Very true. In an ideal world the only people who should ever receive a C&D are those who try to sell and profit financially from fakes which they knowingly reproduce, advertize and sell as the real thing. I personally also draw the line at those unscrupulous parasites who download edits from forums, burn them to multiple disks and then try to sell them.

Well this is the way it should be in an ideal world. The problem is we don't live in an ideal world... we live in a world of corporations, bureaucrats and lawyers. What concerns me is we may not have GL acting as a "buffer" between corporate interests and fan interests as we once had, even if it had been only implied. Correct me if I am wrong, but it was kind of a "gentleman's agreement" between GL and Star Wars fans, to my understanding.
