I own a few of the titles on this list.  The fact that some thought they had to waste public money by bringing this to court is insane.  There are a couple of things that occur in pan and scan copies of films that just don't appear on the films I own that are on this list.  First, two characters can never have a face to face conversation unless their noses are almost touching, and then most of the back of each head will be cut off.  This results in clever editing to avaoid scanning where you will see shots of each character talking which can destroy the director's intent.  That doesn't occur in these films.  Another thing, even on DVDs. film grain can be quite apparent and images fuzzy as the image is now blown up to a degree to fill the screen from top to bottom.  The films on this list that I own don't even seem to have this issue and finally, the credits are obviously squeezed at the beginning and end to look long and tall instead of spread across the screen.  Its a crappy excuse for a lawsuit.  Next you know, someone will be suing WB for using cheap DVD cases made of cardboard.
