Anime Boston Vid Blog 9: An Appeal

This is a little big of a PSA. Pirating Anime isn't just against the law, it hurts the industry big time. Anime needs your support, not just as a fan, but as a consumer. Get some DVDs, come out to a Con and show your support for this medium we all appreciate. And if you pirate liscenced Anime...stop. Go to Funimation's channel and watch it there, or just buy a damn DVD. Support the art.

Not a problem! Buy the DVDs from trusted distributors themselves at most conventions (Funimation hires FYE to run their booths and sell merch), and there's a lot of ways to spot a bootleg. There's even panels at cons about spotting bootlegs, so you've got all your bases covered!

There is a problem though. What if you buy a bootlegged DVD? I haven't been to many different conventions but I know that many of the booths selling imports of anime or martial arts films are not always above board.
