 There should really be an official website.

It would certainly help reduce some of the "no brainer" questions.

 

For this sort of thing, that sort of thing is a bad idea. Even though the desired material is the stuff adywan worked hard to make, the actual film itself is still a copyrighted work representing the money and efforts of the people it belongs to. No one has the right to give it away for free. Within the fanediting community, there is an understanding that one should own an original retail copy of the edited film before downloading.

This sort of thing is much easier to keep running smoothly when existing slightly under the surface of the internet. An official site, boldly advertising the existence of this edit, and inviting every Tom, Dick, and Harry to come and download it while explaining to them exactly how to go about doing so is a very good way to draw negative attention.

Right now fanediting is a small community of hobbists trying things out and passing their efforts on to one another. The bigger and more noticable it gets, the more it looks to outsider like a bunch of pirates just wanting free movies. Fanedits.com, and the links provider therein really have all the information one needs to find what they are looking for.
