By that, I assume, you mean my refusal to believe that each and every member of the forum is fluent in Japanese, can afford to regularly import DVDs and\or has satellite? Mmmm... yea, I guess I'm just that kind of evil ignorant bastard 
Death Note 14 airs. No discussion. Death Note 14 comes out subbed - DISCUSSION. Nah, forget it, how can you trust an ignorant bastard like? 
Oh, by the way, THAT was also discussed in one of the fansub threads back in 2005. There was that... uhm... opinion, that watching satellite TV deprives US companies of potential DVD sales and their own TV ratings. Some people see that as immoral here.
Letter of the law or spirit of the law? Believe me, I know what I'm talking about here - it is legal, due to loopholes and the fact that if you ever try to persecute someone for possession of fansubs or ripped movies\music, you will only be laughed at.
I'm not pointing fingers at anyone here, but let's just for once tone the hypocrisy down a little, eh? Can we reasonably assume that nobody here watches fansubs (except me, who openly admits it)? No, we can't. That doesn't mean that particular users are breaking the law, no, I'm not pointing any fingers. But I'm talking about the ethical part. People watch fansubs, discuss them and then denounce the same fansubs on this forum as illegal, immoral and "stupid and immature". If that's not hypocrisy, then I don't know what is. Oh, wait! I know what *somebody* is going to say - hypocrisy is watching fansubs while knowing that it's technically illegal. Yay?
Point me to where I said everyone here downloads subs - I'll edit it out. |

It doesn't make a bit of difference guys, the stance is inert!

Yes, I don't recall too many people denouncing fansubs as immoral, stupid or immature outright. Many people, the bulk of this forum I'd wager, use fansubs for what are arguably moral or valid purpose. Most of the disgust directed towards those who use fansubs are generally directed towards those who would use them as a means to bypass actually paying for the titles and denying the creators of anime their due.
The rule is simply to reflect the fact that ANN does not wish to support the use of fansubs as an alternative to purchasing anime legally and supporting the industry. |

1) That was in summer '05 2) I rarely remember the (user)names of people I'm not interested in.
And if this show only comes out in, say, portuguese, will you buy that release? That's what I was told to do when I pointed out that for me fansubs were the only way to watch anime. |

This sounds a bit like a fallacy of composition to me. "Some people on the forum said this to me, so the whole forum must believe it."

Sorry, I already stated my case. Your little squabble with the mods have nothing to do with me. |

I have a question.
Q: What if there is an anime that is old and there are no VHS or DVD of but only TV rips? is that illegal? A: Q2: What if there is an anime that you can only find via TV rips and can't buy anymore? and is out of print and can't find used on auction sites throughout the entire world whatsoever? is this also illegal? A: note: When I search for stuff I want and can't find it...I mean I can't find it. I'm good searching sites in different languages too. note 2: most of the time when I buy my imports I usually buy them in sets via yahoo japan to save major money. I go through a company who has a Japanese supplier who does the bidding, etc. |

If you really can't find whatever title it is you're looking for, then download all you want. We can't control what you do outside these forums. This thread is simply a notice to everyone that you can not ask for download links or streaming video sites on this site, period.
Technically, downloading anything without the original owner's consent is copyright infringement and yes, illegal. So that answers both of your questions. Depending on whatever it is you download, the respective governments may or may not care. But usually, they don't, because then they'd have to hunt everyone else down, which is very consuming, both, money and time wise. |

... weren't we just saying that you cant do that? oooo legal places. The answer is no. Also iTunes is not the best way to watch vids. Here is a way to solve the bulk of the dl problems. The companies that make the anime release it subed the same time it airs. They just make you watch some comericals and then you see the whole thing, just like it was on tv. In the US espn did that for march madness once, they got a huge number of people to watch the games on the internet. If this happened most people would watch the animes and the comericals. If you really like the series then sit for 5 min and let them get more money. ahh this probably wasn't the place to put this but I am annoyed and had to let it out. |
