>>Ack! You bought a bootleg! <<
Whoa! Really!
Wow, my hubby is computer geek No.1 and has a thing about copying software. I have to keep it quiet. Crap!
Just don't say anything about it. ;-)
Don't feel too bad. Most anime buyers make that mistake once or twice at the beginning - hah, I should have known that complete set of "Rurouni Kenshin" for $90 was too good to be true. I lucked out and got decent subtitles, but a lot of bootlegs are unwatchable because the subtitles are so bad. Everyone I know has one or two bootlegs on their shelves - it's almost a rite of passage, you say "Look how cheaply I got this!" and an older and wiser friend tells you the truth...
But anyway we aren't doing ourselves any favors. If we like Miyazaki's healthy family films, we have to buy the legitimate versions to "send a message" to Disney that we want more of that...
