Okay, we get it, he pissed you off. He may have even been rude.
But really, he didn't have to release a single thing, could have kept it completely to himself.
I think it is sometimes forgotten here that no-one 'owes' anyone anything, if someone wants to buy a rare movie or disc and video themselves eating it, that is their pergogative.
Anyone here could have ponied up the $700 themselves if they thought it was important enough.
It has been stated multiple times here that a high quality capture will be made, that it is not easy to do due to the state of the disc, and that it will be shared for *free* when it is done. I think that is a pretty good deal that someone spent $700+ of their own cash and is going to share it with everyone for nothing. All one has to do is wait.
Here's the thing: I've never said that he SHOULD or that we DESERVE to get this. In fact, I'm pretty pissed off that it fell into such irresponsible and fame-seeking hands.
And, since you brought it up, had I known about it, I would have dropped a helluva lot more than $700 on that disc. I've spent a lot more on a lot less. It is easily worth 3 to 4 times that amount. Had the seller known what he had, he could have taken care of this Christmas AND next Christmas.
Although you state that it will be shared, that is not what the original purchaser said. Unfortunately, I'm going to go with what HE has publicly stated until I have reason to believe otherwise.
But...C'est la vie...
