FX busted?

[Vicious]

I'm not an elitist or anything, that's just what I do personally... and just don't sympathize with the whole "If they made it more affordable I'd buy all R1's" argument, or the "if I won the lottery I'd buy legal anime". If they charged $10 or $12 for an R1 anime DVD, the HKs would go to $4 a disc... and a lot of people would just go for whatever is cheapest, no matter how completely reasonable the prices legitimate companies charge for the anime that they translate, dub, package, and bring to North American shores legally... only to have their hard work stolen and undercut by HKs.

That's exactly how I feel. I hate it when people say 'if they made it more affordable I'd . . . ' argument. I would love to drive a Ferrari and if they made it more affordable, I'd buy one, but in the meantime I'm not going to go and steal one. I'll be happy with a Honda or whatever. for now and if I ever have the money, I'll get me a Ferarri.

I know this is a very unpopular opinion here, but sometimes I wish they'd just bust all the HK companies so I could see what certain people do in terms of their buying habits. I'll give you 5 to 1 odds, that most of the people that say 'I wouldn't buy anime anymore' or 'I cna't afford it' would find a way to afford it.

Like my roommate for example. She 'can't afford' to buy R1's, yet she can afford to take a vacation to Florida for a week? Get real. I guarantee you that she;d be buying R1's with that money and skipping the trips if there were no fansubs or HK's.
