Just make sure when you download from my spleen that you continue to seed as well. Don’t do hit-and-run drive-bys, they may cancel your account on you and then when there are updates will be out of luck. They understand if you can’t get your ratio up because what you’re feeling isn’t in high demand but if you’re not feeding them they tend to take offense to that.

So I’m seeding but there is no one downloading. Will myspleen think I haven’t done my share if it stays this way?

Long time fan of this site and finally got a home theater. I can’t pull the trigger buying the official blurays (the Vader “noo” was the last straw). Would love to get a hold of these blurays but don’t have a myspleen account. Anyone willing to PM me an invite?

Indeed, as one69chev said, we support the official releases because our goal here is certainly not to divert funds from Disney’s blu-ray sales. They’ve been surprisingly non-combative with this scene, and that’s how we would like things to stay. For 99% of us, that means that the blu-rays just sit there on a shelf, unused (or are ripped to our PCs in order to edit into something proper). But we certainly do not support the notion of downloading a free version of the films instead of paying anything.

You’re absolutely right. And it’s true Disney has been graceful about this scene. Now I just feel stupid about not buying the blurays.

I’ll post again after I order them.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but in order to obtain the preservation effort ‘Despecialized’ versions, you have to own the official releases. Otherwise the entire project could be jeopardized. Grab the official Blu rays and then I am sure an invite will not be a problem. Cheers.

Ah I should have been more clear. I own a VHS copy and the DVD copies as well. I just didn’t pull the trigger on the trilogy bluray because of the Noooo as a matter of principle to Lucas film for not supporting that particular change.

Heck, I even double dipped on force awakens with the regular bluray and 3D.

But you guys are right. I’ll go order a copy today to support it.
