Out of personal curiosity, how far does this go for you? Would you download (without paying for)

- an old film (the Maltese Falcon, Wizard of Oz, Wings [1927 silent film])

- a really bad film (Santa Claus Conquers the Martians)

- something you already own but don't have access to at the moment

- anime

- none of the above?

>- anime

Are you expecting they might have some beef with Japan in particular?

Perhaps I should have generalized to "cartoons", or whatever watch-once fluff you might spend an hour or four a week on.

When buying isnt owning, then piracy is ethical.

Its gone too fucking long towards extreme copyright and gimmee programs like the DMCA. Piracy is that counteracting force.

Pirate it all. No other lever can make these companies correct.

>>argiop+(OP)
None of the above.

If I want to watch an old film, a bad film, or an old bad film, I pay for it or I don’t watch it.

I’ve bought films on Amazon rather than get off my butt to put the DVD in the player. So you can guess that if I don’t have access to it at the moment that I’ll pay for it. I bought the DVD, I didn’t buy the right to download the movie (unless it was one of those DVDs with a download code included).

I have 0 interest in anime.

Thanks for taking the time to reply and satisfy my mostly aimless curiosity. As mentioned in a sibling, I probably should have gone with "cartoons" or "drivel" or similar for that category, but "anime" is my particular bias for that category of time waster
