i dont see how bootleg talk ruins this petition at all...
Well the idea is that if we, and by extension what we are trying to accomplish here is to be taken seriously by any private or public groups or companies, then we shouldn't engage in any non-legal activities that they would frown upon and hence dismiss us, such as talking about bootlegs or piracy.
That said, let me repeat that I support any means to back up and preserve any copies of the original OT that we still possess to ensure the public's continued access to our cultural history. I just wish I could make a tape dupe of my dying VHS, but unfortunately I can't.
Until George changes his mind and releases it officially, may the force be with us all
