Lynk, those people can suck my nuts.

IF ONLY our opinions and ideas were implemented,...

I wish I could say that a better idea is to take the product, 'offically' release such product in a low quality series. Make one series with the original language audio, then another with an offical english dub. Both with limited content, ie nothing special to give, maybe sub titles included (maybe). low quality audio. maybe mono or limited stereo

Solves:
1) low quality saves money on web servers for reduced size.
2) cribs the normal trend for people to ransack and bootleg their own fansub, even by a little becuase it's an offical copy.

problems:
1) money is spent on bandwidth and hosting
2) doesnt stop the bootleg fansub trend altogether

NEXT make promise that if one purchases the actual anime, they get all the features one can normally get from buying.

Solves:
1) No shit about the DVD's they already give it out, but if anyone doesnt relise that DVD's typically carry both the English and Japaneese audio cuts, and the surround sound (for those who love it)
2) The realization for legitimised work. of course the companies are going to have to emphisise this point, because those animators, the voice actors (in any language that gets recorded), the producers, etc etc. dont work for free And alot of people seem to forget about that

People seem to forget that in order to make those music albums, anime, tv shows. it's not cheap. sry to sound pro-riaa on the subject but honestly it's true. I mean I'm I not going to say that I dont have my own music? my own movies and anime downloaded?

Yeah I do have em.
but does that mean I dont have well over a thousand dollars worth of anime in a locker down in berthing? if not 2 or 3?
And at least 500-600 dollars worth of movies in a binder also next to the anime one?
software?
Music?

list goes on.

Lynk I damn well know that you've got at least 8 or 9 thousand USD on a shelf, i've seen pictures, it's happened!!

[b]Back[/i] to my rant:
After you release the [i]legit/i] product. do more for that.
shit, I wonder how meny versions of cowboy bebop you can get now-a-days.
there is a box set on there that costs at least 300usd on amazon. I go 'wtf'
but still if thats what someone wants. sell it.

again, i use the term 'product' cus I dont generically mean 'anime', just stuff in general that the industry produces. But yet again, why push for it all, i'm not the one who gets paid the 'big bucks'...
*grumble*
