Obviously piracy doesn't affect the sales as only domestic sales are released by Oricon anyway. What i'm saying is that the number of Westerners buying Japanese discs is incredibly small (possibly less than 100). Sure there may be a slight increase in overseas sales due to the English subtitles, but look back at what you said here in the following quote.

No. Piracy does not affect sales AT ALL. Pirates would not buy the works anyway.

You are saying the overseas sales are the reason why the actual sales of Macross Delta is higher, which is what i'm getting at here. Again, read what i'm posting, and stop glossing over the important parts. How many Westerners are willing to pay 8000+ yen for Vol.1? Do I have to spell it out for you? How could that be of any significance to the sales, when the discs sold 9,999? Are you saying, suddenly thousands of Westerners bought the discs because of the English subtitles? Get real.

Anyone who cares about macross enough to buy it, because its the only way to. Its in an unique situation unlike love live or the rest of shows.



You are acting like I said the sales would be doubled by western orders. Somehow I doubt I am the one who is not reading the posts. No. Piracy does not affect sales AT ALL.

You said way higher . Way higher is equivalent to saying it is significantly higher than it is, while in reality overseas sales are a drop in the ocean, regardless if it has English subtitles or not. Now I regret wasting my time even pointing out what you posted in the beginning, when you just keep going on a tangent.



Piracy as a whole does affect sales. It has positive and negative effects. Positives is that it brings more recognition to the work, while the negatives is that the production committee is getting robbed of potential sales. If torrents or other ways of getting the content illegally did not exist, then how would pirates be able to even watch the content in the first place? There was a time before torrents, etc, existed, where people actually bought content, but now in the internet age, and the ease of copying content onto discs, etc, makes it way too easy to pirate content. It is complete rubbish stating that piracy doesn't affect sales, when it obviously does.



I'm taking my leave from this argument before I waste even more time. I have better things to do than go around in circles with someone who doesn't get it. You said.
