Quote by Sherlock Hey!
Well, guess that Europe and the US are diffrent worlds concerning fansubs... maybe it will be the same in a few years, when anime DVSs are as popular and avaliable here... it sure will hurt the business much...
Let's hope ppl realize that supporting anime producers by buying the dvds is important!

Indeed. That is exactly what I'm trying to point out. People must buy the DVDs, if they want anime to continue to exist. Right now at the moment, the damage is seen to be minimal, yes. But imagine in 60 years time or more, the anime industry will or may be corroded by simply piracy and illegal ripped copies.
I am totally 100% aware of the licensing in different nations, yes I am. The USA maybe licensed but Europe and Asia aren't, which means they aren't violating the law, it's the BT seeders that are violating the law should those seeders originate from the USA. But in the long term, even though those nations which haven't the anime licensed, it still spreads the piracy and the the lack of will to purchase the official product since fansubs and illegal rips are more or less the perfect copy, just a few hundred "Kpbs" less and lower audio quality, but those factors are low enough at a compression level to fool the human eye and ear and thus bring optimal quality even at low bitrates.
What they will think is: "Hell, screw the DVDs, who needs to waste hundreds of Euros or US Dollars paying for some crappy English dub* and sleezy casing which I don't need?"

*which yes I do defend along with the original Japanese dubs.

Hehehe, sure thing. It's that which sometimes make people add me to their friendslists or that it makes them avoid or fear me. Some people find me very scary when I talk and intelligent and serious.
On the other side, I'm the bright little Kei-kun with a cute smile ^_^, always available for a fun chat about anime or anything in general. ^_^

Buddied up. ^_^
