Well we started to talk about music on this board. I had a thought, how much do HK DVD companies really make?
Figure at 26 episode series costs about $30 (Like Inu Yasha)
1. Cost of Artwork and Gatefold (not much but still enough to consider)
2. Cost of DVDs
3. Effort Subbing (some are trash but Maison Ikkoku was done really good)
After that how much do they really make?
I'll disagree with people who say HKs are perfectly legal. However look at some of the series Doreamon, Najica Blitz Tatic, Tekkaman Blade, and the like. They aren't liscensed, and therefore are no better or worse than fansubs (well legality wise, not translations ^_^).
Also Batz if I could be a pop star, I would jump on it. I wouldn't care how many people called me a sell out, as long as I had enough money to be set for life, I wouldn't care what others would say.
