I think piracy is really bad, and they should bring back flogging for people who hijack ships and take sailors hostage.
Yes and no for me. Despite having close to 2TB now in pirated movies, I'm still against it. I do, however, have to pirate them sadly. Movies, games and pretty much any electronic content or media is overly expensive in Australia. If it were cheaper, I would definitely buy. Without a doubt. I just can't.
Piracy is almost inevitable for watching anime. I've run into several series that aired in Japan, but are: A. Not licensed outside of Japan. B. No DVD release (either in dub or sub). C. Not offered on any legal streaming site. Good luck getting people to watch your show if you don't have the means to legally get it to them.
