It’s so frustrating to see all of this. On one hand, it would be ideal if we could just have links out in the open for everyone! OF COURSE we want everyone to experience Star Wars the “right” way! But then, we are crossing a line where the Mouse could wake up and shut it all down over copyright infringement concerns. So, we’re forced to put small barriers up to make sure it at least takes a little bit of research and work to get it.
Then you have the asshats who just profit off that confusion.
I think you’re absolutely right here. Even though it’s really hard to get your hands on these amazing works (especially for relatively new users; like me), I believe that it is only right that we have to wait until some experienced/older user wants to share it. Even if is takes the time, I have no problem with waiting, before supporting some dickheads trying to make money with other people work.
