Why don’t you guys just have links to downloads (torrents and file share site links etc) on the OT•com?

 
To acquire a Fan Project you will likely have to read the Editor / Author’s thread (usually in their first post) - or PM them for instructions on how to acquire their project. You will also have to own the official retail release - as per the site’s Preservation / Fan Edit Rules & FAQ.
 

We ❤️ Star Wars and give it all the moneys. Please don’t sue us.’ - this applies for every Fan Project on here (not just for Star Wars releases) - we pay for the film/tv/media release beforehand; via purchasing the physical media or digital download etc.

We are not pirates - and this is not a torrent or download site.

 
The site and community would prefer not to raise our profile any higher than it already is. We have a nice thing going where people are being allowed to work on Fan Edits & Projects and then share them with others who own the retail release - without the copyright owners bringing the hammer down. Let’s keep it that way.

Posting links to torrents and file share sites is a sure way to bring the wrath of Disney and other film companies here. We’ve been around since 2003 - so let’s not do anything to jeopardise our future - and likely that of the Fan Edit community as a whole.
 

For a list of allowable links for this site please click on this link and scroll down to the ‘FAQ Section’ - Number ‘9. What kind of links can I post?

or click here - What kind of download links can I post on this site? - for info too.

 

Also, joining up here and then creating a new thread along the lines ‘Give me the link to X’, ‘Where is project Y’, or going straight into a project thread and posting ‘How do I get these?’ doesn’t really fly on here - and will likely be ignored or deleted. Take the time to learn about a project - read through the project thread(s) - as well as how to acquire them; simply making an effort to be part of the community here, and how this place works, even if just leaving feedback for acquired projects, can go a long way…

NOTE: Many editors & preservationists choose not to make their projects available to ‘hit & runners’ or people with a post history of mainly asking for many projects - which is completely up to them. That some people join up here looking to simply take - instead of give something back; not even leaving a simple ‘thank you’, feedback or review, or join in with the community here - and instead move on to asking for more projects… is not encouraged. As above, such requests may likely be ignored.

Many of the projects on here have been undertaken by volunteers or enthusiasts who’ve devoted considerable time, effort, dedication and some expense… to locate, preserve, restore & archive - or edit - films and TV programs in their best possible presentation. This is often with painstaking commitment - yet all projects are available for free; not to mention our members also improving upon & sharing techniques, knowledge, technical assistance, experiences - and a few stories, along the way.
