Hey pal, relax. I was in no way accusing you of selling anything dark_jedi. And I respect the fact that you would not share anything without someones permission, you have been a good member of this community and the preservation community for a long time, I would never expect or suspect you of selling or distributing something if you felt you shouldn't. My post was not directed at you, nor was it ment to be taken so accusatory as it has been.

How weird - everyone on Originaltrilogy is posting about the extended Army of Darkness waiting for it. The guy who made it, Scott, has made no announcement. He sent this edit to me AGES ago. Maybe you should let them know it actually exists! Maybe I'll put it up as a torrent.

Quit trying to sleight a dude for trying to help you.

I am not trying to "sleight a dude" for anything, nor am I accusing Garrett of selling anything. Ridgeshark also sent me a copy back in November for me to proof-watch. Nowhere in anything he wrote to me did he give me permission to distribute it. I would not even think about making a copy and giving it to a close friend without Ridgeshark's permission.

You (Reverend Beastly) said that an ex-member had a copy and would be sending it to you, and you would send it to dark_jedi , who could distribute it for everyone to enjoy. I didn't know if the ex-member had permission to distribute it or not. When you said that the ex-member was Garrett, I said that is was a very Garrett like thing to do to distribute a movie without the makers permission and I don't think it is a good idea. I made this comment based on Garrett's selling of other peoples preservations that happened once upon a time. Not trying to bring that back up, don't get me wrong, I actually like Garrett and use to enjoy reading his posts, I merely ment that the guy has not shown the best judgment in the past when it comes to these matters, and his lead might not be the best to follow. The fact that in the email he wrote to you he immediately came to the conclusion "Maybe I'll put it up as a torrent" since the Ridge hasn't released it yet confirms what I wrote was an accurate assumption.

It is a great set. It would be sad for it not to see the light of day beyond the few people he sent copies out to. I was very impressed with it, from the menu and disclaimer down to the actual editing. He put a lot of work into it, and has done a great job. Maybe he wouldn't mind it being distributed, maybe he wants it distributed. But I think it is quite an honor to be asked to receive an advanced copy for previewing, and while he did not say to me "please don't distribute this to anyone" it doesn't seem right for me to do so.

If I made an edit, and asked someone if they would be willing to check it for errors, then after sending it to them got busy with life and had to put the project aside for a bit until I had time to come back and finish it up, and while I was gone I find that it made its way all over the internet, I would be pretty annoyed.

At anyrate, do as you feel comfortable with. Sorry, I honestly was not trying to sleight anyone.
