Last year Lucasfilm shut down a screening at a bar, and it was the SE. They weren't charging admission or anything, but LFL said it was illegal. It's a bit grey but usually not a problem. Pizza shops and bars often have TVs for sports, movies, whatever--a great pizza shop I used to go to had AMC on all the time, so I got to eat really good pizza and watch classic movies. Lucasfilm are really generous sometimes and other times they are complete assholes.

Interesting. In what ways have they been atypically generous? 

The continued existance of the site for one. A lawyer could shut this place down in the matter of a day, and possibly prosecute many of us. It wouldn't be right, but the US justice system is a farce once corporate interests are at stake.

Whenever I read Brian Daley's Han Solo books, The Corporate Sector Authority always makes me think of the possible future of the US.  :(
