and... don't they know that they could be 
convincing the distributors to stop releasing any
legit merchandise?  If the distributors are losing
money to illicit merchandise, they may just stop 
selling anime related merchandise at all, and we 
would all lose out.  But that's our culture for 
you - a lot of people think that anything they can
get away with is right, and a profit today over 
rules a disaster tomorrow.

By the way, more power to whoever is making those 
insane bids on that guys crap!!
