Full Metal Panic - Fumoffu

I wanted to remain quiet on this issue, but sadly, Vicious? opinion is going to be outnumbered. Too many people's attitude of this entitlement of R1 rips bothers me, too. There are some who brags proudly how they own so many titles of FX "Perfect Collection" or such. If you can't afford R1 and are going to buy R1 rips instead, OK, go buy them. But don't talk about it like it's something to be proud of. It's not!! It's not the practice, but the attitude of people, who act like they are entitled to R1 rips, that annoys us.

There was another person who said sometime ago that he wouldn't trade FX perfect collection for AV titles because R1 rips are worth a lot more than AV's TV rips, therefore it wasn't a fair trade. My take on that is this: whether they are R1 rips or TV rips, bootlegs are bootlegs. They are worth exactly the same. The sellers charge the same price. I would understand if he just said that he doesn't want TV rips, but he ridiculed the other person for even suggesting the trade. This mentality makes me shake my head.

Anyway, if you don't want to spend $20 for a DVD, then buy R1 rips. However, at least, be humble about it. Have some humility. Also, how about trying out some non-R1 ripped titles once a while?

No one is entitled to bootlegs of any kind. It's a privilege.
