Agreed! Using the passage of time as a defense for Cameron is asinine. He can release his "Special Edition" or Ultimate Cut of Avatar but it looks as if he is planning to replace the current theatrical cut with what he considers to be a better version which would give him no right to call out Lucas! On the other hand if the theatrical cut is still considered valid and isn't wiped off the face of the Earth Cameron can get away with it.

Have I missed something? The original theatrical is available today.

EDIT: xhonzi beat me to it.
