Topic: Asian DVD Club Urusei Yatsura batch!

Those who live in glass houses shouldn't cast stones. The moderator is just as much a person as you or I; I'd rather they tell the truth than spew bologna about how "piracy is terrible and you should feel eternally guilty for the indelible sin you have committed."

Oh, I've no interest in hearing such bile spewed, either. However, moderators are supposed to be the authority around these parts, you'd think if ANYONE were to obey the rules, and see to it that they were obeyed by others, it would be them. That's why moderators exist.

And yes, I'm well aware of three strikes laws. I think it's pointless to complain about such things, as well, because if you willingly commit a crime, and you know it's a crime, you should also be willing to accept whatever punishment is given for that crime. Three strikes laws exist to make penalties heftier for repeat offenders. Crime is bad enough in this country that such laws became necessary, though when you factor in the fact that crime is our culture, you can see why it was necessary.

Well, well, well... I was trying to follow the rules by not saying words that weren't consider as curse or swear words and what you, Sidzero, did was arguing about it with me.

Talk about the irony...

What we have here,ladies and gentlemen,is a rare (but not uncommon) case of having problems of defining wrong and right.Lets consider the following:

- UYF has posted some links leading to UY episodes as way to help this growing community to get in touch with the marvelous masterpiece known as Urusei Yatsura

- Posting links to licensed anime is forbidden at this forum and the moderators (one of them is yours truly) should keep the "law" around here

- Urusei Yatsura is no longer licensed on the United States of America,therefore there is no real crime by downloading the video files that were ripped from the American DVDs

- These files may not be ripped from the American DVDs

- Most lumaholics here do not have the chance/money to buy the real deal and most of them must resort to downloading

- Rumiko Takahashi does not use the Internet

In a final analysis,there is no true answer to what is right or wrong,all of this is a cycle that knows no end

Anyways,I will allow the links to remain considering that UYF is probably doing this to help us lumaholics and not because of personal glory (I just hope I do not regret this choice of mine)

Piracy... argh... XD

Piracy... argh... XD

Aye aye,cap'n Falling Star,methinks the term "piracy" should not be used in this case,argh

How about calling it "not official distribution",mates?

[UruseiNeo]

Shiver me timbers, we be using pirate accents now?

[FallinG_StaR]

I like piracy... even if its not... its way cooler than "not official distribution"... XD

No not pirate accents... Cosmic is a pro at that... and old english...
