Welcome to a civilised discussion on a topic that personally most of us (as stereotypical Otakus) hate with a passion. Bootleged products.
Where do you stand on bootleg/counterfeit products?
About two or three years ago I received the whole 'Sailor Moon' collection on DVD (including the movies) for Christmas from my mother. I had no idea what a bootleg was and neither did she, but we both love 'Sailor Moon' so yeah. Of course those box sets are bootlegged copies, but being in Australia, it's hard enough to get anime' as it is little own rare, in high demand anime' such as the 'Sailor Moon' collection.
So is it bad that I feel nothing towards the fact I own fraud merchandise?
I now own lots more bootlegged anime' and fraud merchandise (actually most of these were because I thought they were authentic).
I do plan in the future on obtaining the real authentic and licensed versions, but as I'm still young and immature (enough) for terrible things to happen to those, I feel it is best I have these 'bad quality' versions.
"You get what you pay for." And we all know whole seasons of legitimate, licensed anime' aren't cheap.
Do you own any?
