Yes, that seems to be a good way to put it.

As I understand it, even making the edit is violating the copyright. You cannot create a derivative work without permission of the copyright holder. However, making a fan-edit only for yourself would be considered fair-use. But fair-use only means that a copyright violation isn’t prosecuted, not that the violation is nullified.

So, in essence, creating the edit isn’t entirely legal, but also not really illegal. I could have worded that better.

I think you guys are all misunderstanding *** entertainment. They make it very clear that you are not being charged for the discs, you are being charged as compensation for the money that they spent to put the set together. Whether they are making a profit or not is impossible to tell (it is highly probable that they are), but selling artwork is not a crime, even if it is of copyrighted material. Therefor, *** has done nothing illegal. The only issue is morality, which I will admit is shaky in this circumstance, but as far as legality, there is really nothing to worry about with these people.

Hi *** entertainment!

I am not from *** I have been a member here since before *** was a thing. I’ll admit I don’t really know much about copyright laws, I was just offering my own take on the issue. Sorry if I said anything that offended you guys, you all know more about this than me hahaha

There was nothing offensive about your post. You were simply wrong.

The question was never wether fan-edits were legal. They are not. So any way of distributing fan-edits, no matter if paid or for free, is technically a copyright infringement.

The community came up with a way to at least morally justify what they are doing. Not charging people for fan-edits is part of that. Anyone selling fan-edits on ebay is therefore legally and morally in the wrong.

You posted your view order in the ranking thread.

Cool.

The site was down, but it wasn’t morning for me when it happened.

The Millenium Falcon ended up on Jakku and Unkar Plutt seems to be a big name in the smuggler scene, so it’s not hard to assume that lots of different people visit Jakku and that Rey was exposed to all sorts of alien and robot languages.

5). The Phantom Menace (I’m part of the minority that thinks this is the best prequel)

I don’t think this group is a minority, at least here.

Last edit cursed

You should really adapt the new and improved naming convention for this kind of thread.

Yeah, I figured it would be better to stay on topic and make a thread to talk about favorite thread titles instead.

JEDIT: Sorry for not using the The New Thread Thread thread.

The ‘101 Ways to Kill Off-Topic For Good’ Thread…

The ‘next Movie you have seen’ thread…

Last thread title hated

You’re weird.

The same applies to you.

Yeah but I’m rubber and you’re glue.

Is the “miuxing up movi(e) quotes” title also up-to-date?

If they had more trained pilots than ships, why was Luke, who had no training with spaceships, flying an X-Wing?

How about everybody should wear a top when in public? Can we just agree on that and let it go?

Also a hat. Everyone must wear a hat.

Preferably a top hat.

Nobody is telling women to go topless. All we are saying is a woman’s body shouldn’t be treated as obscene.

A woman’s body isn’t treated as anymore obscene than a man’s.

Tell that to the top half of a woman’s body.

Really?

Men can walk around without a shirt, women can’t. You’re still saying a woman’s body isn’t treated any more obscene than a man’s?

What are you even talking about?

Women have to cover their private parts, men have to cover their private parts.

But what makes a woman’s nipple more private than a man’s?

Read Chyron’s post.

I don’t get it?

Did you just pick a random frame from the movie? I don’t see what’s supposed to be so bad about it. Especially compared to the plastic CGI look of Clones and Sith.

That’s because it’s not a 2 hour long video game cutscene.

Visually wonderful, just like Episode III.

Oh, wait.

Favorite show of all time, and I enjoy that they actually quoted it accurately instead of just getting a picture and meming it however they want.

This post is the best thing to come out of that stupid “discussion”.

At first glance I read that as jedit and wondered what you edited.

If we could say the r-word, it wouldn’t be the r-word.
