Well, aside from raving and sputtering inarticulately about how abysmally asinine and excrementally foolish Lucas has become, the only other thing I can really say is thank friggin' Zombie Jebus for what Mike Verta is doing right now.
He and those private owners who have apparently provided materials to him for restoration work give hope that the thing will live on even if all other avenues fail. To hell with copyright, I think it's clear that private restoration is a moral imperative at this point.
