If she tried to pass it off as a parody, she MIGHT be safe from George's Mighty Copyright Powers. Parodies fall under "fair use", last I checked -- and a good thing for you they do, Tom.

But that doesn't seem to be what she's doing, so yes, she's stupid. Too stupid even to avail herself of the one out she might have.

Well, see, that's the other thing. The page that I linked to above lists several other pages, and some of the commenters on those pages bring up fanfic, fan videos, etc., etc. They all overlook the three most important points: all of those fan creations acknowledge the original work exists, none of them are passing themselves off as alternatives to the original, and none of them are trying to make money as alternatives to the original. Remember that "The Phantom Edit" only really got in trouble because it was perceived as a possible threat to sales of Episode I on DVD (which should've been a big clue to Lucas right there that he was doing something wrong, but that's a separate issue). I'd love to get my hands on a copy of the PDF just to see if this woman even bothered to credit Lucas or Lucasfilms in any way.
