| It's understandable to torrent something if you already owned it before or your region blocks you from it. Then what about the people who torrent when their entertainment is accessible? Not just anime but games, movies, and porn. Edit: I guess I didn't get my main point out. But here it is. Are you willing to support an entertainment industry if means of obtaining it is just as easy as it is to obtain illegally? And for me yes, I would quit torrenting cold turkey if anime/games/movies were sold as conveniently as it is to torrent them. And this isn't a thread calling people out for torrenting, I torrent too |

| I would by my anime if I could buy it online the day it comes out. I don't torrent anything else, because it has accessibility. Plus porn is free. ( ͡͡ ° ͜ ʖ ͡ °) |
| Free is better than not free. It's really not that hard to understand. |
 |
| "It's higher quality bro. Ppl who stream are stopid. Streeming is 4 phagz" Was true a few years ago but theres high quality sites nowadays so there argument is invalid EDIT: Oh u mean pay for my shit. Well then i woulda been bankrupt years ago |

| I have perfect accessibility for anime and I still torrent anyway. I don't know why this question even exists. But for anime specifically, I torrent because there's no better alternative. I want to get to my computer and have everything downloaded to my watch folder without I having to click a thing, to be able to watch anime in the best quality which is something streaming websites such as CrunchyRoll will never be able to provide. So the answer: automation, convinience and quality. |

Udgey said: Feyfray said: That's pretty obvious but what is your stance on it?People put themselves first. It's human nature. Personally, I torrent / stream everything because it's more convenient for me and I don't have enough money to get all of the books / anime / music / movies etc. that I want even if it were all available. If I only bought everything I enjoyed for entertainment, I would have to seriously limit the amount of things. Not to mention albums leak out early on torrents all the time and who likes to wait? |

| I torrent because the Japanese don't deserve my money. I make sure to buy everything else though. |

My upload speed is pretty bad so I set that when my torrents finish downloading they just get removed without seeding. |
| I can understand to some degree |
Eearu said: Some sites require seeding to download more content, others consider seeding as good etiquette. Leeching is an inconvenience if the torrents have little to no seeders.

I hear a lot of people saying it is very easy to bypass its seeding limit (just log out before downloading). About the price I really have no idea, around CrunchyRoll's fee feels reasonable, if it is too expensive people will be encouraged to torrent instead, if it is too cheap it will be hard to maintain. |
| I torrent some things because searching for working mirrors and opening a new tab for each episode is a pain |
| lol |
Feyfray said: Free is better than not free. It's really not that hard to understand. Agreed Why is this even worth discussing? Id rather not buy things Ill only watch once, for whatever reason people on MAL are really annoying about buying useless merchandise to support the anime industry. I guess it gives them some kind of purpose in life |
| My only excuse for torrenting is because I'm broke. I sometimes buy the stuff that I've enjoyed, though. |
| Buying anime is for losers. That aside, I do buy the comic books and manga that are avaliable in my country because 1) I like to read my stuff phisically 2) I want to support the mexican market 3) I have enough money for it |

| I torrent because I can. In comparison to buying shit: 1. It is quicker and more convenient to obtain by torrent. (even automatic - in my case) 2. It occupies no physical space. 3. It costs no money (aside from bandwidth costs) 4. And most importantly: It's DRM-free. In comparison to DDL or XDCC: 1. RSS Auto-downloads make it quicker and more convenient to obtain by torrent. 2. It's more reliable: it can sustain dropped connections and pieces are checked to avoid corruption. 3. Batches: A single link to download an entire series. 4. P2P sharing helps take the load off the providers' servers so everyone can get it faster without costing the fansubbers more money. |

I just typed that up now, but I could've probably found the last one with google and posted that. This is probably the most accurate and concise version yet, so I may very well reuse it at some point. |

| The only thing I torrent is anime. And there is nothing that anyone could say that would make me stop torrenting anime. Maybe if I could buy anime locally I would. I think I would buy some anime locally but not all of it. This is because I read some manga I buy at the store and a few I just read online. So anime would probably be the same. |
 |
| If I could get a Blu-Ray disk for an entire series of anime (I'm talking 24 episodes-ish), for less than $50, I'd buy it if I really liked it, less than $30 if it was memorable, and less than $20 if it was decent. I'm not even presenting that I'd want it multi-audio and subtitled. But I can't do that. I don't know how they put up with it in Japan. All the Otakus over there have allowance money or something. Anime is expensive. Video games are cheap. |
| I torrent because it's easy and I like the community. NOT because of lack of money. |

| I usually buy a series after torrenting it if I really liked it, but most anime just aren't worth spending money on. And some anime that are worth buying are just way overpriced (Fate/Zero for example). |

| One, I'm poor. Two, I don't want to wait for a DVD release or whatever it is, I watch it on the day it airs. Three, if I order it, my family will find out. Torrenting solves all of these problems. Seriously, it really is the best thing ever. |
