I am not saying that people should not download things at all (since i am playing the devil's advocate here), but i am just disagreeing on you saying that downloading is free and it cannot be compared to stealing (on the first page, which started this argument), despite that animes are not easily accesible to foreign people.

Also lots of people who buy discs in this forum don't actually buy the discs to watch it (my entire blu-ray collection of Mashiro iro symphony is still unopened, also many of my eroge collections are still nicely shrinkwrapped in my closet), but rather as a collection. I think it's in japan probably the same for late night anime shows , although there are people there who buy it for the extras/collectibles inside.
