After reading all of the comments of the threads regarding xeonbox, I feel extremely pissed. Goodness gracious, I felt all sorts of pains not only in my head, but my soul as well. Man, when he was going on and off about selling original anime in Malaysia and others, I have people over in Penang, selling over such stuff in Prangin Mall(Fyonne and other Penangites will know), and they even admit it's pirated.

I can understand the meaning of the less wealthy people not being able to purchase the true real deal D.V.D.s and Blu-rays from Japan. However, I'm pretty sure in every single school, company and society, there will always be those who are willing to share, like perhaps a U.S. comic book expert who might be willing to share the comics and explain about it. The same applies to us who might have the media to share it to them. Heck, I'd rather invite the less fortunate to watch with me, with my fansubbed episodes, than let them buy the pirated ones.

For every single time I see a person buying such a bootleg copy, the following scenario unfolds in my mind: When the money is finally accumulated, the money would be given to the Triads(the ones with the Ah Longs and such), who are all engaged in all the vices we can find in this country, ranging from sex, gambling, money laundering and of course, illegal copying. Heck, for every time they get more money, they might even go and kidnap little girls for their sex trade.(This part will feel very, very sarcastic)Just imagine, no lolis to be found and why? It's because we've been funding such things.

Basically, I am just rambling like a madman, but with a conscience.

Well I was kinda late on the bashing on the people who are supposedly selling "original" anime copies, therefore I simply raged. Besides, I won't be surprised that the subbers in Taiwan/H.K./China are involved with the Triads. Of course, the animators are also getting the shit kicked out of them, not getting their proper compensation from low sales and what not. Honestly, I'm really sad for the lack of proper anime being obtainable in our country, besides the so called "original vendors".

If anyone can come up with an idea on how to possibly allow proper anime to be distributed in this country, I'm all up for it.
