Dunno... I take from this that they were upset about your use of images, etc. on the myspace page. I really don't think they were talking about persuing legal action should they see your fan edit released to the community as a freely distributed fan activity. They have never once taken action against any of the other fan edits to hit the scene. I just think that your distribution of images and video via the myspace community got their attention. I have also heard of some of the many Labyrinth character myspace pages being contacted with a similar form letter. I understand your enthusiasm in wanting to get information about the edit out to those who might be interested beyond the ot.com community, but I do know that any myspace page that carries copywritten images can be hit. But I think it is a matter of someone very jealous of your talents ratting you out. Because I have heard numerous times that, much like eBay and unlike YouTube, myspace relies on its own members to police the activity of other members. They don't have a myspace police that sits there looking at pages to see who has copywritten images and who doesn't.

In any event, I hope you at least complete the edit for yourself as it seems a waste to simply let it die completely. And in a year or two when the heat dies down, like you said, perhaps it could hit the newsgroups or torrents, perhaps even under a different name so as not to directly tie it back to you.

Again, I completely understand your position as it is kind of scary to get your first C&D form letter, but I read it and all I see is that they didn't appreciate your "advertising" the project via myspace. The community here is one thing. While a fantastic and creative community, it is VERY small when all is considered by LFL. But when they see the thing being talked about within a community of 150 million plus, that takes things to a whole other level.

No matter what you decide, those were great trailers and I really hope to see the finished project in some form down the road.

Good luck!
