Originally posted by: Vigo - It was not Lucas Goodwill to bring us the OOT. It was the continuing protests of fans and the numerous attempts from fans to preserve the OOT on DVD´s themselves using VHS or Laserdisc sources which changed his mind. The primary aim for this DVD release is to destroy the commercial market for the fan made preservations, which were sold by bootleggers for very high prices on Ebay. Keep that in mind if you try to bring on this "George is so good, be grateful!" argument, since it is only an understandable decision made by a business man.
An excellent summation! I didn't grasp this aspect until I read it here!
Thank you, Vigo!
I shall add this to emails I send out to explain my (our!) standpoint.
We must fight the September Release!!
