I have a request for a torrent, but I'm not 100% sure this is the correct place for it...

I want a DVD copy of MagFan's episode 1 and 2 edits. Can anyone sort me out? I'm a MySpleen member already etc. I can seed stuff in return or maybe mail out a DVD or 2 to whoever sorts me out... ;^)

I think the reason that Ritker hasn't torrented MagFans DVDs is that he doesn't want them to appear on eBay.

If he ever changes his mind, or even better if someone would like to post them in a.b.sw - I would second this request.

FanTAStic point! LOL!


That is one of the four tests when deciding whether fair use applies: the impact such use has on the market or value of the copyrighted work. Make sure the judge has Star Wars toys in his chambers, though, just to be on the safe side.




And when the owner quit the MPAA when they gave him flak about not putting star billing before the title, I would think it would make it even less likely.

Actually, he left the Director's Guild over that incident.

VH1's When Star Wars Ruled the World

Few movies have reached the iconic status of the original Star Wars trilogy. A
long-shot science fiction project that was rejected by multiple Hollywood
studios, Star Wars (and its creator George Lucas) defied the skeptics and became
one of the biggest pop culture phenomena of all time. Now VH1 is working with
Lucasfilm to produce the ultimate oral history of the Star Wars years, When Star
Wars Ruled the World. Timed to coincide with the DVD release of the original
trilogy on September 21, 2004, this hour-long documentary will take viewers back
to those rapturous moments when the whole world wanted to wield a light saber.

The show begins in the mid-1970s as George Lucas struggles to find a way to make
his dream project a reality. Relive the incredible and unlikely impact of the
first Star Wars movie, the sudden fame of unknowns like Harrison Ford, Mark
Hamill and Carrie Fisher, and the way fans around the world fell in love, first
with the movie and then with the action figures, pillow cases, C-3PO cereal and
everything else they could - and did - line up to buy. Manufacturers could
hardly keep up with the demand for anything and everything Star Wars (swamped by
clamoring fans, the official Star Wars toymaker, Kenner, at one point had to
settle for selling vouchers for yet-to-be-made action figures.)

The show will also chronicle the immense anticipation for the first Star Wars
sequel, The Empire Strikes Back and the build-up to the climactic Return of the
Jedi that had fans traveling hundreds of miles to visit the gates of the movie's
set. Along the way, we will highlight the cultural impression made on millions
of fans by Star Wars icons like Darth Vader, Ewoks, and Yoda, and lines like "I
am your father," "That's no moon. It's a space station," and, "May the force be
with you."


INTERVIEW LIST:

* Mark Hamill - Luke Skywalker
* Carrie Fisher - Princess Leia
* Harrison Ford - Han Solo
* Anthony Daniels - C-3P0
* Kenny Baker - R2-D2
* Peter Mayhew - Chewbacca

It think what we are in need of, for everyone's peace of mind, is someone from the group in who lives in Canada to set up a torrent tracker for the OT community.

I think you'd probably get a better response if the details on how to set up a tracker, what sort of bandwidth is needed, what things might cost, etc., were posted. Then somebody -- anybody -- in Canada could go ahead and do it. I'd be really reluctant to say, "Yeah, I'll do it!" without knowing up front all the effort, cost, and legal hassles I could reasonably expect to encounter.

Honestly I know nothing of the process or costs of running a torrent tracker.
I'm guessing if we had a OT dedicated tracker, it should be able to run on donations just fine.

As far as legal, I'm no lawyer, but last ruling up in Canada basically said P2P file trading is legal.

Can anyone help with any of these points? Sounds like if the details are right Karyoudo might be interested...

I just read that a DVD-R of the VH1 special has been made. There's a fan I know that wants this very badly, and so do I. PM me privately or E-mail me.

Rik,

If this is the PAL DVD (with the TMF logo) I just re-did the menu (I made a motion menu) to include the 2 minutes that aren't in the DVD. I'm posting it on alt.binaries.starwars tomorrow.
