anime and manga used to be a bunch of simple pile of books and videos
just read and tossed in the streets and stores... now
its one of the biggest comic to be in market and spread
across the world, and one of the biggest in pirated material
on the world wide web, and even on streets or currupted stores.

i mean, i'm pretty sure the government knows about it all
including bittorent, and irc related stuff... considering i see
many online articles wrote about em, and how whenever
i meet another peer anime/manga fan , our common sources always tend
to mention bittorent/irc... if that much people know about it
im pretty sure the government knows about it too, considering
the sharing of these piracy has been dramatically risen, i know they're not stupid...

i heard on the recent news the japanese government is
recently seriously asking the US governments to take
down these illegal japanese products... i don't blame them though
considering the fact they are losing money significantly.. though
holding of pirated material in japan is a erious crime from what i know,
looooong time in prison, lol... though in america, by law the act of
piracy is quite big too, just that nowadays its just unspokenly been
less significant of a matter from peers i assume? same concept as
amsterdam, cocaine is illegal there and a punishable by captivation
law, just that it is lessened by peers.


also ive been hearing lolicon and shotacon is in big argument of
if it should be considered and treated as real child porn
heheheh it would suck for some people

What...what is the point of this thread? There was no point to the OP even after I spent five minutes piecing the English into legible form and all that.

Can it be a noise thread please?!

I declare noise thread conversion starting...NOW!
(I also declare that I am able to do this, even if I am, in fact, not)

I've been a little nervous after hearing Japan's request to the US. I'm down to watching only Naruto (not much time to watch more anime) and I get nervous downloading it off bittorrent since your IP is broadcasted. The US might take action since US companies are losing too. If something is found on the web translated into English for free, people aren't likely to buy it.

There's a thread already about this *somewhere* on the forum (I tried looking, but I suck at finding stuff...) It even has one of the news articles about the subject
