I don't understand this "trying too hard, fooling someone" rubbish. And I'm far from the only person putting barcodes on fan edits. As I said before, film posters, dvd covers, etc, etc, are graphic art, are ads first, fan created or no, commercial art. The dvd covers made by most fans here are created with promotional photographs, film posters , fonts, logos, etc, a barcode is simply a futherence to that, a preference.
I stand by the artwork, take it or leave it. If you want to nitpick because there's a barcode in it, be my guest.
