Now I differentiate between broadcast files and DVD-rip files. DVD-rips? I'm right with them, that's a 1:1 theft within their domestic market and they should pursue those vigorously (for now).

Wait, aren't 99% of fansubs out there based on files acquired from Japanese peer to peer networks? This stuff is already out there.
