thanks so much for ruining the anime industry

can always call home ministry and continue with that plan. i also think this is a very good idea to begin with. and thus leads to the war among those bootleg taugehs to earn the official license to sell their product here.

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.

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned already, but sometimes, if you observe carefully, the cover art of the so-called original dvds are actually fanart drawn by fans. (who are probably unaware that someone's slapped their work on a dvd case to sell..)

Damn.. I always thought DVD with those KDN Sticker is original for sure.

How about website such as http://www.ShopOtaku.com or http://www.bestbuyanime.com ?

I bet they are not original too.

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 ...
