The issue with that is that broadcasts of films can only be kept for 24hrs after air date (at least for content coming out of the States.

Not true at all for the use of DVR's. I have already talked to by cable provider and they they said it was not against any copyright law to save movies on a DVR longer than 24 hours. I asked them that specifically. They all give the option of either deleting when you choose, or have the unit itself delete to save hard drive space. Even the people at my own COX center cent say that they have saved movies on their DVR's for long periods of time, like 2 years. The fail safe on the DVR's is that they all have the USB ports dissabled to prevent copying from the units.Thats why it's legal to save on the units. Some of my family members that upgraded to DVR's from COX had to delete the movies that were stored in the unit from the previous user.

And since Ady is not currently using the Blu-rays as the source of his editing, I don't feel any need to go out and immediately buy the blu-rays, unless the Administration enforce it here. I'm not totally against the blu-rays but I'm not totally for them either.  Right know they really don't offer me anything that I haven't already seen.

But pushing a "boycott" of the blu-rays, that's asking for trouble. Firstly, it wouldn't achieve anything except for a miniscule, negligible dent in sales, and two, if they caught wind of it, you're asking for them to stop fan edits being published online.

 I cant see that happening. Lucas would have stopped it a long time ago if he had any issue with it. Especially with ANH revisited.
