Piracy - VGF

t3hDarkness · 11-20-2006, 11:12 PM

A question for ye denizens of VGF's anime board.

Are you a pirate?

Do you buy official Anime and Mangas or do you find and download every scan you can get.

Or are you like the noble pirate that browses the interweb buys what he/she likes.

Depends what anime it is.

t3hDarkness · 11-21-2006, 12:36 AM

So some anime is fine to pirate under special circumstances?

I 'pirate' the vast majority of my entertainment.

There was one that was so great that I had to buy it: Azumanga Daioh manga set.

Ninjas > Pirates.

but to answer the question, I'm an honorable pirate, if I like what I see I'll go out and get the box set.

I'm a pirate in the sense that I buy much of my anime from disreputable HK bootleggers. To be fair, though, I've only ever bought things that hadn't yet been released stateside at the time (like 'One Piece', 'Naruto', and 'Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex' circa 2003).

Thats mostly the case for me.
