>>13421The 2nd point is 100% true, anime BD's in Japan are a fucking scam, the BD's are like $100 each and they only contain 2 or 3 episodes so a full series costs like $600-800

>>13458It's just Chinese people pooling money and sending it to someone in Japan who buys it and sends rips back to Chinese who upload it on one of their platforms which then gets copied by multiple groups and uploaded elsewhere.
No.13466
>>13454Apart from their government instantly blocking all foreign piracy sites that pop up, and ruthlessly clamping down on their local pirates, there's also this strong anti-piracy sentiment embedded into the moral fabric of their current culture. Pirating is a grave sin and anyone who does it should be ashamed of not supporting the creators whatever his circumstances might me. Even archiving old shit for posterity is wrong. This moral outrage is something that people living outside Japan can never understand without at least tuning into the Japanese discourse online.
