Do you own the actual original laserdiscs used for the transfer? And did you transfer them yourself? No, well the copies you obtain from the X0 project would not under US law be considered "personal back-ups". Unless I'm mistaking (and Zion, correct me if I'm wrong) - the purpose of the X0 project is to digitally preserve the THX Laserdiscs of the SW trilogy in the highest possible quality, with all flaws due to the Laserdisc format and the digital transfer such as ghosting, stray pixels causing image flaws, hairs, scratches and the 2:3 pulldown fixed - not to serve as an alternative to legally purchasing the September DVD's - is this correct?
