I think it's not really a big deal...if no one downloadz than there isn't really a point of having so many places to download from. Everyone does it. If u think it's wronge than u don't have to do it.

I dont usually download anime myself and i usually buy mine - i like em in their package XD Im not against downloading anime or anything but i guess it is pretty damaging to the anime production industry.. but then again, everyone downloads it just like music ^^"

Dling anime is almost only source for me. I buy some manga but the selection outside of Japan and U.S. is quite bad. I'm underaged so I can't buy it from the internet either.

I have bought a lot on dvd, but i have also DL a lot i cannot see how down loading would hurt anime too much. I have read books about anime and its developement and know that the only market Japan targets is the Japanese. They may sell the rights to distribute the show internationally, but the only companies which would be getting hurt would usually be American.

I dont think so... There are lots of countries where only few animes are aired and sell few cds (or even none at all).

I buy anime quiet alot but i also download a fair bit. But most of the ones i download are the types that you cant find in shops that aren't either english subbed or dubbed for sale.

I don't think I'm doing something bad... I download manga and anime every week, but I never think of it as "bad".
If I couldn't download it, I wouldn't read or watch any at all... cause I don't bother ordering from another country, and everywhere they're slow on the releases.
At least now they've begun selling manga where I live, and I buy some of the mangas I'm reading or have read on my computer. (though they're selling mangas here, translation still sucks)

I think that if no-one downloaded anime/manga, then there would be less fans, end even less poeple buying the actual anime/mangas.

I download anime because I don't want to wait a year or two for it to get licensed and made available on DVD. I often do buy the DVDs when they become available.

I definately have no guilt for downloading fan-subbed, unlicensed animes.
