Let's fight piracy!!!
People outside japan can buy the 1000000 mangas available? We have a way to translate this many mangas? Do we have a fucking online service that doesn't suck a lot? People have any hope to read legally that one random obscure manga that doesn't even exist anymore beside some random piracy site? But we gonna fight piracy anyway!!!
This kinda o shit + nintendo + sony fills my hatred for Japanese companies, more bullshit and I'll become more powerful in the dark side than Palpatine.
~~Hey hey now. Don't hate the companies themselves. They're playing the legal game in the exact, only way the rules allow it to be played. If they don't, the law and the shareholders fuck them up instead.~~
Edit: I guess tone is hard to convey through text, so let me be clear:
Companies bad.
But also:
Just hate the copyright law itself, directly. Its only reason for existence is so rich fucks get richer, safer, and should be just abolished.
(45 minute video by Uniquenameosaurus, who also has done an incredible series of videos on the practical ethics of media piracy, with a focus on anime as a jumping off point).
companies should please share holders and share holders should profit from their shares as much as possible, the whole cycle is fucked when one of them becomes greedier.
I like this logic, lets all become shareholders.
if only we had enough money. even if we do, more the material posses, more the greed will eat the man.
