Goddamnit. I'm starting to think I haven't explained this before. I mean, if I'd explained why I used such a far-reaching and extreme example in a previous post, and you've said you read the whole thread, you'd have to be retarded to keep asking that question. So now we're resorting to name-calling...

I'm starting to question your "but it's just an example" routine. You've pulled this comparsion at least three or four times now and been told why it's a poor comparsion to make in this context(and yes, I have read the thread). Really, do you not see how loaded and inflammatory the argueme...

Two words: "human slavery". Now I have to call foul on this. You've been called on at least three or four times now why comparing slavery to copyright laws is just plain appalling. As I've said before, this shows an utter lack of judgement and perceptive on your part. I now have to wonder...

I don't want to define morality (that's kind of the point). I want people to look at the situation from a standpoint of ethics; is this action ethical? is this action so wrong that it should be forbidden? If I try and explain what "morality" is, I'd be missing the point. Morality is diffe...

Well, I'll try to restore a little dignity to this thread. Can I make a suggestion ? Why doesn't someone with the DragonBox and with FUNimation DVDs, rip small clips from an episode with high quality (the same among both episodes), preferably during a fight between Super Saiya-jins ? It would be per...

Re: exhibition A commerical release of a product(be it music or movie) is meant for private home viewing(just look at the FBI warning that pops up when the video starts, or at the back of the box where all the credit and legal information is). That means it's meant to be viewed only in the privatiy ...

Just a comparison, repeat: just a comparison. And, I said nothing about human rights. I repeatedly mentioned consumer rights. You were talking about slavery as a business model compared to filesharing. It's flat-out wrong, inappropriate, and shows a lack of taste and perceptive on your part (if it'...

Unless I'm mistaken on that everyone here knows the facts, and as I said YES the Toei discs are technically superior in quality. But they also lack subtitles. I'm not sure the lack of subtitles should even be an issue. It strikes me the same as saying that American dvds don't have Germen or Russian...

Take slavery. Slavery was a great economic business standard. Any business that employed (as in 'make use of', not 'pay') slaves seemed to do better than those that didn't. When it became illegal, many businesses went under. Those that didn't had to change their business practices. It was difficult...

And cancelling a production because of low interest is not indicitive of 'piracy'. Certainly not. But copying and distributing without the company's permission is piracy. Cancellation from low profit is one thing. Cancellation due to piracy is another. No one is saying, or has ever said that captia...

I'll make this very clear: I never meant that companies should produce a product that noone buys, that would be crazy. They should make a product that people will buy. If people have the option of downloading said product for free, then the only ones who will pay for it will be the ones who truly w...

And in capitalism, if there's no money to be made--or worse yet, money to be wasted away, then the company will not bother putting out a product. If filesharing goes out of control(I will not contest "how far" it is yet one way or the other), then products will stop being made since "...

But you go a step further and say that they not only "do not gain money" but they "lose money". This is not simply ignorance, this is directed misinformation. How does downloading a movie "lose" money for anyone? If I download it twice, do they lose more money? It seem...

Now that I doubt will ever happen, considering the series' age. Nonsense, considering that anime older than Dr. Slump are getting DVD releases. And I doubt you could rake in anybody on "FROM THE CREATOR OF DRAGONBALL!!" alone nowadays. :/ Well, Viz does that "from the creator of Inuy...

Errrrrrrrrrrrrmmm... getting all the manga volume and the entire run of GT on DVD, I guess would count as "achievements". There isn't much I try to "achieve" as far as Dragonball is concerned. About the only other thing I'm shooting for is getting the DVD box sets when they come ...

Wow, first Hirotaki Suzuoki passed on not too long ago, and now this. May he rest in peace, and his roles remembered for years to come. EDIT, just looked at the animenewsnetwork link, like Suzuoki, this guy was in first Gundam. It's kinda neat to see those sort of cross-connections. He was also Kunz...

Movie 4 struck me as pretty much just "ok". Slug is a rip-off of Piccolo Daimao, but all the movie plots are hack jobs anyhow (not to diss the films or anything, but it's pretty obvious that they're not created with "artisitc intent"). So the only real problem here is that it's m...

And that there are customers who pay the retail price of $24.95 per volume may want them? But... who actually pays $24.95 for the DVDs? Best Buy and most other places offers only $16 for the DVDs. Walmart has this movie for a dirt-cheap $11. So... again, who are these people that actually pay $25 f...

Garlic Jr: already has a saga. :P Dr. Willow: eh, they were ok for an hour-long movie, but not enough for a whole saga. Tullace: I would've like to know more about his backstory and such, so maybe something can be used there. Slug: well, we kinda already got that with Piccolo Daimao. :P Coola: well,...

Why on Earth would Toriyama-sensei plant this "detail" in Volume 2 only to reject it in Volume 12? So that he could kill off Roshi. This detail made it impossible(at least in his view) to kill off Roshi, so he had to "undo" it. Of course, I can't state what he actually thought, ...
