So, was -1 aware that Joe had previously agreed not to disseminate Pete’s print under any circumstance?

I literally was just about to ask this myself, as it seems like it’s the main issue here. If -1 was not aware, it’s hard to blame him along with Joe.

It’s also hard to believe Mike would be this pissed at -1 if the answer was “no.”

The other question I have is how -1 found out about Joe’s scan of Pete’s print, which may also help answer the question of if -1 knew Joe was not supposed to distribute the scan.

We are on the same page here, literally and figuratively, how often does THAT happen? LOL

I also noticed that Mike said Joe “gave” said scan. There is nothing to suggest Joe was solicited or purchased by Ng1 or Tn1 to obtain the print. So if it is passed to them, are they under some legal obligation to turn down the receiving of said print if it’s being given to them? Since owning a print or scan of one isn’t letter of the law legal I’m leaning towards no.

As for the Silver Screen Edition, I thought it was sourced from the Spanish LPP print, not the Technicolor print from “Pete”.

I did hear Mike say that “Joe” paid for both scans and hard drives for retention of said scans. With the legality being iffy at best, there is nothing protecting “Pete” since he also received a scan of his print that was paid for by Joe.

The only constant in all this … those upset hate Ng1, not the anonymous members of Tn1.

What a pickle.

It’s actually a chair.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Post 102 is worth more.

I’m late to the party, but I think this is the best song. Enjoy!

I agree with Rob on this one.
Everyone has had a chance to give their perspectives, the individual accounts are not banned and each team member is free to say whatever they want on the matter. No one is being stifled and no individual has been banned, so it is hard to say anyone is treated unfairly, as anyone is free to have their say. If you choose not to have your say, then that is your choice, it isn’t ‘unfair’, it is just a choice.

All team accounts are banned, and that is separate to this issue anyway.
People can make up their own minds as to what is good form and what is not, people’s opinions will fall all along the spectrum from one side to the other, to not really caring. I think it has been pretty much talked out.

There are already other Tech IB restorations in progress, Rob has said that he still has access to the print, and IMHO, a rescan now is a good idea anyway, and it sounds like Rob or others can get that happening, and regardless, other Techs have been scanned and are being worked on, so nothing is really lost.

Rob seems ready to move on, I think starting new threads for any projects is a great idea anyway, the old ones are too damn long to dig through, and they will still be there for any history.

In a way, all of this is good, I think we will all be encouraged to be more open with each other, and at the very least, have the good form to check in with anyone who may have been involved if offered a print or a scan and check that everyone is really okay with it being used.

You can debate the legalities and ‘evidence’ till the end of time, but in the end, it all boils down to being decent with each other, and if in any doubt, ask.

My personal feeling is that there is no animosity between Mike and Rob, who are the only people weighing in on this with what happened anyway, so let’s shake hands and move on.

There is a lot of work to be done, and more resources available than any of us have the time to get through, nothing has been lost, there is plenty to do, both on Star Wars and many other titles that have not had decent restorations.

Let’s get back to work, there is so much yet to do.
