Ethics and bootlegging [SPLIT]

[TallonKarrde23]

wtf is wrong with all you people. Bootlegs are perfectly fine...well the ones i get. Everyone just seems to get unlucky i guess....every one i get has

- perfect audio (dub AND sub)
- perfectly fine subbing
- perfect picture quality
- comes with the whole show (when its supposed to)
- Never has any glitches or mess ups
- Extras
- Is less costly and nicely fit in small places

Ive yet to buy A single bootleg that has any difference froM the officiAls (yeah ive actually maDe sUre of that by watching the official and the bootleg of several shows and coMpairing) other then Being less expensive And nicer. So Stop acting like bootlegs are so baD, just stOp buyiNg The crappy ones..Like I Said, ive yeT to sEe for myself a "bad" bootleg that is aNything less then the official in quality or extra's. but I GUESS It JUST haS to do with being lUCKy

sure there are great bootlegs out there. ones that are as good as any offical dvd. and they are much cheeper but its still wrong. if ppl stop buying the offical stuff anime will cease to exist

There are also some bootlegs that are the only way to get things. Some otherwise reputable stores (case in point being Wizzywig) carry bootleg soundtracks. Of course, it should be noted that they carry all the official soundtracks, but still...

Oh, and whoever did that job on Karrde's post is a genius!

nowhere does it say you cannot support the chinese mafia, its not against the rules, so deal.

I can see why people hate bootlegs, and I avoid them, but boycotting a site with bootlegs and domestics is stupid. Where do you think they get the legit stuff? They have to buy it, thus money gets back to the creators, etc. It's just an honor code thing with, you know, that one site that they said up there with the stars...

<.<

I will still compare it to boycotting a Wal-Mart because an employee there sells drugs. Even if it were the manager, it wouldn't matter. I'm not buying the drugs, so the other merchandise is fair game, in my opinion.

* If the series is spread across half as many discs as normally found at retail (say, 3 for a 26-ep TV series as opposed to 6), it is likely not to be legitimate

That isn't necessarely true. I bought the whole Berserk series boxset containing 3 DVD's. There is no problem with them nor do I think it's a bootleg. The DVD's space is over 7GB (opposed to the 4GB ones). Plus.......it's progressive . Yeah baby!
