Who's arguing? I was not aware that stating my distaste for a shipping fee and comparing it to other stores I have shopped in constituted arguing. And I am not arguing in any case with Junkie Joe. This is a forum. The discussion is with anyone who wants to participate. Junkie Joe seems to be posting a lot in this thread, but that doesn't mean we're arguing. jeez. You people need to simmer down, and stop taking offense to everything.
Also, Terrex, just because people on another site don't complain doesn't mean I shouldn't. And some of us aren't so rich that we can afford to buy many dvds at once.
And yes, I am grateful to all pirate distributors dor getting to product out there at a better price than the non-pirate product (well, duh, I mean that's the whole point of pirate dvds, isn't it?) but I also keep in mind that the nature of the pirate anime industry is that the dvds are copied and translated and put together for next to nothing, many cases very little care or expense was put into it, and the distributors sell the product for huge profit percentages. I am grateful, but I do realise that Import Anime is making a nice sized profit and isn't doing this out of the kindness of their hearts. That's the nature of the industry.

Let's be rid of it, once and for all! I can't carry it for you, Mister Frodo, but I can carry you!
