why attack me about popularity issue? it is their product, their jobs on the line. it is them who have to think how to develop their product and how to market it. and if they can't fix popularity issue then it is also up to them to fight illegal downloads.

The music industry is much larger than the anime industry, so dollar for dollar it is much higher, but it also takes much less to take the smaller industries down.
I am not attacking you about the popularity issue, but I am saying that if you knew the secret of how to make something popular, then you'd be a billionaire. My point is that it isn't as simple as "making it popular".
And the industries are fighting illegal downloads, but you also understand these are small companies and legal battles are devastatingly expensive. Lately the companies have joined forces and even the Japanese license holders are putting in their fair share, so hopefully more progress will happen.
