Legend of Black Heaven is an older series from Pioneer (the former Geneon) dating from around 94. The story conerns an aging rock star going through a midlife...
Fansubbing to the internet is wrong... and hurts the industry. people who support internet downloading illegal anime (US licensed or not) are not real fans. ...
This is awful...I've just started becoming a manga author and still doing my work for the anime generation...I don't want the industries to go out... :( ...
I disagree. I don't think it does hurt the industry (downloading non-US licensed series). If a series is not available in the states, I have no problem with...
Care to explain how it's good for the industry? How does it provide money to it, as that's the only way the industry benefits from its product. ... Care to...
the only way to compare internet downloading to doujinshi is if you create your own anime and animate it and then sub it... and came up with your own stories...
Oh, I think I saw this a long time ago. I think it was the end of the series though, that's all my library has. o_o The VHS has some weird blue face on it with...
... It was true once that additional exposure via fansubs helped the industry by giving the products visibility. Those days are long past, however, as fansub...
... This, to me, seems like a double-edged sword. Essentially, the U.S. companies can't win. Either they license a show that was popular among the fansub...
Wired magazine had an indepth article concerning the doujinshi industry. They state the case better than I. I suggest you read that. Basically, I think it says...
i think your two arguements are different though... doujinshi isnt photo copying manga and giving it away for free... its unique stories using known...
You are right in that the two situations are different. But, they are also the same in that they are both technically copyright violations. I would not...
I'll give you that... but that is a slippery slope arguement. "I don't personally download it if its licensed in the US" Did you know that the Japanese...
If I were the U.S. government, I would say to Japan: "If you're not going to offer some version for sale in the U.S., forget it." I am for copyright...
ok this is not an argument supporting why it is ok to steal the work of Japanese artists. its not even an attempt at a reasonable argument. but I think this is...
If you want to define what I do as stealing, so be it. I will continue to "steal" as long as no version exists here (states). This does not hurt said Japanese...
maybe you should look into international law... if it is an international law that the US supports, such as International Copyright Law... then guess what,...
Well I wasn't going to comment on this, I was just offering it for everyone to read, but you two have forced my hand. 1) Chill out. It is starting to get...
I'm sorry, Jeremy. I didnt mean to make it personal. I tried my best to keep it level. sorry I let it spiral as I did, i tried to keep it from coming to...
1) I'm surprised that you called it personal. I never once said anything that could remotely be construed as such. It was just a spirited discussion. 2) Then...
I'm sorry if you ever thought this was personal. That is the farthest thing from my mind. I would not do such a thing. Kind of amusing, actually. If you...
1) I know its not yet personal. My intent is to prevent this. 2) You are so wrong it is not even funny. Lucas did not announce he was doing Episode 1 in...
This is not "those other boards" this is THIS board. ... thing from my mind. I ... that was "spiralling", ... passionate about this topic, ... on my shelf),...
I'm just trying to make peace now with Jeremy! haha I thought it was a pretty good back and forth. maybe it wasnt so easy to tell from the outside. like I said...
Ok I have to add to this little thing here Lets get to the Main point "Will there ever be a world where people will not want to get stuff for free that there...
True! But I don't care about the porn industry! (well I kinda do, but for different reasons) Im not trying to change everyone's mind... I'm trying to change a...
An amv i just made and got 153 honors from many sites. not youtube. (don't ask i added them all up) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Z7WqR9jMAI Surprising like...
