I didn’t mean to break any rules here- and I apologize if my message was interpreted as that.
I like the fans of course and just like the idea of a good version available on the film, as you all do. I would not want that version to be available everywhere, and have the profiteers start going around to conventions with it.
I’ve personally never made a profit off a ‘preservation’ film transfer. The people who contributed to help with the transfers did help, but it never covered the actual costs. Transfer is expensive!
Clearly some members of this forum are willing to share pms on a public forum; I’m astonished by that.
