I think it’s way too presumptive to suggest that a move like that would have a positive impact on the negotiation. What hand would it force? If we imagine for a second that it isn’t incredibly likely to have a negative impact

But what exactly would be the negative effect? The -1 Technicolor version would seed across torrent, thousands of people would get to see the highest quality version of the original film…what could Disney/Fox do other than risk alienating the hell out of fans by sending a lot of cease-and-desist letters? The RIAA have largely stopped going after people who share music. I don’t see what the negative effect would be.
