o LEGALITY OF COPYING ANIME
By virtue of trade agreements between the US and Japan, it is illegal in the
US to distribute copies of anime and anime-related material without having
permission from the copyright holder, regardless of whether or not any fee is
charged.
Copyrights are intended to make sure that the author of the work receives
appropriate compensation for his/her job. Some people consider the copying
of anime a morally corrupt practice, as the author of the work is not being
paid. There have been several counter-arguments to this by anime fans, such
as:
- It is unlikely that the Japanese companies will sue the fan, as this
practice creates a demand for other anime-related products, which
increases their sales.
- The fan is against profiting from this activity, and in some cases even
boycotts and denounces any people who are doing it for profit.
- These features are far too expensive/hard-to-find for the fan to acquire
them by other means.
Regardless of any moral or economical justifications, the fact is that
copying of anime features is illegal under US law. If the fan resorts to
this method to obtain anime material, he/she should be aware of this.
o TRANSLATED ANIME
The following companies have translated anime videos for sale. These
are OFFICIAL versions, done with the authorization of the original copyright
owners.
