| I think they should use torrents but it's ok,it's still better than using cr |
    |
| I don't really mind. It's their choice. |
 |
| I don't think anything of them until they start complaining that episodes or chapters should come out right away and translated for them like if they deserve free content I say that as someone who uses pirate sites but also buys DVDs/Blurays/Volumes for shows I like |
 |
| Piracy is so bad, I am morally good is what my lawyer tells me to say. |
| I'm not supporting netflix, amazon, crunchyroll because they don't generally align with my principles. |
 |
| I don't mind especially if their case is like mine, which is the very little/almost no access to anime in your native language which is why 99.9% of my anime watched are from pirated sites x) |

| I would gladly pay for anime streaming if there was a single usable paid streaming site where the money actually went to the creators. |
IMortaI said: What do you think of people who uses pirated site to watch anime? Some of them I feel sorry for. Others I find pathetic. I am part of a minority in the West among Anime fandom that still mostly buys official physical copies of anime on DVD, Blu-ray, and Laser Disc since it's also a hobby of mine to collect them. But I will also still watch Anime on legit streaming services from time to time too. The real problem is there isn't really much anyone can do about piracy since in the west there is almost no consequences in doing it unless one is caught trying to make money off it. Until piracy laws are reformed and they actually enforce them in the west where there is an actual threat of real Jail time that any Users could face, nothing is really going to change in the west. When I see Users on MAL that practically publicly advertise their piracy habits and even sometimes brag about it, I can't help but feel a bit annoyed when sometimes seeing the same User later posting on the MAL forums complaining and bitching about this medium as if Anime is like a human right they are entitled to consume without ever paying for it. But mostly I can really care less about what people do. If Users are content in consuming third rate Anime from some illegal site where usually the subtitles are hardcoded and there is constantly a tacky watermark on their screen as a reminder of the site they are on that's their malfunction. I guess I am lucky enough in this world where I can afford the things I enjoy in life without having to steal them. |

| Real ones use youtube to watch anime ateks said: So that's why you need to subscribe to bilibili...I would gladly pay for anime streaming if there was a single usable paid streaming site where the money actually went to the creators. |
 |
| I think they kinda created the online anime community as we know today by spreading the media and making it popular. So yeah, piracy rocks. |
 |
| Consider them fallow intelectuals. Not pay even if was multimilionaire, leads to slippery slope. Today pay anime, next pay patreon game creator, next simp youtube. Soon will find myself fighting off kittys for territory in adoption box. Will at least win that, man's hand made to bludgeon.

| I still use "Pirated" sites even tho I have membership for almost all the legal streaming platforms. And you know why. |
| i would rather watch my anime without any watermarks or potential buffers to interrupt by enjoyment. also it's best to watch already aired anime in BD version so that's where piracy comes in handy, no one can possibly buy BD of all animes they watch. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| I like pirates but I could never get into Sid Meier's Pirates for some reason. Luckily for me, Assassin's Creed 4 came out and I had a blast playing it. |
| MEA·MENTVLA·INGENS·EST |
| Why pay for something when you can get it for free? Hell if I could kill you just so I can take your stuff I would do it in a heartbeat so yeah, people who pirate rocks. Beside it's fun to piss off busybodies who get pissed about people pirating like bro, I don't know you so don't preach your ideals to me because I don't care |

| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| I find watching anime by any legal means morally wrong. |
 The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow. |
IMortaI said: the rest of us be livin' the high life, sippin' tea with legit subtitles and buttery smooth streaming. Oh, the adventures ye must have, wrestlin' with low-quality videos and translations that make ye question reality itself. Considering that the pirate sites use lower-quality re-encodes of videos ripped from legal streaming sites for airing anime, the translations are almost always exactly the same. But I don't have anything against those using pirate sites to watch anime and participate in the community, especially those without access to legal options. Although I would advocate for better-quality, more "revenue-neutral" methods like torrents/XDCC/DDL. |
| pirate sites are sh*t. if you're going to pirate, do it properly and torrent/magnet/download it. the only exception may be if you want to watch anime dubbed in a language that you can't find anywhere else. |
| You can buy lossless digital music from your favorite Japanese artists on https://ototoy.jp/. The songs are all DRM-free and you can re-download your purchased albums as you wish. Show your support to your favorite artist if you can! ps. if you are looking for Japanese albums, you have to search it in Japanese (not romaji). Just copy and paste the name. For those who want to learn Japanese through anime Resources for learning the language |

IMortal said: Oh, the adventures ye must have, wrestlin' with low-quality videos... Lmao, OP is such a scrub that he probably thinks we all still watch anime episodes on YouTube in 360p like it's 2007 or something. Wait 'till he finds out that torrent sites with 1080p Bluray-quality rips have been a thing for a looong while; his little mind will be blown lol. |

MadanielFL said: So that contradicts your first statement... Does bilibili stream One Piece and Pokémon? |
ateks said: Although that is unrelated to your first statement MadanielFL said: So that contradicts your first statement... Does bilibili stream One Piece and Pokémon? Yes, They do actually |
|
Not available in my country due to copyright something. Seems like they don't want my money. |
ateks said: Just use VPNNot available in my country due to copyright something. Seems like they don't want my money. Even the free one that I use works |
|
| I'd rather use a piracy site to watch the Pokémon anime since their English dub is trash and they are too cheap to have an official subtitled version. I'd rather not give my money to tpci lol. |
 |
MadanielFL said: ateks said: Just use VPNNot available in my country due to copyright something. Seems like they don't want my money. Even the free one that I use works Nah I'll keep using 9anime and nyaa, it just works™ |
ateks said: So stop lying lmaoNah I'll use 9anime and nyaa, it just works™ "I would gladly pay" bullshit lol |
|
MadanielFL said: ateks said: So stop lying lmaoNah I'll use 9anime and nyaa, it just works™ "I would gladly pay" bullshit lol But bilibili is not usable and doesn't even have all the anime I watch. |
| It's free, you don't even have to pay. It just makes your original statement look all the more false. |
|
| i use it all the time lol, whoopty do big deal |
 |
MadanielFL said: It's free, you don't even have to pay. It just makes your original statement look all the more false. My original statement said usable and bilibili isn't usable without taking extra steps. And if I already have VPN then why should I use bilibili and not just stream Japanese live TV directly (which I'm already doing anyway)? |
ateks said: Then at this point, why not buy blu-rays?MadanielFL said: It's free, you don't even have to pay. It just makes your original statement look all the more false.

| well i think of myself as being pretty alright, soo... |

| People who use pirated sites to watch anime are just smart motherfuckers who know how to get shit for free. Who wants to pay for that shit when you can watch it without spending a dime? Screw those greedy anime studios and streaming platforms trying to milk us for every penny.. I mean, come on, anime is already expensive enough with all the figurines, posters, and Blu-rays we want to buy. So if we can save some cash by streaming it illegally, why the fuck not? It's not like those anime studios are going bankrupt because a few people are watching their shows for free. They're swimming in money anyway.. |
| Because the damn government takes our money instead of giving us money.. we live in a capitalist world where you don't rob banks, banks rob you.. |
