Store in North VA actually renting Naruto fansubs.
Like said. They are renting all current Naruto episodes on recordable VHS tapes. Also were renting Samurai Champloo, Samurai 7, and Full Metal Alchemist. They also have a gigantic bootleg DVD selection. Even of anime mentioned above. Pretty funny they are turning the files they leech of your computers into profit.

I knew of a GREAT anime fun place that had the normal games and anime to rent...
HOWEVER!!!!! They DID have unlicenced anime in subbed form (some they did their selves) but it was free!!!!!! They had the one who borrowed it place down money as a security measure and the money was returned when the disk was returned... They said no one ever stiffed them because they told them that the first disk this isn't returned is the day they stop letting people view them at all. VOLTAGE's post "tossing random anime" |

ermmmm, if you really think about it... and I mean really think about it.. is it so wrong to make a profit when all you're doing is helping those with less fortunate internet connections see a wolrd they otherwise would've had to wait years to see?

It's easy. If you don't have broadband internet, chances are that you have friends that do.... you do have friends right?
Reasons to buy/rent free fansubs(the word, "buy" and "free" shouldn't be in the same sentence):
That's about the only reasons that I have on me right now. Feel free to add to it. |

Just report it to Bandai, ADV, Funimation, etc. Actually just report it to ADV...ADV pretty much go all out on these mofos who make money...when that money is suppose to go to THEM.
If ADV can go after mircx.com for their torrents, they sure as hell can raise some hell on these people who are actually making money off something that's supposedly is free to obtain. I can't believe they actually do it out in the open and as a chain store too. Usually, especially in Asian shops (Chinatown, etc.) they usually have it hidden out from public view, but people who are seeking anime...know they have it. This store (Pandora's Cube) sure has some big balls to be doing this so openly. |

IMO the line you draw is a fake one. in fact thiers not much difference between you seeing unliscensed anime for free or for cost as far as the parent company is concerned, in fact they prolly prefer bootlegs, it involves a lot more cost and risk, and requires hard copies. The main beef i think is valid is, the subbers did the translation, and they did not intend it to be distributed for a profit.
Anyhow thefact is, the people bootleging are providing a service, at a cost but the cost is usually not that high and people getting the animation who cant get it otherwise dont feel gyped in fact they are often just happy to see new and different anime uncut, just like you do edit: as i understand it no one has rights to naruto yet. so adv wouldnt bother methinks, also stopping 20 or 40 narutos from being sold serves a lot less purpose than stopping 4000 narutos from being given free. i think they would place torrents far above the vendors |

If I were ADV I would be concern. Considering that they are selling these bootlegs in 3 chain stores throughout VA and MA and some of them could be ADV licenses. |
