Well said, MSD. Speaking as a lawyer, piracy exists only when people are subverting the legitimate means of production for their own gain, monetary or otherwise. If we had a bunch of people on here selling fan edits like this was eBay, we'd have a problem. If people were specifically saying, "Don't buy the legitimate DVD releases; I'll sell you my fan edits," we'd have a problem.

Personally, I like this community and most of the people I've gotten to know through it. A few rotten apples will come through now and again, but that's no reason to put an end to the community.
