After researching I found this https://youtu.be/gwIbM_uS8aA a direct way to talk to them so go post comments but please keep it civilized.
Reading some of the comments for the video link posted, the person responsible thinks he’s doing OOT fans a service. Satisfied customers are praising this leach.
As some others have commented - Lucas is the real villain for withholding the original versions.

I want to scream at this dude
I don’t mind people buying harmys Despecialized Edition
I am not saying this is not good becuase it isn’t at all but I don’t mind if people buy it I own all the files on my pc, The only way to get the files are through jdownloader and torrents the files are really hard to get some people don’t want to spend all day downloading files when they can pay somebody to do it for them.
Should not have said that.
Sorry my mistake.

Yet, those files are not really hard to get at all. And people do not spend all day downloading files - the computer does that for them.
Many people on here and on other similar sites have managed this - not just for Despecialized, but for other Fan Edits too.
I am pretty sure, many, many people out there have also managed to download illegal torrents of films, tv, music etc - without paying for them on ebay - even back in the days of 4-5kb/ps download speeds.

So people can ask some one to make them a copy and discuss reimbursement through PMs?
No.
I advise reading the rules of the site - also the fan edit / fan preservation rules for the site too, and Harmy’s request and statement here - https://www.facebook.com/despecialized/.

I tried downloading the files for the Despecialized trilogy once, it took about 24 hours - for one film. I also downloaded the software used to convert the files, the software did nothing, I gave up.
I still don’t have the Despecialized versions and have never seen them.
I would never pay for a fan edit/restoration. The 2006 OOT non-anamorphic DVD’s will do for now, until these films are shown the proper respect they deserve.

It was a joke. Downloading Despecialized shouldn’t take a long time with any reasonable internet connection.

reasonable internet connection.
that’s the problem.
many people don’t have reasonable internet connections.
they have to settle for crap.
I have the 7.9GB (DVD9)
Each one of them was a 10 hour download.
I have DSL from CenturyLink. we get just under 4MBPS on a good day.
We tried to get cable years ago
but they told us the house was too far from the road.
Unless we move we are screwed.

Yet more reason that my page 1 suggestion should be implemented:
While we need to do a better job at directing new members towards important information (see here for my suggestion), there will still be the problem of people unwilling/unable to burn the blu-rays and create custom sets. For those people, buying these things may be the only way they get their hands on them. And that’s a big problem.
Any solution not involving money would be quite a hassle, and the best thing I can think of is a system wherein the party requesting the blu-ray would be required to purchase their own blank blu-ray discs and send them in a package containing their copy of the relevant 2011 Blu-ray discs (as proof of purchase) and enough postage for sending it all back.

The best solution would be to pay a fee for the original film release to stream off a website which pays royalties to the actual companies that are entitled to payment for the intellectual property but which also unlocks fan versions or preservations and alternatives of said title purchased that can be viewed as optional in addition to the title you bought the right to watch and stream.
This would create communities around films. And users could share artwork and opinions / reviews so on and so fourth about the film.
difficult but that I think would be ideal.
No matter weather you own a physical copy you would if you like have to subscribe to the film via this streaming site to view edits scans or whatever of a film made by other fans.
There are a number of reasons this is all very positive with no downsides that I can think of because film companies get paid… People learn software tools for free, People can get job offers to work on restoring films or companies can look and scout for talent based on output. I think it’s a good niche circle and would be all round positive. And also build strong fan bases and communities around films that have large, small and cult followings. And also attract people even if they were not wanting to do any work on any titles but simply they follow both the original work and what fans also do with it.
Creation space surrounding films of all kinds with options and extras surrounding an IP and fun most of all.
It will also be a great source of Information for reboots, sequels,remakes and hopefully more original IP’s.
I would say make the site free to join and post and review and discuss a films merits and it’s shortfalls If you are a fan you subscribe this then unlocks your subscriptions to news about the title and fan base work from art, sound and video.
That is really all I have to say on the idea.

if the issue is downloading and not burning, could party requesting buy a portable hard drive or flash drives?
and send that with there 2011 Blu-rays? and only send the 2011 discs in sleeves or skinny Jewel cases. to cut down shipping cost?

Seriously. He didn’t HAVE to pay $20 for winrar to open it. There are free alternatives that are just as good if not better. Not my fault you don’t know shit about fuck!
Winrar is free!
No it isn’t but it has a free trial.
Unziplight is free and opens basically everything.
No it isn’t but it has a free trial.
I haven’t downloaded it in a while, so maybe they changed it. But my version says it’s only free to use for like 40 days, and after that expires, it tells you it is expired…and then goes right on working anyway.
Regardless, 7-zip also works fine.
Hmmn… Brooksville, Florida - that, along with the grammar and layout of the ebay listing, rings a bell…
‘waste 3 days of your life trying to download it’? What? did they have to sit in front the screen for all ‘3 days’ to make sure it was downloading okay?
Trying to justify a charge for a zip program? Laughable.

"Right now the coffees are doing their final work." (Airi, Masked Rider Den-o episode 1)
That whole damn listing is laughable. That scumbag has clearly been reading what we’ve been saying about people selling fanedits and tailored that “sales pitch” around any potential objections.
They’ve missed the point that it’s simply morally wrong to sell them. If you want to help people to view the edit then HELP them, don’t sodding well charge them!!
