Its obvious that even GL has to know what kind of money we are talking about with an OT release. And I think at least some people at FOX have to be aware of this intimidating figure. So if we cant appeal to GL personally, lets appeal to people with nothing personal at stake. FOX is in business to make money. If they realize, perhaps if they have it ground into understanding, just how much money they could make - perhaps that would be motivation for them to go out of their way to get the OT on DVD.
I love this petition. I think its exceptionally worded, and the concept is noble. But I think we'd have better luck writing letters to FOX with some details about these huge numbers they are missing out on.
Im not sure just how much control GL has. Its possible that this would be as fruitless as anything else. Maybe GL has such exclusive rights that he cant be persuaded. Its obvious that he has some kind of major stick in his ass about the OT. (For some reason it doesnt even exist to him now, nevermind that its the only reason he exists as he does now).
So if this has been discussed before, sorry. I was just thinking about the economics of it. If FOX released the OT in a box set for $100 dollars a unit, and made it limited production; say 100,000 units - i dont need to spell it out for you guys. Perhaps they think that there isnt a market for it, maybe we need to let them know.
Personally, im going to look into this. I need to find out who to write to at FOX, and then im going to start with a personal letter. And maybe after that a semi-petition.
Let me know what you think. Sorry this is so long winded.
