Also, on the spreadsheet, you could also "FREEZE" the top line, if
you know how to do that, so it doesn't scroll with the data, and a "Do
I Own It" column could be added so we can use the list as a database.
Also, having the form factor column would facilitate sorting of the
list for users, as opposed to your keeping it in the title column
which does not support that form of sort at all.
It wouldn't take much work to make the list far more useful.
Great list, but it appears, a lazy attitude.
I suppose ideally a separate list for LD, DVD, HD DVD, and BR would
be the correct way to do it.
Oh and hey! That would also negate your non-existent copyright or
any claim thereto!
Compiling a list of publicly available data makes the list a PD
item, regardless of your declared "rights". Let alone the fact that
you would have a really hard time taking to task anyone that made such
a list available in another form, or even a direct copy, for that
matter.
Why even bother declaring it, since it wouldn't even hold up under
even the most conservative scrutiny?
