I believe the poster above is right on target about "the copyright issue" as it relates to "Fan Edits". I just could not imagine any studio spending hundreds of thousand of dollars in lawyer and court fees to prosecute "Fans" who may make a few dozen "Fan Edits" from parts of there property. That would be Looney. On the other hand, I can see them going after the big marked knock off manufactures, who sell thousands of units that are no more then low quality transfers of an actual complete film title, and being sold as official {including studio logos}. There is much more damage being done to the copyright holder in this latter chase, where the standards of the product quality may negatively represent the studios other DVD products to some unaware consumers. I don't know anyone here who tries to distribute DVDs {or artwork} that claim to be "Original" and "Official" DVD versions of titles. In fact, most editors around here go out of the way to boast the changes and alterations made in there fan edit work, and recommend you own an original version so that you can compare their edit work to the standard official versions....
