even if all you did was buy dvd's the profit would not be going to the anime companies who made them, they would be going to the western countries who have bought the rights to sell them here unless you order them from japan i guess. I believe that the anime companies look at it as a possitive thing as it helps bring anime to the west and helps sell other merchandise.

Well, selling licenses for millions of dollars also helps keep the Japanese anime studios in the black ink, you can't deny that. It's also worth noting that Japanese anime companies are the ones who have to pay for the right to broadcast on television, as opposed to America where tv networks are the ones who pay the studios and production companies in order to air shows.

As far as downloading being bad, I've answered this before earlier in this thread, but I thought of something new. It's not as bad to download since not all series will ever be available to purchase here in America anyway. Series like Air and Futakoi probably won't reach this side of the world, so I guess this is our only way of seeing them. However, if a series is available here, you have no right to be downloading here. If you whine that you don't have any money, get a job!! Downloading one or two episodes of series you're not sure about may be alright as a free trial, but if you watch it the whole way through, you've lost that excuse. Support your favorite series!!

Only way for me to get anime is to dl it. Or i could order DVDs abroad but I couldn't possibly afford it. So I don't think dling anime is that bad.

dling anime is a lot cheaper. Even though sometimes you COULD get viruses from them but it's all good right? I know it's bad but who cares... I still do all the downloading anyways. Whose going to stop me.
