Its almost like they are making a point of undermining our editors work now.
I wouldn't say that. It's more like they saw how many people were downloading this, and thought to themselves "Wow, there really is an interest out there." I'm sure it also cuts down on bootlegging, so they're killing two birds with one stone. Hopefully, they don't throw out a rush job at us >_< (then of course, there's the chance that the timing is just a cooincidence...but I don't buy it)

I just feel like i got my extended edition already.
The only reason fan preservations exist in the first place is to obtain something that can't be gotten by legal means. "I can get this for free, so why should I pay for it?" isn't exactly the right way to look at it ;) (then again, one way you can look at it is that this cut is unmatted)
Personally, I feel pretty honored that we were able to do something to make a change. It's like we signed a petition that actually worked ;D

Urm, is that where it gets a little gray area? I own the official cut of Waterworld, and McFlys Ulysses Cut, does that now mean im required to purchace the extended edition...?
Not sure...all I can say is when I have to rebuy a movie I already own, I always give the old one away to a friend.

"Digital Copy" is the term they give to a bonus disc that comes with said edition of the film...
Okay, so it's not something that's going to destroy the functionality of the actual movie, it's just a space/money-waster.
