FX busted?

Bullshit, sure more money will go to the R1 companies but I can't spend anymore then I already do on HK sets. So we'll all be getting 90% less anime for the same price and if more anime comes to the U.S. WTF hell do I care when I can't fucking afford it?

I will buy from MI, MAC, a fucking bum on the street before I start wasting money on R1, if I know I can get more anime vs. 90% less "very slightly" higher quality R1 anime > I WILL GO FOR MORE ANIME! Hell I'll buy a DVD recorder, quit buying anime, just rent and record!! I know it's inconsiderate of all the hard work R1 companies put into it ect, but there are rich dipshits out there who have enough money to afford 78 anime series (my current collection) on R1 which retails to about ... $18,000+ and I have about 100 more anime series to add to my collection just to "catch up" with stuff as it's releasing.

The inevitable truth is... people that can't afford anime on R1 right now will NEVER switch to R1 if they are smart and conservative because there is ALWAYS other ways to obtain the anime for very low cost whether it be dish network PVR recorder, renting and ripping, or buying used R1, I will find it and abuse it until my anime needs are fulfilled which will never happen

~Anime is perspective on all angles of life, Anime is the greatest philosphy of all time compiled together, Anime is absolute truth > To know anime is to know all, which is the key to peace~

Anime should be free! And as long as it isn't this world will run itself to it's own end! LONG LIVE ANIME!

No, junior, the "inevitable truth" is that you don't -need- to own 78 series of anime on DVD, and if you can afford to buy 78 HK series on DVD, then you could have afforded to own about 20-30 R1 sets, and actually done the industry some good.

If the HK scene ever got so out of control that the R1 translators/distributors couldn't keep themselves afloat, they wouldn't make the subs/dubs that all the HK companies rip and sell, so you'd be stuck with no dubs, horrible subtitles, or at best fansubs. Even the legitimate fansub groups know to stop subbing and distributing a show as soon as it gets picked up for North American distribution. They do it for the love of anime, not for the love of screwing over the R1 companies that don't charge anything they shouldn't be.

I'm not going to go through my list of expenses an R1 company has to go through to bring a foreign show to us in a presentable way again... as I'm sure you're far to dim to grasp it anyways. By your post its clear that you have a very simple view of the world, and the way it works.
