Ooohhh. I don't know about that. Lucas is very very strict when it comes to anything Star Wars. I wouldn't be surprised if he's watching those HK's like a hawk and threatens to sue them for everything they're worth if they rip Star Wars. That being said, I'm sure there's still gonna be someone out there who tries to rip it.
Sites like d9dvd.com and dtsd9.com sell rips of every hollywood movie and they have them within a month of US releases. They also ripped the Indiana jones boxset so I don't think they will pass up on this opportunity. And then its the same story as anime rips, what can Lucas do to them over there? They won't get arrested because of just star wars and I don't think Lucas has more "power" than other hollywood companies who have been trying to shut them (pressing plants) down for a long time.
Ohh, and I thought the rips sold on ebay were copied from laserdisc.
