If George felt compelled to release the GOUT to stifle low quality bootlegs, then I wonder how he would feel about Despecialized and the 35mm fan preservations.
To stiffle the buying and selling of low quality bootlegs. I don’t think they really care, if a few fans share fan preservations among each other. However, when large numbers of copies are being sold on the black market, then they will take notice.
