I don't frown upon this as much as say...shoplifting, but aren't these technically illegal in our country? (shrug) I know on the "Heads up" forum, the moderators take down HK DVD deals. Again, I'm not too sure and I myself have debated HK DVDs for AMV source on shows that aren't out here.

*flicks his finger and watches the whole line fall down and the one dominoe to the side still standing*

Big corporations like suncoast and the like it doesn't even effect them, they make so mucy senseless profit off of advertising for magazines, selling toys and overcharging pornos,

Uhm...first off I don't even think your "plan" even demands a reply since it's preposterous and lacks any sort of logical thought. Argh! I just replied about it! D'oh!

I once again ask how being a big corporation justifies you being allowed to rip them out of their money. They're a big company because they did good business and people bought products from them. They expanded upon this success and so on. Just because they're an efficient business doesn't mean you're allowed to steal from them.

Do smarter people kill stupider people because they're...stupid? Sounds pretty preposterous right? Just like your argument. You're essentially justifying it because they're big corporations, just like someone could murder a retarded person and say "well...they were retarded, they weren't going to do anything useful" (by no means do I believe this).

It's like that episode of "Seinfeld" where Kramer convinces Jerry to commit mail fraud with his stereo.

"They just write it off!"

Please refer to the part about "we could say the same thing about murdering just one person too right?" What makes you so special that you are the exception? The one who can steal and screw the rest of us over. There are thousands of people like you and it accumulates into higher prices for the rest of us. If you like anime, it's almost inherent that you want to support. I question how much you truly love anime when your actions are really just hurting the industry you love.

but then what about the murdering one person? who says its wrong to kill, bring the overpopulation of DVD's fact in, theres too many in stores, to few in homes, we NEED TO GIVE THESE DVD's HOMES!!! Donate to the BDVD Fund!!! to arrange organized DVD crime (j/k) but no one dvd, hell 10 probably wouldn't affect a store "GREATLY" 100 no, 1000 DVD's from suncoast wouldn't dent their profit still

As again, who's to decide killing isn't wrong, tests have been done on rats, when in high concentrations (metropolis) they tend to kill one another, i'm guessing for the same reason other's do, they get sick of people as rats get sick of themselves, not saying DVD's get sick of one another and kill but overpopulation is a current day problem witch branches off into other problems,

what i'm saying is basically no one person has the right to judge your life, aka judge, ok with this being understood

who has the right to justify killing as right or wrong? there is none it's different in lots of people's minds

and on the way people are using the phrase Stealing = Downloading, Ripping and converting = stealing to in the corporation's eyes, bring your music vid to funimation and get licensing information, i'm guessing they'll sue being they took my website down temporarily due to that reason that i used "OTHERS" music and "OTHERS" video

OTHERS = something i myself or any group related to me made from scratch, instead of ripping/stealing a dvd

v3n0m, shut the hell up, and remove that fucking stupid line about hosting from your sig. I have about 15 music videos I've made in the course of about 6 months, none of them any good (well....cept for my remade "Evangelion: Nothing Else Matters" one, I'm quite proud of that one) do you hear me begging for hosting? NO!! Okay, so I'll have hosting in like a week or two, but it's costing me!! well, thats a total lie, my friend has heaps of unused bandwidth he's giving to me but thats not my point!) No-one is going to give you free hosting no matter how hard you beg and how long you try (wait...is that supposed to be how hard you try and how long you beg...ah fuckit.)

1000 DVDs at $30.00 = $30,000. This equates to someone's salary. Stealing doesn't effect anyone? Tell that to the person who's job that coud've been.

D-O-N-U-T or if you've already donated, the Dangling Carrot. It's taken a significant dent out of my bandwidth for the month. Yay!
