Ah, the so-called "victimless crime". Sure, it's illegal, but no one gets hurt, so why enforce it...
"It's the equivalent of Palpatine ordering the Jedi Knights to assemble on Tatooine to battle Jawas while robot armies destroy Coursant."
You are aware that the films are fiction, right?
"I prefer having a legit DVD in my hand whenever possible."
As do I.
"The people bootlegging Sith right now very well might be capturing a moment in history that we'll never see again ... the workprint/theatrical release. Who knows what Lucas will do to Sith on DVD?"
So now those people may be heroes? I hope you aren't referring to me, as my intentions were nowhere near that selfless, and I doubt any of the other downloaders' were either.
"and the practice is nowhere near as destructive as the MPAA is making it out to be. To pull such big guns on jawas is far more criminal than the crimes the jawas are guilty of."
LOL.....like sending C&D's and closing sites is any kind of threat to our rights. And please stop with the "Robin Hood" act - it simply does not apply.
