FX busted?

It's not like I really have a moral thing against it or anything. It just bothers me when people say 'I can't' when they really mean to say 'I don't want to' or 'I choose not to'. Or when people try to lay the blame on others for things they can't afford. Anime is not a necessity. But if you want the DVD's that bad, you could work harder, work more hours, not go on vacations, not buy that new pair of shoes. You choose to make those decisions.

...and at least acknowledge, that where North American anime companies are now, is in a completely reasonable place based on the costs involved with westernizing the distribution of a foreign series.

I would also like to see what happened if the quality of HKs dropped -enormously-, or if they actually managed to shut the bulk of them down. I wouldn't feel bad, because I know that the smarter entrepeneurs like JJ would be able to transition into the legitimate stuff... I know of more than a couple Canadian anime dealers on Ebay that compete with the Amazon sites in terms of price on legitimate anime, and make a decent living at it. It would be nice to see more of that, and to see more business move their way, as well.
