See, I agree 100% with the original post. What you have to realize is that Lucasfilm isn't necessarily going after us, but rather the bootleg market as a whole. OT.com represents only a tiny fraction of that market. For every copy that somebody gets here, there are hundreds if not thousands sold through Ebay, personal webpages, trade shows, ect. It actually is a pretty lucrative market, and could add up to a few million dollars, which isn't chump change, even to Lucasfilm. This way they can legally (and more effectively) lay waste to the bootleg market. I bet we'll see people (hopefully nobody here) get served with lawsuits and/or cease-and-desist letters on Sept 13th.
