I also only spend around £100 a month on anime. It is my only vice(apart from partying and drinking). There are people on here who spend so much more on gaming and music cd's....oh, and your comparison with owen misses one thing. I have never boasted about my buying habits or the size of my collection compared to your guys 'collections'.

 

You spend more on Anime in a month than I spent on everything in 2005 :p

I don't really understand the fuss about the legalities of downloading anime. I mean... the show goes on television. If I wanted to watch Naruto, I could tune into Cartoon Network - I wouldn't be giving the makers any money then, would I?

 

When you watch television you (in theory) add to the ratings (its complicated), advertisers pay for advertising space, so networks make money this way. If a show has a higher rating its gonna cost more to advertise during it (eg the cost of advertising during the Friends finale was $2 million or something silly). Ergo, when you watch you do give money to the makers.

So it should then, in theory, be legal to download bbc programmes?

 

And by the way, dabookerman, am I right in thinking that you're both a ninja and a pirate at the same time?:hehe:

Well im sure advertisers still pay to advertise between programs, so nope. Unless you wish the pay the lisence fee and advertising fees (which would be in the thousands at a guess), then I'd imagine the BBC would let you go wild. But as you'd be the only one who has paid, nobody could legally host them.

No, the bbc only advertise themselves; they're not taking any fee from advertisers.

You shouldn't download BBC stuff because it's copyright infringement, not because of the advertising (or lack thereof). Anywho ... enough of the mott, of flaming each other and linking to places where licensed stuff may be obtained.

Yeah; Christian Bale was damn good in the film. I was really impressed by Billy Crystal as well; when I saw his name on the box I was very much like

 

'God No'

 

But he put in a good performance as Kalcifer.

I don't actually download BBC stuff; I was just pointing out the flaw in Asheley's argument.

 

Anyoway, who's seen the preview for ep 24 of otome?... disturbing stuff.
