I couldn't disagree more. I think Lucasfilm would have popped our dear friends Dr. Gonzo, TR47, Rikter, and the like, long ago if the Laserdisc transfers were a concern. Just because they're doing it the best, means nothing. A Laserdisc transfer is for backup purposes only. Specifically, for the people who own them but either cannot play them on current hardware, or desire to have an archive version in case of loss or damage - which is perfectly legal. What's illegal is owning transfers and not owning the originals. Plain and simple. So if anything, they should be going after recipients, not creators - and that's highly unlikely. George Lucas doesn't give a hoot about us fans of the OOT (as he's made perfectly clear), nor does he care about the Laserdiscs. Generally, he doesn't care about his masterpiece in their true form. A raw cut of the transfer would be completely within the scope of a personal backup, probably even more so than an actual DVD, as it does nothing to affect DVD sales of the current version(which is total garbage).
And p.s : Laserdisc is anything but a "lame" form. In fact, many laserdiscs are known to contain higher video bitrates, and naturally, higher-quality audio than their DVD counterparts. As well as the fact that Laserdisc data is written via frequency modulation (like an LP), as opposed to the lackluster digitally-encoded video on a DVD, where the dreaded encoding problems can cause quality loss and significant errors in the video stream.
