Re: Argument has been going on forever

On the subject of fansubs: They're not evil. I've seen plenty, both VHS and torrent. But I buy what I watch, and so should you.

What if it's really, really bad? I'm really grateful I could watch Chobits online, so I'll never have to waste money on something I dislike so much.

Generally, that's how I see downloading - as a way to sample things so I know which ones I want to buy.

On the subject of being poor: I don't exactly approve of this excuse, even though I know its validity. Maybe you should restrain yourself to unlicensed series?

I also think that downloading the really popular ones (like Naruto, Bleach, and the like), is a lot less harmful since they're made by large companies (who make extreme amounts of money mostly from merchandise) that are less hurt by downloading.

Actually, even the popular stuff doesn't make as much money as TV boxsets (no wonder they're cheaper). We're a niche market. It just might not seem that way because some of us, and I include myself in this, prefer the less popular series and separate ourselves from the culture around the more popular ones.

Nothing makes as much money as television box sets. It's not exactly the same market, is it?

I don't pick series because of their popularity, or lack thereof, and I hope I have a balanced view of the fandom, as far as it is possible. I do know that ever since anime became easily accessible online, the industry has exploded. Sure, it would be even bigger if all anime fans bought everything they watched, but that's just not possible, for several reasons.

As long as people buy what they can and what they like, I think it's good enough.
