  1. I think asking people not to upload and distribute rips of music and videos is fucking ridiculous because:
    a- those bands would be shooting themselves in the leg as this is how they get more fans outside of Japan and more people talking about them.

    b- it's pretty natural to want to listen to the whole album before deciding if you wanna buy it, instead of some 15 second promo clip which gives absolutely indication. It makes sense to me anyway. I'd rather knowing what I spend my money on before buying a release, and not buy some shit then regret it later. 
    Maybe it's not completely fair for the artist, but I don't think that putting up music online is automatically equivalent to disrespecting the band's time and effort in creating their music, because as I said this is what gets people talk about them. Eventually those who really like the music will still purchase it. At least I try to. Either way getting mad over this is pretty useless now that anything finds its way to the internet. Perhaps labels should really find a better strategy to sell more music. Although who would really consider lowering prices for some poor gaijin if Japanese fans are going to buy it anyway? Not to mention making  3+  versions of the same cd. Then why do you even expect anything else?
