You do realise that Japan has been in deflation or very low inflation for a couple of decades, right?

I'm not convinced that file-sharing means as much as macroeconomic issues like central bank policy and the employment insecurity of freeters.

File-sharing allows more dissemination of source material. It's unclear how much money is actually lost due to it. Without file-sharing, the revenues of manga publishers might be about the same, but the widespread cultural knowledge of their publications much lower. And that could actually be bad for long-term revenues, as their would be less cultivation of a manga fanbase.

Or you could be right that it was contributory. We don't really know.

It is the case that film and printed matter translators and importers were prone to going out of business even before 1998 and the explosion of the Internet.

I don't know what kind of econometric data it would take to establish empirically whether fan translations are mostly good or bad for publishers. I wonder if anyone's seriously tried.

I might not like the answer if we could find it out.

Also, I can spell "there," really!
