They do that now. Wasn't there a huge uproar years ago when they tried to shutdown some fan websites? They had a huge backlash from that, so now, as long as you're not making money on it, they're ok with it. Making money is where they draw the line (that's from Sansweet himself). Yes, that's what I meant by their taking a few missteps in the beginning. They learned quickly, though, that it's much better to look the other way on strict enforcement of copyright for the sake of letting the fans flourish... as that can only be good for the company and fan relations in the end.

One of the things I totally love LFL for is thier release of the Behind the Magic CD-ROM. Sure, the thing is ancient now, and on old technology, but the content on there is incredible. Who would have thought we would be able to see the Biggs scenes from Star Wars? If thess discs hadn't come out, there would be no Deleted Magic, and that would suck.
Totally, totally agree with you there, of course. The significance of that one release (Behind The Magic) cannot be understated. What a wealth of info and multimedia that was.They do that now.
