David Drake's Hammer's Slammers books that were online, and now I'm
ordering an omnibus edition from SFBC because I discovered I actually
like them quite a lot. And I find that the experience of reading a
story online is different enough from reading it in a book, and I
prefer the latter. Nothing to do with an obligation, in my case; I
just prefer the dead-tree version.

And many (dare say: most) anime fans prefer to watch the newer stuff
on computer, taken from Japan before the American licensors get hands
on it.

And on what do you base that opinion? your own preferences?
Considering the MARKET for Anime in R1 has always been dominated by
the DUB (see the differences in sales between SUB and DUB VHS) at best
your defintion of "anime fans" can only be refering to a tiny subset
of the market that never made a majority of Anime sales to begin with.


Unless you're feeling the anime industry is lying about their present
state, the breadth of fansubbing proves it for me.

since the industry is reporting a profit, if they are lying you better
report those companies to the SEC. On the other hand if you are
refering to the Ayers brothers and Watanabe/Nabeshin, they're not "the
Industry" they;re a couple a voice actors and a director. On the other
hand, that you continue to refer to a couple of voice actors and a
director as the industry, when clearly they are not could be
considered a lie on your part (but I'll give you the benefit of the
doubt and instead refer to it as a delusion on your part)


But not all. And as long as enough don't, that's fine.

And not enough do -- unless you think the industry is lying about
their present state.

No, apparently enough do -- unless you think the industry is lying
about it's present state on it's financial reports. In which case, I
suggest you report them to the SEC (in America, to what ever the
equivilent of the SEC is for Japan).

I'll beat the dead horse until you get it: It's either that or people
like Watanabe and Greg Ayres are openly lying to you for an agenda.

or they are mistaken. Since they are giving their OPINION, that is an
option no matter how much you might wish to believe otherwise.
