Yes it's frustrating, but they've moved the bar. (copyright laws allow them that latitude) It's higher now, instead of asking them for a copy, the public is now forced to seek out an old film print, scan it themselves and deal with the repurcusions when LFL seeks compensation. Or get copyright laws revised so that it'll be part of the public domain prior to the death of those who saw it opening day. Both are challenges but not insurmountable.

How the hell did you find that. lol :) did you email him?
The major search engines have a time frame option, so after you search you can say only show me results which turned up in the last 24 hours. (or a day or the last week, etc.) That's how I found the korean list, I took a sentence of your cut scene list and dumped it in, at first it found nothing then an hour or so later, that korean page showed up. So i've been doing 24 hour searches for new reviews/comments on this thread's topic and that, what I guess was a negative review showed up. But it had already been taken down... The blog is sketchy, couldn't find any contact info, but posted a comment in the latest post (still hasn't been approved), see if he returns a response. Have a feeling the site attempts to get ad hits by creating posts related to currently trending topics.

Here's a crazy thought, but perhaps the company doing the audio / video encoding screwed up?
What's sad is that it was never picked up in a QAR at either the layoff, tape dub, encode or any subsequent stage.
Going to be interesting attempting to explain inconsistencies in these releases when most people will be completely dazzled by the new found resolution.
Let's say they did take their time with this release, what would have been an approximate date for last change? Do they need a month for reproduction of 100k copies of a 9 disc set? How many did the 2004 set sell?
