HHH mmm i beleave you shouldn't be talking about josh or anything personal on here you can pm me for that the issue at hand here is anime being priated and most who are doing it with no excuses its not right at all and we can sit here and make up one lame excuses after another but we are only fooling our selves and i fellow anime peer's. Now you have chances to get anime but you buy other things instead so dont go saying you have no choice but to go to josh for illegaly obtained anime just admit your not whanted to spend much and what not and just try not to do it lieing about it is only making you worse.

I've bought a few series, and downloaded a few too.

I don't have enough disposable income to buy all the anime I want!

Don't you think that you should start saving? Unlike LichGRIFFIN, you've got the opportunity to seize actual anime, you're in an area that doesn't cut you off from retail shops; typically goin' pirate is something you should do when you have absolutely no other alternative.

If I can't buy it, I don't watch it. January was the one and only month I spent downloading and watching fansubs in my lifetime as an otaku. I DID, however, used to pirate VHS tapes like all the time, growing up. But that was before I grew a sense of ethics and actually paid attention to all the FBI warnings on tapes.

I feel like there are too many ways to get anime the legal way for people to just watch fansubs on a constant basis. Hell, I can get anime the legal way for FREE, sometimes. I can't keep it, but I can watch it on demand. Yay for cable!! It's Comcastic!!

ty some one who has put it in better words realy atomic you couldn't be more right and i respect your answer. You only go pirate if your in the middle of no where with like no income and no resourses like lich and thats it other then that there is no excuse in the world besides that to do it and if you think of it you might as well be a anime-murder when you do it other wise because you killing the anime industry by stealing from them.
