Do you have any specifics on that?
"I'm just curious as to why someone would take so much time and put so much care (it seems) into a really wonderful set and then not want it distributed?"
Well, to be quite honest, when you've put as much time, effort and money into these projects as I or Laserman or Gonzo or any of the other handful of people who have done this, it's kinda hard to just "let it go". While internet notoriety is a nice thing, it doesn't completely make up for the "family time" that was missed, or the bills that need to be paid. I still kinda shake my head when people complain about having to spend more than 5 bucks on one of these versions. They just don't get the fact that you cannot simply "rip-&-burn" LD versions like you can another DVD. It is apples to oranges, big time. I thought I would have been done with my versions at least a year ago, if not more, but better technology and techniques keep coming my way, which has required even more time and money. As I've said a couple of times, unlike the Studios, I don't have the volume for cost-effective economy of scale. Selling a DVD for 5 bucks does nothing to amortize the money I've put into this project (close to $2,000, and Laserman has spent more than me.)
I still intend to put a verion on BitTorrents, but don't believe that the thought of holding on to it (like mverta) or selling it on Ebay (though I'm too chicken) hasn't crossed my mind for various reasons.
[EDIT] I guess that's just the Capitalist in me.
