| This actually put into question the terrible business model of these licensors. I mean, I kinda agree with the VA here but this doesn't mean that you can't put enough awareness and hence, pressure to the licensing companies to actually change their ways here. If the market demands for a change it's kinda stupid not to acquiesce, While that is happening I will still continue to watch anime through any means necessary. I do want to help the industry but they don't give me a chance o do it. >.> |

Taifood said: AstZero said: Are you referring to merch from Funimation/Sentai/etc? These companies are the ones that are paying her, no? No, there are many factors that would influence her paycheck and streaming anime is probably gonna be somewhere near the bottom of the list and many more factors influencing her livelihood, she can't blame it all on piracy nor would it be a proper thing to base it on. I'm telling you right now as long as merch is selling(which it is) her situation should see next to no change. My assumption was that her frustration came from Funimation/Viz/Sentai staying afloat so they could pay her in the first place. Her general pay would never change, but being out of work could be a very real possibility should these businesses decide that anime localization is no longer profitable. If that's the companies that pay her then yes, i guess. When you buy a license to air an anime you can also sell merch of said anime.(which costs more and is sold in bigger quantaties) I have no idea who this bitch is really i don't know jack shit about her tbh xD. I'm pretty positive that the anime business in general is rarely profitable outside of making ads for ongoing popular manga to attract more people because anime gets popular faster and is probably going to attract more people. My point is that if anime localization became unprofitable, streaming anime definitely wouldn't be the main reason for it since there are a lot of moralists out there that do regularly pay subscription fees and buy prem accounts on multiple of these sites cuz one of them just doesn't have enough anime available in their country or on the site itself. And also if it really was this big of a deal(as she makes it out to be) people would be taking big meassures to stop it not bitch on a platform made to stir shit up lmao. Fact is they aren't doing virtually anything about it and take a site down(which is probably replaced with a new one in a couple of hours) here and there just for show. |

"Can't watch anime, if it hasn't been licensed." Then what else are we supposed to do? I do get some of her points about piracy but she's really off with her logic though. And a lot of people who buy blu rays and all that, got into anime via piracy so. |
 |
| This has me rolling my eyes. I understand her plight, it /is/ stealing, but at the same time, I have a right to watch something that is impossible to get my hands on. I have a few subscriptions to legally watch anime, and I'm also starting a physical bluray collection, but there is some anime that I want to watch but is a hassle to purchase. Monster is the top series on MAL, but you can only watch it if you BUY the entire collection from Australia. I don't think that streaming it on an illegal site makes you less than dirt. For other people, they illegally stream and download EVERYTHING they watch, without putting a single cent back into the industry, and that isn't right, especially if most of the anime is available to purchase in their country. But who the fuck is policing them. We do what we want, we don't need somebody telling us what is right or wrong. You can't just change someone's by telling them that they suck |

| I paid 89 dollars back in 2008 for the Teen Titan complete series (including the Trouble in Tokyo movie ) DvD collection. I paid 80 dollars back in 2009 for the Powerpuff Girls complete series DvD collection. i paid 95 dollars in 2011 for the Friday Night Lights complete series. And those all have special features and all that stuff. Funimation charges 41 dollars (not including shipping, handling and taxes) for 12 episodes of Fairy Tail. Yeah...... My point being, is it's a rip off to pay 41 dollars not including shipping, handling and taxes for 12 episodes of anything. That's about half what I paid for COMPLETE series. Come on now!! Still not an excuse to pirate though. |

Apparently you're supposed to pay hundreds of dollars on eBay or in some cases buy a VCR just for these titles. A sad world we'd have to live in to miss this stuff. I hope her stance is the same on stuff like museums and other foreign media that you can't just access with buying through "legal" means. Also the VCR need to even watch a media in this day and age really puts this argument in it's place. |

Taifood said: AstZero said: The only thing that personally irks me is that piracy ultimately prevents the west from being a source of money Japan can pay attention to. When Japan doesn't care about a series but the west does, then perhaps they'll make a season 2 anyway, since they know they can still make money on it.If that's the companies that pay her then yes, i guess. When you buy a license to air an anime you can also sell merch of said anime.(which costs more and is sold in bigger quantaties) I have no idea who this bitch is really i don't know jack shit about her tbh xD.

Fact is they aren't doing virtually anything about it and take a site down(which is probably replaced with a new one in a couple of hours) here and there just for show. I know culturally that Japan cares little to nothing about outside opinion, but money could sway that. Piracy just removes the possibility all together. This is definitely not the point that Caitlin was going for. It's mine. Unfortunately though, I don't have the funds to back up this talk, so I'm not going to criticize anyone else for it. Actually showed by game statistics pirated content makes more money due to bigger exposure. I'm pretty sure that no matter what happens Japan won't consider the western audience a thing to take into consideration when deciding what they animate. Pure fact is that Japan doesn't need the West's money. I know that all too well when one of my favs got global popularity but did badly in Japan and it never saw the light of day after those 24 episodes. So not really, piracy doesn't contribute to the fact that Japan won't take the Western or any other audience into consideration. Even if they got more money from the West they still wouldn't make anything that is considered popular among the Western audience they would just get more money for completing a demand from the West which would most likely go to another project aimed at the Japanese audience. |

| I may be late on this, but... I get the point, it IS wrong to watch anime illegaly, no matter the reason or excuse, if I happened to create some sort of art and then decided to not share it with someone specifically, that's on me, it doesn't give anybody the right to go and still get it anyway. But even if I do agree with this kind of reasoning, I still will watch anime illegaly, because I don't care, I can't afford it and where I live even less anime get licensed than North America. I'm gonna pirate it as long as I have the chance to do so, it's unlikely that they will negate me that chance in my lifetime anyway. |

Comic_Sans said: Aplope said: Again, stop with the Wikipedia... You can't frikin attempt to define socialism in one sentence. It's unreal. As I told you, socialism ain't communism. You're debating something that's implied in the frikin name. What on Earth you think the "Social" part of "Social Democracy" stands for? SD is a type of socialism, and Germany's one of the heaviest ones in Europe, as well as the Nordic one. The state intervention over companies, monopoly laws, petrol distribution,... Hell, even cucumbers imports are regulated by specific laws in order to not disturb the economical balance of some regions. Having a "free market" doesn't change any of that. By the way, I'm not American and since you said you ain't either, you should stop pretending you know what they think. It's not that people think the nordics are socialists, it's the most objective truth.

The audio-visual quality of the DVDs I own (mostly British releases and also some American cause I'm lucky to have a region free DVD player, anyways not sure how it works but almost all of them have a Funimation logo on the cover) doesn't compare to the BD rips I downloaded from torrents, especially when it comes to older shows like Cowboy Bebop. If you buy stuff because you want best quality, then buy BDs.I strongly agree with you :) (hopefully I don't sound rude or confusing sorry if I do) Having a psychical copy of something and having the best audio and visuals without any buffer and stuff like that is the best way to experience really any show (imo) I will admit I do have FUNI and HIDIVE subscriptions so I do watch some stuff online first before deciding if a series is for me or not. And you can keep the DVD for as long as you want, you don't need wifi or power (if you have a mini DVD player/ portable player like myself) so theirs alot of upsides (imo) sorry for rambling on. Yeah sorry about the slip up when I buy them if they have a blu-ray DVD combo I'll buy those since I get both the DVD and Blu-ray for the price of one. And I rarely buy Blu-ray only, since I can't play them on the road (my mini DVD/portable player can't read them) although if I could find one that did I'd just switch to just buying blu-rays (and the combo's still) sorry again force of habit just saying DVD and not DVD/Blu-ray. |
