Your getting it wrong, MMM. That was not what i wanted to pass on my reply.
"Does the "advertise" (A major worldwide knownledge of Anime) done from piracy, who captivated millions of fans, was worth it? By worth it i mean, if the advertise from piracy (on worldwide) lured enough fans to actualy watch AND then buy the product, rather than NOT advertising it by piracy and letting it take its rume?"
Want i want to point here is that if the downloading (Piracy worldwide Advertising) brought anything good that would infact "neutralize" the bad things it brought. Therefore, if it was better to follow the rume of not advertising it by piracy worldwide. Obviously im not suporting downloading (Piracy advertise), just exposing what would happen IF the downloading continues, of it actualy was removed from the face of the Earth.
Advertise by piracy (Worldwide) leads to more fans, who leads to people downloading. But does it lead to an increase in sales by the simple fact of being a mass advertisement made by piracy who brought loads of fans? Or was it better if it was NOT advertised (less worldwide knownledge) with no possibility of downloading leaving it to -purchase- only option?
What im pointing out here is the modernization/"spread-the-word" of the product VIA piracy advertisement. Again, im not taking sides with piracy advertisement. Infact, i think its morally and legally wrong. Because loosing "products" in order to attain knownledge of the product worldwide, it is not right nor healthy for the company. Thats why i questioned if "Piracy Advertise" would actualy bring "fans" worldwide who would buy the products, and in the other hand, if the products lost and the ones bought by those same worldwide fans, would be better if you would let it take its rume without any downloading stream source. Thats what im pointing out, not taking any sides.-
"Few good things i can think comming from Piracy advertise (if they are any good) is the international TV stations airing the "Animes" (they will purchase the rights) who will actualy give some money to the companies. (I assume?)"
The major side effect is perhaps less sales, spoiling the product, stealing the product, lack of interest, and so on.
By this, i mean that in alot of countries, -thanks- (this is relative) to the "illegal advertise" or "piracy advertise", many bought the Rights to air those series in their country TV stations. BUT, it does not "neutralize" the stolen/spoiled/burned products who were ripped from downloading and such. Again, a negative and not sustainable act from Piracy Downloading.
I guess the worldwide advertise from piracy, who brings legions of worldwide fans, plus, brings TV Stations to purchase the -Rights- for the Anime on "x" contries, does not neutralize the outcome/income fragil "line" from stolen Products and spoiling works, and such.
«In the end, my argument was not to justify positively “Piracy Advertise” but more like comparing the benefits and problems that it would bring, and the counters it takes aswell. So alll in all, im saying the good things Piracy Advertise brings, are not sufficient or enough to neutralize the bad things it brings aswell.
I hope i was more accurate this time, and sorry for giving you a wrong idea of my argument. I support your cause.
