It is and always will be, this is one of the few "modern phrases" that I never tire of hearing because it is still real and relevant today. But unfortunately, as long as megacorporations are whatever they are and people have this "capitalist" fear of piracy, things will not change and will only tend to get worse!
I agree, but as long as corporations like YouTube, Nintendo and Hollywood exist and people have this "normal" mentality, they will hardly be willing to be truly educated about it.
As I said in a previous post, people are afraid of pirating, so they prefer higher prices if it is a "safe" method.
Why can't I have confidence when they say they will try to make access "free"? I don't know why but this smells like something similar to what they do with "free games" on cell phones
Any news like this always hurts as much as being hit by a truck, but the ones about anime sites being taken down are the ones that make me the saddest. I will always hate the monopoly that Crunchyroll has established and I'm afraid that one day it will "win" and that all the other sites will end up having the same fate. Why is piracy involving anime is the one that suffers the most?
Because they will always have people who support them, regardless of how mean they are, as long as there are people afraid of "pirating" this will never change.
I feel this way about Anime/Manga piracy, even if it doesn't disappear, Japan and the DMCA will do everything they can to weaken it even more over the years, and the fall of 9anime only makes this nightmare more real every day.
