Excuse me if I’m missing something, but since no one who “owns” a print of Star Wars actually legally “owns” it (since they all belong to Fox/Disney), why exactly is the person who loaned the Technicolor scan upset? I can understand if he or she is worroed because a scan of that print could be traced back and thus face legal repercussions from Fox/Disney. But if it’s something other than that…well, frankly: what right does that person have to keep such a thing to him or herself when none of what we’re talking about here is strictly “legal”?
As far as I understand (from what I’ve read on the forum), someone paid (I assume quite a fair amount of money, since scanning prints isn’t cheap) to have that print scanned. And then someone else gave those scans away, without that person’s (the guy who had it scanned) permission.
That’s not proper conduct. legal or not.
So why isn’t the person who passed it on not the one being blamed and outted? Is it because that person is in a more important position than tn1 and outing them would cause more harm to Mike’s current progress than outing an unknown team of people? I’m still confused.
They’ve been outed as ‘person #2’, which is enough. There’s no precedent here for publicly shaming someone with their legal name in this discourse.
Even all the people who know -1’s name are not posting it in these threads due to this controversy. Because that’s a shitty thing to do, and surely against the rules here, or at least the expected behavior.
The last couple pages here seem to be full of ideas on how to degenerate into something we really shouldn’t want to become.
