I agree that it's not just splitting hairs as far as the DVD vs. Blu. The same logic would suggest that torrenting a blu ray rip is fine if you own the 10 year old DVD based on the same transfer. (not making an argument on piracy as a whole here, just that what I've described would never be okay for a group trying to follow the rules). As doubleofive said, the difference between releases is of course even greater where SW is concerned.

I think the takeaway message is: It's counterproductive to say in the official thread, which is linked from various places, why you haven't bought the official product. Even if it's to give some polite praise.

which we all believe Disney is now doing

I'm hopeful, but I wouldn't say we all think they're doing that now.

To be clear: we're certainly not all sold on the fact that they're going to be releasing the OOT. Isn't the fact that a 4K remaster of some form has been done basically confirmed, though?
