Subject: Re: [FFML] Selling Fansubbed Tapes [Spam, but important]

Why whine about it at all? The way I see it, these people who sell/rent
fansubs for money is doing us a favor, by making the anime easier to get.
Perhaps someone can't find someone to trade with for a certain anime, the
bootleggers may be just what they need. Besides, $15 for 4 episodes isn't
bad if you look at the price Viz Video charges (something like $25 for 2
episodes).

Bootleggers may be just what they need? Are you on crack? Bootleggers may
give easier access to fansubs but the quality is generally bad, the
translations are always off and its way too expensive. I can get 12+
episodes for $20, and they'll last much longer, look better, be better
translated. Trades aren't the only way to recieve fansubs. Its called
"request" It only takes a money order and a stamp. Now, you tell me, which
would you rather. Subbed copies from LD or subbed copies from TV?
