IMHO, I think the companies of original stuff should not sell their stuff
so expensive in the first place, they should sell it at lower prices. Thus
people need not go to the extent of buying pirated stuff. Thus there would
be more people buying original stuff and they will have more profits in the
long run.
If Gainax sells it DVDs and VCDs at much lower price, i will buy them up
immedietely. I see no point in selling expensive stuff when the profit
margin is already so big.
