Damn! That's all I got.

Seriously though, this tears me apart. There are legal ways to watch anime online, heck if I remember correctly Shonen Jump Alpha allows you to read manga for free if you get their app. There is also a part of me that says "if you don't make it available to everybody, they will find a way to take it."

So, yeah....

When i buy: [manga, anime, programs, manuals, magazines, music, movies, american/japanese/chinese/korean/ tv shows, Trading cards like MTG,books, ebooks, camrips of theater plays] my friends laugh at me for the same reason...but you know what?

I don't buy everything I download, but I buy everything I LOVE because I want the ultimate quality in presentation, scanlators and anime subbers have a knack for lack of quality in translations but there's stuff that just can't be replaced by a scan, so tell your friends you are a "collector" and any self respected collector put his money where his tastes are...otherwise, you're just a puny guy with a lot of hard drives with tons of Gigabytes of stuff nobody cares to know (unless FBI catches you with Kodomo no jikan, you'll go straight to the can for that)[/quote]
