Hyperspace banishing it's paying members???

This has caused quite the stir over at the official site: anyone caught or suspected of circulating teaser material on certain "monitored" websites will have their Hyperspace account permanently deactivated without refund. Now this is getting ridiculous.... I can understand if it is available exclusively on their site, which it's not! It's a freakin' commercial which has already been shown on TV countless times and on other free sites across the web. If anything they should be kissing our butt's for the exposure they are getting. You shouldn't have to pay to get excited for a movie which will be out in 6 months. Great way for Lucasfilm to show appreciation by cracking down on it's most loyal fans.Thank god my membership runs out this month, i am not giving those money-grubbing hutt's another cent!

they are being banned because they agreed not to infringe copyright material - something to which u would never agree as LFL are profiteers - and you now know better

I havent seen anything even worth paying for on the HS. Why should GL make us pay for stuff we are going to pay again to see in the theatre. The whole Hyperspace thing is just a money grab for Lucas. It is not like he isn't rich enough as it is. 😒

Exactly...... They even doubled the price for Hyperspace and started to deliver less! What ever happened to the promised Lucas selects? Ep3 Animatics reel? also does anyone remember the near 3 months without a webdoc? Hyperspace is becoming a joke. 🙄

No Lucas Is a joke! 😠 😠 😠

What if the suspected weren't posting material from the "Hyperspace" version. You gotta remember the trailer was publicly available on AOL, AccessHollywood.com, TV and played by almost every news station across america. C'mon it's a freakin' advertisement! not something so top secret that people should lose their money and memberships by......

I completely agree with gambit420.

< agrees with them both

Here's to you guys! 🍺

Ive seen places even pictures of the trailer that have a tag that sat " removed at request of LucasFilm"... how is a movie trailer that has aired on network TV protected material after that? ridiculous

It really is sad. Star Wars just doesn't seem like Star Wars anymore. Especially when all this new stuff is based on greed

*stops sipping from his Jar Jar binks Tacobell cup*

Oh well 🙁

Listen, I know how you feel. But the simple answer is "because Lucasfilm paid the television network to air the teaser, and it is copyrighted material that Lucasfilm owns".

Believe me, I've been through it. I got LFL'd for hosting pictures no less.

Hey dare they charge ppl to see such a culturally significant event as a "TRAILER" and add to that charge the fans whom actually make starwars so successful in the first place. If it wasnt for us seeing it OVER AND OVER AND OVER again, it wouldnt be the box office hit that it is.

I think we just might be some science experiment on how bad we want Star Wars. If we will be willing to break the law for it, the law isn't enough resistance to protect the license agreement. They might have to start killing us or turn to the dark side to stop the extreme fans.

😂

thats it. im not giving GL any of my money. even on may 25th (release date for ROTS in uk) im gonna get it on high quality piriot for £5 when its around in june 2005 sometime and ill watch it about 673284 times just paying £5 altogether. WHOS WITH ME!!

he agreed not to post HS stuff on other site's and he did'nt do what he said he would do.It's very well legal what they did.

But i agree that hyperspace really is stupid.You pay really much for almost nothing (except Insider but i live in Europe so i don't get hyperspace).

The money dones't go to lucas it goes to the website staff and the mazine staff. Lucas has nothing to with the website so you can,t blame him.

we can. he created star wars

Yeah.
