I said it before. I support everyone. Everyone can't be saintlike. If they could, they'd all join FDD-Toku and we'd be done subbing all of Toku by next month.
But that's not the case, so the only thing you're doing by keeping that thing in your sig is offending/insult (or borderline flame) people.
I'm not flaming, I'm just telling the truth:
- the people I quote as bootleggers are bootleggers. They don't try to hide it, they openly advertise their products.
- the people I quote as bootleg supporters are all people that jumped to the defense of a bootlegger.
The rest of my sig is just my way of showing how I feel about bootleggers in general.

Come on. Tokyo-Nights? What's easier? Tossing Knight 30 bucks or going there and posting 600 times (or however many it is) to get enough "points" to pay for a single ep? Don't kid yourself. Let's not forget that: A.) ALL of this is bootlegging, downloading or selling, so technically that makes everyone here a parasite (think about that
), and B.) These are people that would rather download or buy a bootlegged copy than get an official one, but basically they want what's easiest and cheapest. So if mustering up 30 measly dollars is easier than dealing with T-N's retarded system, guess what happens? No one's complaining about your speed. No one ever complained and if they did you should do what everyone else does and ignore them. Sorta like what you should do if someone makes a "rude" request, or whatever.
It takes 2 posts to get enough credits to download one episode. At the rate I can upload episodes, that is not an insurmountable thing to do. Look at how many posts you've already put here! With the number of posts you have here, you could download 1.000 episodes. I don't think I can even upload that much.
A) There is a difference between my uploads and bootleggers:
- bootleggers make a profit, I don't (in fact, uploading is costing me money)
- bootleggers sell anything, whether it's available or not. They don't have any morals at all.
- I only upload episodes that have not been released on official DVD's and as such are impossible to get by for fans outside Japan. As soon as the official DVD's are out, I would take down the uploads.
- I also upload DVDrips from my DVD's, but never entire series. I only do a few episodes per series so people can sample before they buy, which I think is understandable considering the high cost of official DVD's
- I upload TV programs that have never been released on DVD, that were only broadcasted on Japanese TV.
B) I DID upload here on the forum and my uploads were available to all. Then people felt the need to jump to the defense of bootleggers. Considering my past experiences with bootleggers, I decided to protect my uploads. If you want to complain, complain to the bootleggers and their supporters, not me. They are the responsible ones.
And finally, I can't be held responsible for the fact that some fans are too lazy to download or too cheap to buy official ones. Their choice, not mine! I think I've already given more to the community than many others and frankly it's not fun to always have to defend or explain my actions while bootleggers are carried on a silver platter while they're filling their pockets.
Perhaps a mod can split up this discussion as I'm afraid we're going off topic here.
I'm sorry but there are a few of us here who will not support such endevours if they work comes from HK bootlegs and of course there are those here who are hardcore TVNers. So no, he and his group won't have "all our support.
