Fansubs again

Postby wiggins » Mon Jan 05, 2004 3:12 am

Hi! Just felt like telling everyone...
Some of you now I had a dilemma/ problem with continuing with the downloading of fansubs a while back. My stance changed back then to no more downloading fansubs irregardless. I would only buy DVDs. If it was not licensed, I would get it from Hong Kong, i.e. bootlegs. I was chatting to a friend recently, and he made it crystal clear I was deluding myself. So I worried about fansubs again and took another look at CAA's fansub threads. Once again my stance has changed. Now, I will not download any licensed anime or manga,but unlicensed manga and anime I shall download as much as I like until they become licensed, or the series ends. I hope this decision is right. One thing that really influenced this decision which I hope is right, is that on one of the CAA threads, someone had a post saying that copyrights are country-specific. Therefore, since I do not live in Japan, but in London where few animes and mangas are licensed, I should be able to download lots of anime. (^_^) However, as I said before, I will stop if the series is licensed and wait until the company comes out with the episodes after the episode that I stopped downloading on. I hope this is the right decision... If you disagree, please tell me why. Maybe my stance will change once again... Yay! I can download again!

Wise decision. Watching fansubs and buying HK DVD's of liscensed anime only make others who buy the real stuff to pay higher prices, and hurt the company's that liscense them.
