I went out and bought AOTC on DVD to justify owning a fan-edit to myself.
I believe that if I'm going to enjoy this product, even in a modified format, then the company that made it deserves my money.
Honestly, I hadn't considered buying the blu-rays EVER (not currently owning a blu-ray player) until this thread. Now I suppose that when I upgrade, if I plan on getting a fan-edit or preservation in Blu-Ray quality, I will indeed go buy the actual blu-ray set.
This is just a moral choice on my part.
