I totally agree. Shame on this forum's administrators. I wish good luck to OCP.


Uh, no, shame on OCP. As much as I want to see SWCE 2.0, I'm not going to pay anyone more than $5 for a DL disc (label and case or not). DL discs cost me about $1.50 and my DVD cases are about 25 cents a piece. Add in the label and ink and the cost is no more than about $5. Asking for more money to cover your time or your bad burns is wrong. As the admins have said, fix your hardware, don't try to be compensated for it by everyone else. You're suppose to be doing these edits out of love for the movie, not to make money. That's not even mentioning the fact that Star Wars is still copyrighted by LFL. I don't care if it takes someone 100 days to do a fan edit. The only person that really has any right to make any money from it is George Lucas himself.

I've personally only ever sent out a couple of discs to one person here before, but I can honestly say that I will never charge more than the materials and shipping. Shipping a DVD (SL or DL) with a label in a case costs just under $2, so that's still less than the $10-$20 he wanted for it.

I wish OCP good luck in the future, but shame on him for trying to sell fan edits to cover his time and bad burns.
