PROVIDED THE RECIPIENTS OWN THE BLU RAYS!!!!
Thats all fine and dandy, but when those recipients make copies to send out, they may or may not ask their recipients if they have the official blu-rays, and so on, and so on .......
Also when the edit makes it way to the torrent sites, who's gonna demand that person downloading if they own the official copies?
Anyway, I went to wall-mart today to price more Blu-ray players and I found a few that were down to 70$. Can't beat that at all.
People like myself are just making the intentions of faneditors and this website's stance on piracy clear. Jay, Adywan and any other fan editors are taking every precaution that it's done as above board as possible (short of us going out and policing the whole world!), and you're responding by pointing out the obvious - that people will ignore this site's and the project's disclaimers regardless.
As ben_danger and others have pointed out, considering the current fuss with SOPA, this site and fanedits are in very real danger of being shut down. So why are you going out of your way to underline the fact that people will pirate it? It gives any anti piracy government group extra ammunition as it makes out that the edit will encourage people to download without owning the source material (which they've always done and always will without the influence of this site. We already know!)
Consider me baffled.
