Ya know, they can keep mouthing the propaganda lines but the fact remains that I and many other Western fans would be spending what we spent *before* we discovered fansubs without fansubs or some equivalent: $Zero dollars$ Zero. I don't buy what I can't see.
I spend thousands of dollars a year on anime, manga, and industry merchandise because of fansubs. So do many other people. If the industry won't provide an equivalent mechanism for me to view broadcasts - they lose me and others like me as a customer. That's a real loss of dollars. Counting non-paying eyeballs as a loss is a false metric and it always has been. Understand your niche in the economy and excel in it and you'll pay the bills and make a profit, Mr. Anime Spokesblobs.
