so seeing as the movie isn`t available on retail format , this HDTV release no matter if it downloaded or shared via disc for a small fee isn`t affecting Warner Bros profit margins in anyway.
I have somewhere a post that i copied from a cartoon trading forum where a chap who trades in unreleased Warner cartoons had a phonecall from Warner Bros Piracy Manager and he stated himself that the company had no real issues with people trading unavailable back catalogue as they have much bigger fish to fry and they are trying to release as much of their back catalogue as fast as possible.
The new special edition whenever it comes out might possibly be a completely new cut compared to the dirs cut or theatrical so these need to be preserved in the best quality possible. the same applies to the original Star Wars releases
DigitalFreak should be thanked for releasing such a nice set and for putting the work in to author it etc
