"Their argument crumbles anyway. MBJ and Zion both agree that 1. you can't notice the changes, and 2. they don't matter. They seem to use this argument in the sense that we should therefore accept the changes. But in doing so it raises two counter questions. 1. if you can't notice the changes, why put them there? and 2. if they don't matter than why does it matter so much to have them edited?
This, however, is a good point, and one that MBJ and Zion have not presented an argument against. " First of all, I don't have to satisfy
anyone's answers in regards to my transfer (you know, that whole "personal rights" thing you were talking about - despite the fact you keep insisting I don't have the right to make these changes to begin with.)
Secondly, just to make everything nice and simple and clear - WHEN YOU SPEND A MONTH WORKING ON THESE FILMS FRAME BY FRAME (you know, actually putting time and effort into the best transfer possible? Oh no, you two wouldn't know
JACK about that...my bad.
), THESE LITTLE THINGS TEND TO STICK OUT. SINCE COMBUSTION MAKES SUCH CORRECTIONS NICE AND EASY, I DECIDED TO TRY IT OUT ON THESE SCENES. GUESS WHAT? IT WORKS GREAT!
See....at no point was I thinking about censorship, EULA, contractual law, or the superiority of America over Australia. I JUST DID IT BECAUSE I COULD. If Daniel
really wants to bitch about it, he can complain to Laserman, a fellow Australian, for giving me the software in the first place.
In fact, Laserman, a fellow Australian. had no problem with the changes!?! According to you, this should be impossible. Of course, this presumes your opinion is "true", which of course, it isn't. In fact, he, like many others, have told you to make your own transfer, and your only response is "That's what Lucas would say", so apparently anyone who makes their own transfer is a dirty capitalistic American - too bad for Dr. Gonzo, TR47, ISOMIX, moth3r, etc. and anyone else who makes their own transfer.
Of course, you'll probably say something along the lines of
"Theirs is like Lucas'", to which I would respond that theirs are also made by different versions of the various NTSC LDs, which you repeatedly call inferior to the PAL versions. Since they obviously aren't using the best version possible, then you should call
them out on their lack of love in regards to making the truest version possible. Also, since
you, yourself live in PAL land,
YOU SHOULD MAKE YOUR OWN DAMN "LUCAS-PERFECT" TRANSFER!Speaking of which, Lucas had to become quite the capitalist in order to fund and create the OT to begin with.
Capitalism made these films that you love so much, and don't want changed! Any comment on
that disparity?
"You seem to be of the opinion that if your signature is on a contract, then it doesn't matter if you can understand it - you are bound by it [as is evident by calling what I said bullcrap]. This does not help your case, but it does help mine.)"Take some time to read through this thread - not one person accepts
your "case". ONE!
"SO IS MAKING COPIES OF THE LD'S AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC! (No shit!)
When the hell are you going to address this simple point? (When did I claim it was my right?)
you need to stop accusing everyone else of breaking the law. (As we all know, I didn't accuse you I merely pointed out it is not your right as you claimed it to be.)"First of all, if you are telling someone they are doing something illegal, you are telling them that they are breaking the law. Those things are kinda synonymous, at least in American.
Secondly, let me point out the retardness of your stance. You and I are both speeding down the highway (we both help distribute LD copies). You look over at me in my car and start screaming at me because I am driving without a seatbelt (making changes in my transfer). You claim that, in a legal sense, it's a
greater offense to make these changes than the original speeding (or, at least, you continue to
focus on the changes, and ignore the speeding issue altogether.) You know what the cops are going to notice first? THE SPEEDING (distributing LD copies.)

"(Capitalism. "If I was to censor the media you wouldn't know because I am the government."Bwah-ha-ha-ha - Capitalism:
An economic system in which the means of production and distribution are privately or corporately owned and development is proportionate to the accumulation and reinvestment of profits gained in a free market.You don't even know what the Hell capitalism (or even censorship) really is,
AND THESE ARE THE MAJOR BASIS OF YOUR ARGUMENT. Just goes to show the "worth" of your argument.
"I move over for no one, I can do whatever I want because I am in control."You've not budged either, and YES, I
AM in control of my transfer. Sucks to be you.
"(Who are you trying to convince? Me?"...as is everyone else who has responded in this thread. So much for my changes being such an earth-shattering affront to SW fans everywhere. LOL!
"The silent voices? The undecided?"According to you, they don't matter....you know,
"the number you've got hanging out of your butt.", or at least wish you did in this thread. Of course, there were these statements...
"S64, i continue to agree with you."
"so we're all in the same boat there."
Seems to me you are trying
really hard to make a consensus here. Too bad it's not working (for you, at least.)
