Having people honestly discuss the editing which takes place is a certain way to allevate some of the concerns which movie labels might have. I heard an interview with the Owner/operator of a website which documents female nudity in movies (they charge for membership), and he said that even though, for the most part what they do is just make copies of pieces of movies, since they have a staff of writers to create reviews and such, this is enough for them to have stayed away from legal action.
Maybe, this might be getting adventurous, but having the complete screen play for each movie in the database (activated by scene number), so that Fan Edits to certain scenes can be compared. (at least the written description). In some ways instead of a trailer, i'd like to see the edits (plus a couple seconds on either side). How the editors manipulate or transpose dialog from one scene to another. I guess i'm feeling this way since with most movies, similar decisions on how to make the movie better will be made. For instance de-JarJar'ing the PT. Cross referencing how the editors dealt with the Jar Jar scenes could be done scene by scene. This could be a way to have interaction (between edits), since anyone could describe the edit they would make. even if they don't have the video expertiese to do it. So similar to T'Bone's Cut Scene webpage (http://starwarz.com/tbone/cut_scenes/ep1/), you could select the movie, in this case TPM, then see a list of the scenes which have been acted upon by Fan Editors. then each edited scene would have a page which would call up the descriptions of each editor's action and why they did it, for what purpose, etc. This would make the site less about the physical edits and more about the editing decisions.
