What Erik said is exactly my point. I know all those factsyou threw at me hunter, and for the last part of your post, you are preaching to the chior, I don't care one bit about the 2004 versions of the movies or the prequels, all I want are the originals on DVD in watchable quality. I understand where you are coming from and how you feel, but I think you guys are bringing up some ridiculous stuff that just makes everyone involved in this cause look crazy.
Yeah, the truth is distorted on the advertising and box sets, but it is a DVD, nobody outside of our circles really cares and it certianly isn't enough to be sending police to raid the guys house and throw him in jail as a con artist. That is absurd and even slightly unsettling to hear people talk about seriously. The con artist thing doesn't even make any sense at all. He has not reason to con anyone, he is making a ton of money off of Star Wars either way. He has no motive to try to con people, he is just stubborn and doesn't want to release the originals.
So yeah, let's talk Star Trek. Golly gee, I sure hope this new movie has tribbles in it! That'd be swell!
