Yet he still makes the original version available in high quality. Unlike a certain some else who edits other people's work. Some who's initials are GL.

Getting there....glad to see you're still interested in the project. There's obviously not enough excitement in your own life to keep you away from these boards.
Shouldn't you be finishing up editing someone else's work?

I've never said that he didn't have anything to do with any of them; quite the contrary. He had a lot to do with them. Of course, the crux of the issue, which you keeps sidestepping, is that the original versions aren't available to us, except in a substandard release. You keep criticizing people for making fan edits (Which I don't, by the way.), yet GL is doing the same thing to the OOT, and you don't seem to have a problem with that. This is what I struggle with. Plus, fan edits will be seen by, what, a hundred people, tops? Hardly anyone knows that they exist. That's hardly rewriting history on movie that changed the face of the cultural landscape. It'd be like if I drew a mustache on a classmate in my yearbook or wrote fanfiction. It doesn't change the work or the person; I just amuse myself. Yet, GL does. AND THE ORIGINAL VERSION IS NOT AVAILABLE IN THE QUALITY THAT IT DESERVES. And you have no problem with him.
Besides, they don't exist anymore. He said so himself. So that means that people can do whatever they damn well please with them. If the don't exist, he has no right to get down on bootleggers. Fans want to preserve the movies, because they clearly love them a hell of a lot more than he does.
