@vaden

It’s not solely about piracy. They are complaining about how westerners mostly pirate stuff and buy very little. I’m sure they pirate too, but who’s anime industry has shrunk the most?

  @NeverSleep They’re not talking about killing markets, they are talking about the absurdity of people trying to justify an illegal act – which fansubbing is.

  Anime companies have become choosy nowadays, since in the past, they flooded the market with whatever they could get their hands on yet very few actually sold well enough and money was lost.

  Correction: REST OF THE WORLD: -Recent anime are not availabe on TV <— due to less faith in the commercial viability of TV anime. – You can download what's available on torrents with lesser quality to rewatch later, as many times as you want. No denying that people do this.- Free widely available product lessens it's commercial viabiltiy. – You're NOT SURE that the episodes will be made available, since the people making the episodes available are NOT pros. <— No clue …

  Impressive article. I guess I didn’t miss anything by missing out on the livestream. This does seem like a lackluster “reveal” since there isn’t anything I am interested in. But what a shocker, there’s going to be another FF – I so called it.
