Tomooooooooo ~~~~~~~~~ TT______________TT
Makki too T_T

Araki & Zukki " it was fun to learn that they are good friends in real life." Gekiranger was the perfect show for all AraZukki fan. It was so beautiful to see Araki think all the time about Zukki and Zukki thinking all the time about Araki <3<3<3<3

"Why did no one ever sub Rocket Boys?" I want too T_T

I love your story about Miki and her garden XDDDDDDD

[tilmon]

Tomo is a victim of my being distracted. Makki, sadly, is a victim of me not really knowing anything about him. But everyone else will enlighten me, right?

I need to watch Gekiranger again. It was such a weird show! Not complaining. I like weird.

We need to somehow get it subbed. Surely we have the talent to do it ourselves. We just need to find a way to share the files necessary for a group project.

I can't translate, but I have already time a movie lol
And for sharing, the Chinese sites are always available!!!

[tilmon]

The Chinese sites are available for us to ul? I don't know how to use them, but I will gladly learn. I'm quite annoyed that losing access to the usual places puts a crimp in our fan sharing. Especially since sharing things that don't have a copyright or distribution in the US has always been perfectly legal.

[makichan5]

I have already up and dl on Chinese sites ^^ I know Misa can too. I think you can too!!!
Yes, it's sad, but it's illegal after all. We finally continue with other sites.
Well, when it's on internet, I think the copyright is worldwide. So, it's illegal everywhere. For one year ago, I'm trying to buy legally little by little. For example, I'm not very interesting to buy Love Heaven single (I'm not a big fan of the band for the moment), but I love so much the song. So, I will buy it on Itunes (just 200yens the song, it's cheap ne ^^)

Unless ACTA goes into enforcement, that isn't the case, at least not in the US. It's OK to dl things that are not under US copyright in the US. Probably OK to dl things that are not under Brazilian copyright in Brazil

[makichan5]

It's different in France. That's why ^^
We have a law who says:
"Any complete or partial representation or reproduction done without the author's or assign's approval is illegal. It's the same for the translation, the adaptation or the transformation, the arrangement or the reproduction by an art or any process."
So, even if there don't be copyrights in my country, the scantrad and the fansub are illegal ^^;
I can understand the freedom of speech is important, but unfortunately, when we share something on internet and we don't have the rights from the author, it's like stealing him. We have good intentions, and want to show it to the others because it have to be see by the most of people. I share videos myself for this reason. But I can't lie to myself, and ignore it's a theft after all.

The problem is gets back to content owners (and lets be real here--it is hardly ever the actual creator involved) wanting to shove universal copyright throughout the world without at the same time developing universal access. What they are doing is known as racketeering, carving the world up into little districts, restricting the flow of information, all so they can extract money from a cowed populace.

In the US, back in the days of slavery, if a slave ran away and was then caught where slavery was illegal, that slave was still returned his master. And you know why? Because the slave was charged with theft. Theft was not exactly the gravest crime that was happening, but the real crime--turning people into slaves--was not punishable. Remember that: Theft is not a worse crime than violation of human rights.

[makichan5]

But putting works of people without their permissions (and some of them said they are against scantrad and fansub) is a violation of human rights too!

[tilmon]

Let's see...what does the UN have to say about this
