I see 6 members ask for a pirated copy of the official DVD, two even admit to being in the UK! Every member could instead purchase the DVD legally.

Thank you for pointing this out. Please note that the initial request was posted before the release of the UK box set with the colorized version; it's possible the poster didn't realize its release was coming about a month later. Subsequent posts seem to discuss the LD rip, not a UK DVD rip. With the UK DVD now available (even if it's only in a box set), the colorized version of King Kong no longer qualifies for "preservation" status.

That post also brought another issue to my attention: official releases in different regions. Since multi-region players are so cheap these days and DVD imports are easy to come by, I don't see the justification behind format conversions (PAL to NTSC, for example) to share with people outside your region. I removed the post offering NTSC conversions of the PAL release and posted a clarification of preservation forum rule #4 to address this issue.
