since the duties at the customs are really high . So here everyone breaks copyright laws on a daily basis. Almost all media in stores are pirated isos or if it's the newest movie sometimes lowq-mqcams. One time I remember I saw a movie(I think it was spidey 2) almost 2 weeks before it opened in america here's the bombnow: I saw it in the local cinema wtf? Also I sometimes if I go to one of the large pirate dvd stores to stock up on anime I'll see ministers of government in the adult section(lol) or just in the main section so ridiculous.Anyways from an economics point of view I can understand why this is so it results from the main rule in economics that states that their are limited resources and humans have unlimited wants. Many people in the world lack the ability and resources to be able to sustain themselves and have luxuries like manga as well. But they are humans therefore their needs will overpower their means resulting in the whole illegal scene in those places. This doesn't apply to just poor countries because persons in rich countries may have reasons for wanting to have access to materials that they are not willing to forsake other resources for but they still want it or want it at a better price. Simple if there is something of almost similar value for a much cheaper or no price human nature takes over and most will go for the illegal one cause it's simply more beneficial to them regardless if it is not beneficial to the economy.
Of course this needs to change first starting with the first world cause you can't crack down on third world countries when your countries are still doing it
So companies need to make their product more available and at cheaper prices. Lower your profit per item in the poorer countries you'll still make an overall gain and expand your market of course most large companies are too stupid and greedy to think this way so they'll arrest people and ruin lives when they could have solved the problem gradually and make everyone's lives better. Oh and they'll never stop it by using those methods more will just pop up in the other's place 
So for those and more reasons i'm on the fence. If they get their acts together and change the way they do business I may change my answer to yes if they continue their crappy useless methods I say more illegal stuff for everyone and I hope you go bankrupt you greedy pigs. Also this doesn't apply to smaller companies but in a way it does. Not sure

A collector eh? Yeah we've got stores full of collectibles from who knows where the hell they were made but the prices lead me to believe they weren't made in an official factory if you know what i mean
