So how many did you download, man?
None.
Uh, if posting scans of Star Wars posters is copyright infringement, we'd have to shut down every cover site and half the internet.

To an extent I agree. Obviously the fact that I have been a contributing member here for so long says something about what I think about what is going on on this website. However I do think that posting scans from a book that can be purchased legally is a bit over the line. After all we are not talking about scanning posters here. What we are talking about is scanning a book. The fact of the matter is that we can spend days going back and forth about this issue and it's validity here on this forum. Seeing as we are both members of a forum that actively partakes in the preservation of out of print movies I have to assume that along some line we have a common ground about what is right and what is wrong legally here. With that in mind I really have nothing left to say about this issue that won’t lead us, and this thread, in circles for the next few days/weeks.
I'm not trying to start a lengthy conversation about the legalities of this site. That is a matter that rests in the hands of the moderators and Jay alone. Outside of those people it is simply a matter of personal opinion that, in all fairness, doesn't amount to a whole hill of beans. I just wanted to point out that I think this particular thread may be going a bit far with its depiction of copyrighted material. That is it, period. No mal intent was intended.
Please don't take that as a knock against ocpmovie in any shape or form.
