If that's so, why does the US have the biggest amount of legal court casings over TV rights and other added rights (Movies included, though most for piracy), than any other country on the planet?
From what I've read, most are over censorship of shows shown on TV that were put in time slots aimed when children could watch them, and would be deemed by the "rational" household unsuitable for children.
I have a few of the ID Tokyopop DVDs, and every time I've watched them, the quality of the audio and video has been crap, independant of the player (I used to work in a media department of a university, we have a lot of DVD players at a minimum, not to mention other nice equipment).
The fansubs that L-E put out are far superiour in quality that I have seen compaired to the DVDs, and that's digital FTA in Japan, not to mention encoded in "antiquated" video codecs!
Personally, what do I know about US law? Not a hell of a lot, considering that I'm against the US in every aspect (By the way, thanks for voting in Bush again, guess who we're stuck with for another 4 years thanks to you!).
There is no "Fanboyism" involved, I think you're just trying to find a reason to self elevate yourself above everyone else because you're sick and tired of everyone's support of freedom of information (If it's digital, it's free, regardless of your copyright... I'd explain, but you'd argue that as well).
And yes, there is a "secret inner council", there always has been, there always will be, just that the "general american public" is not allowed to know about it, conspiracy theories aside. Do some research on just how much money is wasted by the US government over the last term (No, not the war budget for Iraq, that's not all US money, that's the worlds money on a wild goose chase), to make the world a "safer place" which is to make the world a US governed world that nobody can do anything in at all (The US are now trying to get their internet laws instated in every country, even third world countries without internet access, which is being largely funded by Microsoft so they can sue whoever they like whenever they like).
Granted, that was off on a bit of a tangent there, but stop thinking you're all high and mighty, and accept the fact that you're not the biggest and the best anymore, nobody is, because regardless of whether we're arguing about anime or not, your ideology about yourself and your country narrows your own thoughts and comments to be on the one track that you are correct.
You are a fanboy of America, learn your own rational thought!
