I'm speaking hard truths here. We're complaining about the affordable original 'BT' copies of animes readily available. Most comes with LPF standard stickers.
If most of us are high middle income earners, then its our rights to demand only original animes. But the rest, are simply mid to low middle income earners.
Either buying legitimate original 'BT' copies or leeched 'em direct from BT or even the gazillions streaming sites out there.
No, I'm not encouraging buying pirated goods ... but hey, I still smelled hypocrisy when those self proclaimed anime lovers with money to burn still cheapos in their own rights as they watch animes via streaming sites ... the free ones ...
being poor or having shitty govt or having shitty currency or all of the above/more does not justify for piracy. if you're gonna do it, dont do it with pride.

There are cheap anime streaming sites. Just a few dollars. HD quality. Repeatable watch. Affordable for low-mid income earners (for instance, a site offered about USD 100 per year and that's about RM 25 per month and
it's all access). If this low-mid income earners can buy RM 2k android phones with Digi line at RM 58 per month while subscribing Unifi at RM 150 per month, why not subscribing such site?
not exactly all access. most sites have regional licenses that applied to only USA for instance. majority of "cheap" paid streaming sites (even NND, which is free) have licenses that only governs USA. for malaysia, if the anime production studio does not extend the license to say, malaysia, we wont get to watch it, period.

downloading anime from the internet illegally and buying bootlegged copies are the same... both are piracy.
I don't understand why anyone should condone one act while happily doing the other.
At Hobbies and Collectibles section, we even have ppl selling bootlegged gundam model kits...LOL
for the sake of "the better side" anyways, at least downloading you're not paying anyone. buying pirated/bootlegged copy pays the pirates, and in turn funds them to pirate more.

this man speaks the HARD truth.
rich and righteousness fag detected.
>got free streaming sites
>but pay cheap streaming sitesAre those sites paying royalty to the said anime...?
The only legitimate one I think seems to be crunchyroll and many of the those said sites are illegitimate and take your money for illegally streaming it online, so that itself is pretty vague to support.
And, further most,
When you see something you wanted to buy in a shop on the floor, do you likely take it?
That's sums up the majority of normal people.
Some people normally try to support the industry. Pirated figurines is pretty much a big NO still(at least in my book)
But anime, does it look any different if in original DVD/BD or stream/downloaded online? No, it's just a matter of feeling righteous of supporting the industry or not. And truthfully most people would rather stream or download. It's sad but but who are we kidding, most people want everything but don't have the money but still want it.

And no, I am not a righteous person. I buy figurines and some merchandise but most anime I spend most of it streaming. I probably going to hell for it.
But surely someone else who has the money to burn is buying the DVD/BD out there. Kudos to you.
if you're not gonna get your facts right, please just shut up.
