Comments on: Sword of Uruk — Is it only on CrunchyRoll? http://thepinksylphide.com/2009/01/11/sword-of-uruk-is-it-only-on-crunchyroll Somewhere in the Land of the Sugarplum Fairy Fri, 13 Jan 2012 12:32:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Chris http://thepinksylphide.com/2009/01/11/sword-of-uruk-is-it-only-on-crunchyroll/comment-page-1#comment-2789 Chris Mon, 12 Jan 2009 02:43:21 +0000 http://thepinksylphide.com/?p=459#comment-2789 I don't know anything about Scott's personal moral views and positions, only about the positions he takes in his writings. What he's written fairly closely matches my own views. I think I've written bits and pieces of my own views here and there on <span class="title">The Pink Sylphide</span>, although I should pull them into a single post to be able to easily reference. As for Crunchyroll, it's about how they've gone about their business. From what I know about them (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, anyone), they reached popularity streaming anime (I don't know if it was fansubs only or raws as well). I don't know if they steams anything licensed outside of Japan, but that wouldn't make a difference for me. How can a company expect to recoup any of their investment into producing a series by putting it online if another site provides it for free? (There's ad-support, of course, but that's beside the point.) As I see it, it's all about the money for Crunchyroll. I'm a very strong capitalist, so it's not like I'm against anyone making money off of something, but that doesn't mean I'll agree with any and every way of generating income. With <span class="title">Sword of Uruk</span> unfortunately off of my radar at this time, maybe I'll pick up another series (in my to-watch DVD cabinet) to watch and write about, or I could simply speed through series three of <span class="title">Ojamajo Doremi</span> for a while, and cut back on the bloggin' a bit!

He's just doing it to feel important when "industry" people talk to him. I feel the same about Crunchy, but because of its shady business dealings, not because of Scott's pronouncements.
