Well the thing with this particular set is that NJVC got really picky and stingy about its distribution because of asshats selling it for profit on places like eBay. I don’t blame him a bit, but that’s why it’s only on the places it’s at.

And I completely agree, but as far as Mega goes, it’s a single point of failure or “control”. Especially given Mega’s past. Just a thought. You can’t protect against asshats by hindering the community that wants to enjoy it. Asshats will always exist, even beyond your knowledge. The Lego MF 75192 set had a custom stand built on rebrickable.com recently. People ended up listing up eBay even tho it’s completely free. I’ve never understood the choice of removing your media just because you don’t like people doing bad things with it. You screw over the people you meant to help making you just as bad as the people selling the media.

Just my thoughts, I still support a choice not to share by the content creator. I upload things to UseNet as my own archival process to protect myself. 6+ years of “free” “unlimited” unbiased cloud storage. Lol. These days usenet retention doesn’t shrink, everyday is another day of retention added. Gone are the days of retention wars.

No one is being “screwed over.” NJVC doesn’t owe us anything. We should all be grateful for the work he put into this and be grateful there’s a way for us to get them for FREE.

I get it no worries. They owe us nothing :-p. No sarcasm there. The screwed over part to me is the tease of later parties once it’s disappeared. I see it as a community effort to keep it alive once the original content creator shares their creation in efforts to share their own enjoyment. Color me an archivist. That said, I greatly appreciate the work and effort to continuing supply of this and it’s original creators. Thank You very much! I’m not that knowledgeable on every change to the series so I look forward to watching a definitive source to understand it! I shall become a convert.

So with the approaching Last Jedi, I’ve been watching the team negative grindhouse versions of the films. Finished A New Hope last night and wondered about these Despecialized Editions by Harmy. Seeing that there were these custom blu-ray copies by NJVC, I started my project to download the entire set last night (this morning) to it’s completion just now. Very uniquely awesome work here! With that said, as a Usenet aficionado, being that they were on Mega I had to pay for a premium account through alter sources for a Voucher Code. On that note, these may find their way “untouched” to usenet, disagreements? Or are they already on there “untouched”? The archival purposes along grant the community a 6 year reprieve from any disappearances. Obfuscation and Pass-wording can go a long way to prevent DMCA removal these days. I for one would hate to loose my copies and not have the Mega links accessible. The entire source looks like around 300gb (all original mega links md5 checked). A par2 set would be very convenient to have for recovery of corrupt rars retrieved by end users.

Does the community perfer to keep these in house to places like personal mega accounts or myspleen? I’ve never even heard of myspleen till now but I’m no rocket scientist :-p
