I've spoken to plenty of kids who's parents think anime is the devil.
Rather then dropping jobs perhaps they should lower prices.
I don't think that production of anime will ever come to a dead stop because it's so popular.
The best thing non-bootleggers can do like yourself MMM, is introduce more people to anime/manga.
We all have those friends that think anime is the most stupid and childish thing in the world, try convincing them otherwise by introducing them to one they'll like.
One thing I do when I get stuck baby sitting someones monster, to make it settle down I pop in some jumpy happy anime.
They love it.
The more people that watch anime the more people that buy it.

Young people support the intertainment industries because they are the ones with disposable incomes. Thus the catering of, say the music industry, to juvenile tastes. They drive the whole industry.
