Rik: Calm down, buddy. Yes, it's about the fans. But if I make something, if I put all that time and effort into something that intensive, why should people beef with me about that if I decide I'd rather just hang onto it myself? If it's my time and my work going into it, and no one hired me to do it, why should I feel COMPELLED to give it to anyone else? How does that make it automatically free-market goods? I mean, obviously, someone else did the same thing anyway, right? ISOMIX? And then someone else came up with the same idea these guys had, right? MeBe? So why the stomping and teeth-gnashing and weak arguments designed to cajole people into giving you what you want? You can dress it up with 'it's for the fans" as much as you want, but the tone of your posts isn't benevolent sounding. it sounds more like "Gimme gimme gimme gimme."

I understand their side of it, and I understand your side of it. But your argument is very very lacking and petty sounding.

And DanielB, go fuck yourself. I'm surprised your head hasn't imploded due to the black-hole level vaccuum currently sucking at the inside of your skull. Stop talking. Having someone as ass-backwards as you attempt to moralize to ANYONE about ANYTHING is the height of absurdity, as far as I'm concerned. Either that or your weird as hell justification for your asinine ramblings. "Lay off me, I made a girl kill herself." Next thing you know, you'll be telling us about how you caused a grandmother to jump from a building and impale her grandchildren on railroad spikes, but you had to brush it off because "That's just how you are." or something. Save it. I don't need your empty-headed speechifying. So shut the fuck up.

And for the rest of you--lucky for you, the people who DID create this set HAVE said it's okay if these versions DO get out now, as Gonzo got a hold of someone who got a hold of someone who relayed the information that you kids didn't give a SHIT about the wishes of the people who made it and were going to distribute it anyway because it's your god-given right to have as many different versions of a laserdisc rip as possible. So they cruised on over, checked it out, and decided that they might as well make it available to you. I don't know any of the details as to how and when this will all happen, but soon, so Rik can update his posts and give everyone the link to the torrentsite or whatever.

All is well in capture-land
