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.

I'm with ya mate, I'm just saying you cant trust everyone to be honest.

The only thing that consoles me a little is that we are only very small fish in the sea full of real pirates, do a Google search for STAR WARS Blu-Ray 720p; there are hundreds, maybe thousands of different pirate copies of the actual official BD release, so 99% of people who will break the law and download STAR WARS in HD illegally are not going to download ESB:R or the Despecialized Edition, they are going to download Star.Wars.1977-1983.BluRay.720p.DTS-ES.x264-CHD or STAR WARS SAGA 1977 2005 BluRay 720p QEBS5 AAC20 MP4-FASM or some crap like that. And out of the 1% of illegal downloads of STAR WARS that our projects probably constitute, 90% probably do own the official release.

Will be intresting to see how much those stats change when ESB: revisited hits the torrent sites.
