The ethical questions I often wonder

[Sephirothskr]

I don't think there's much honestly. But I respect the org's rules.

The jist is that while what we do is technically illegal, we should at the very least support the companies that produce the content we use. Talking about where to get the content for free isn't supporting those companies.

We should really update that pwolf discussion policy...

[Pwolf]

Indeed.

its like the recreational weed legalization going on. Technically its a major felony to transport weed or seeds across state lines, everybody knows this, but they all just kind of turns a blind eye to it.

I agree with Pwolf on this. Also it is up to us as "Anime Fans" if we do truly love the series to support it. I've always made the argument at conventions to people who say I can't afford to buy anime, I just rather stream it online, or go here to get it. Now if you are streaming legally by a paid site or crunchyroll, funimation, etc. that's fine. However youtube and all these third party sites are not. There are many ways to get your anime at a lower price. There is rightstuf, amazon, ebay, and different video stores. FYE I know is over priced at times, but if you don't mind used copies of the DVD then you can do their deals of buy 2 get the third free, or buy 1 get 1 50% off. It's all how you manage your money and what you feel is important.

As for the reason why it is not discussed around here is because it is not supported. Posting links to other sites for source footage would be asking for trouble.
