EDIT: also wonder who said no to the bootleg in the poll, share your thoughts.
I voted no. My thoughts are summarized pretty succinctly by the phrasing of the poll option. Frankly, I'm surprised I'm still the only one that voted that way.
I give a pass in the case of Space Fantasy Zone (or anything else that didn't get an official widespread release) however, since that's basically unobtanium otherwise.
But even in the case of SFZ, very nice quality copies exist from Anime4ever. Not at his asking price, but that's a different story.....
It's possible part of it, for me at least, is a holdover from the music scene, where I vehemently oppose bootlegging any commercially available material.
