No free anime = Less weeb = Sad

If piracy was banned then broke kids suffer :/

By blocking out the content, you lose many potential fans. These fans could be used to boost popularity in that region, as well as worldwide. The popularity boost could then lead to legal ways of consuming the content which will then benefit the content creators. By removing this possibility, the content creators have nothing at all to gain. They also lose nothing if the content wasn't blocked.

This way its a win win to both creators and readers

Being a content creator is not as easy as it seems. For example, some manga artist released their work on a weekly basis in consecutive weeks, causing a lot of stress on their physical and mental health, which is why supporting the content created is the least people can do to help them.

Piracy definitely isn't right as it means that producers aren't getting what they deserve for putting in all their effort into making good content. But I do think that companies should provide more people with legal access to such content as it will give these people a platform to watch the shows they like.

Overall, I think that the people's reasons for pirating anime or any content play a huge role in the debate about whether piracy should or shouldn't be banned.

U give the weebs the anime and the manga they want and they fight for your country. flawless logic and plan for external military power and economic support

Anime industry is literally slave labour as the artists drawing get barely enough money to survive while the publication houses dont make much of a profit, even if it is a hit

# data[].attributes.body
I believe most of these illegal sites should be banned however maybe creators can release certain episodes/chapters for free but with ads so they still get some revenue. A large portion of people who enjoy anime/manga typically don't spend money on it so I think if

# data[].attributes.body
the anime community (ahem wEEbs) have been growing at a rapid rate. With the large number of people in these communities who resort to pirating to access their so dearly wanted content, banning anime piracy would spark quite a fair bit of 'conflict' amongst fans

# data[].attributes.body
Creators are losing money. Only because its overpriced and not available which resulted to that.

# data[].attributes.body
Although creators may lose money ,these websites basically give free publicity which therefore creates demand fanbases etc.This allow certain anime/manga to blow up in popularity and therefore allow creators to continue making the manga and becoming famous which in the long run gets u alot more money

# data[].attributes.body
By taking away the only method for many of us to consume the content, they block out many potential fans. Whilst fans may not contribute directly monetarily, it spreads the influence and helps the anime in more ways.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't watch anime but i feel that if people pirate the anime or manga and like it, they would find other ways to support the creator by like donating money or buying merch. If the government bans it people will still find other ways to get it and not stop trying to get it.

# data[].attributes.body
The creators are losing alot of money due to it and therefore is salty about it as they feel under-appreciated for their work

# data[].attributes.headline
If the creators of anime and manga want to make stonks but they cant/dont release to countries they will not make as much profit. so why don't they just make it accessible??

I dont watch nor read anime so I dont really care if piracy of anime is completely banned.

Creators would also be affected greatly as they would lose a lot of money as shown by the stats in the articles and if so they may go out of business then no more anime/manga would be produced

# data[].attributes.body
If we dont pirate it, we probably wont be able to access it anyway,  so it doesnt matter. option 1: you get nothing. Option 2: you get distraction. option 2 is a win win

# data[].attributes.body
For Japan, who's culture and economy may be affected by this piracy worldwide, it would make sense for them to want to protect their material and creators' work, in order to ensure that there is more revenue in this aspect for the country.

# data[].attributes.body
If anime/manga piracy was completely banned, the fanbase of some newer or lesser known anime, so if anime/manga piracy was completely banned, some studios would be getting less profit

# data[].attributes.body
If we never watched or read it illegally. We wouldn't even be able to discover good titles and all types of anime titles will be dead in less than a week.

# data[].attributes.body
i dont watch anime but i feel that it should not be banned. This is because the consumers will feel angry as some of the animes cannot be found in SG

# data[].attributes.body
Anime don't even make much money for the studio and crunchyroll does't really pay much to the studios. Usually anime is just to advertise the source like the manga or light novel. Most money they make is from figurines and books and stuff.

# data[].attributes.body
By pirating, it's not only hugely deteriorating the economy and the author's effort, but it's also a bad habit to keep up (e.g. dishonesty)

Some anime are not available in certain regions so pirating is the only option to watch it.
Most of an anime's exposure comes from illegal anime websites so without them many titles would not get noticed and would get less support from avid fans.

# data[].attributes.body
i dont watch/read anime/manga therefore I do not care if its piracy is banned.

# data[].attributes.body
I just watch whatever i want but if no have then too bad so sad lol.

some animes and mangas aren’t available in a certain country and usually won’t be for a long time thus people would need to pirate them to be able to actually read/watch them

# data[].attributes.body
costing the economy a lot of money

# data[].attributes.body
1. some anime/manga are not available in certain regions / countries. Therefore, pirating them might be the only way of accessing these content

2. some parents would not allow their children to spend money on anime / manga because they think its cHiLDiSh.

# data[].attributes.body
and anime industry is literally slave labour anyways, with the actual artists drawing earning barely enough to live

# data[].attributes.body
For many of us it is the only way to get such content. If they don't provide us with a legal way to access this content, taking away the only method doesn't help.

# data[].attributes.body
Firstly, I am not a consumer of anime/manga, so the current piracy crackdowns do not affect me.

Also, wouldn't the creators of the manga/anime series be making a loss? When pirated versions of their releases can be accessed for free anywhere, they're losing out on a lot of money that may not be able to be recuperated, even through the sale of merchandise.

Kids don't have credit card to buy stuff and dont want their parents to think they are a disappointment

# data[].attributes.body
I am not a weeb or anything but I feel like good anime titles are very limited on Netflix which results us to watch illegally on different sites.
