There's one fatal flaw in your argument: Noone finds out about the HK sites until after they're already into anime. Most people including you, found out about HK's after you had already purchased some R1's. Most people stumble onto HK sites by accident. So the people buying HK's aren't necessarily new to anime.
Guess Tsukiko and I aren't most people... but then we knew that... *laugh* We bought HK's first... Sailor Moon movies, R1 rips... course I've traded and replaced them with R1's.. because Tsukiko is a Sailor Moon Addict... and yes, she bought those R1 box sets that were $150 a set... and I thought I was doing good to get the 2nd set for $100... shoot, Right Stuf has them for $50 a set... going fast... *laugh* She still has the HK's for the S series and Stars... which will probably never be released in R1's anyway.... *laugh* Course she has all the manga too... and almost all the dolls... except for the outer senshi's.... plus 2 sets of poker playing cards... stationary, star locket, wand, and an alarm clock, key chain... watch... well you get the point... *laugh*
Now you want R1 poor management? Try Figure 17, 6 disks, 13 episodes, $120... the 3rd disk has a recap of the first 3 episodes, the 4th and 5th disks are only 60 minutes long... yeah, I bought it all.. and traded it... figured I'd get my money's worth out of it that way... *laugh*
Want HK same deal? Try Spiral, 3 disks, could only get the 3rd disk if you bought the entire box set... so what were we supposed to do with the first 2 disks we'd already bought as they came out?? Suppose we could of traded them... but who wants an incomplete set? Thank goodness for fansubs or I'd still be waiting to see that last disk!! *laugh*
