As I see it, if you're going to pirate DVDs you may as well just download the entire series off the net (and then put them on VCD or DVD). At least that way you're not lining the pockets of some scab who did no work whatsoever and has no right to reap the rewards of someone else's work..

I do agree that anime is pretty overpriced though. For a UK example, a full 24 episode series of 24 retails for about £30, but the 26 episode Evangelion Box-Set is going to cost about £80. Anime is certainly an expensive hobby - I've kept it relatively cheap so far by only getting movies and spending only between £6 and £15... but sooner or later I'm going to want to get all those series DVDs that i've been itching for and I'm going to be a stereotypical poor student!
