look, import anime is great and all guys. but this cant surprise you.
on one hand, it is illegal and undermines the ability of a creator of a work to profit from it. you can't say that these companies have any right to copy someone elses works without paying them compensation.
on the other hand, we get ripped off so bad on most R1s anyway, it serves the studios right for milking every cent out of anime because they know the fans will buy it nearly regardless of price.
and the comment about bush, this really has nothing to do with him. its about enforcing copyright law. hes just trying to protect the US economy. like he is supposed to.
