BTW, if someone brings up the LOC prints:

1. Do not have ROTJ as of this posting

2. The ESB print may or may not be the SE/ and is in worse shape than the copy of ANH

1. incorrect. Here's the LOC 'Return of the Jedi' public record:

Under 'Description; you'll read 35mm ref print. and under 'Acquisition Source' the date 6/15/83.

You are mixing up the general Library of Congress with the LOC's Nation Film Archive. Two separate organizations, under one roof. Almost all works published at least one or two copies are send to the LOC for archiving and copyright verification. The LOC-NFA is a recent body created to preserve currently considered 'culturally valuable' works. The public votes, so submit your vote for the Holiday Special today. http://www.loc.gov/film/

2. there are multiple SW and ESB's in the archives. the LOC has at least one, and the LOC-NFA has a different one. The ESB LOC-NFA print hasn't even arrived yet.

4. No one should have to wait 40 years to see the OOT in modern AV quality.

Then write a letter to your Congress persons explaining to them why current copyright legislation is faulty.
