Why you need to wait that long?
I hope to get mine before end of the month.

Then also throw in that you can't buy it off iTunes and you can't even rent it or watch it anywhere (even if you pay or its free) unless you live in Japan or in Asia. So for us international fans its very frustrating. And believe me when I say I'm starting to get ticked off now.

Your attitude seriously disgust me.

Yes, you have personal whatever so if you send someone your torrent he can download it but the ratio goes to your account, so in practice you can send somebody a torrent, he can get the video as long as you are fine with being 'charged' with the ratio loss (except for freeleech), that's what I had in mind, I did that often in the past since my download speed was poor and my friend could download videos for me in a matter of minutes, never got banned for that.

I think this is actually the first time Ayu dvd isn't up yet, we usually get them right away.

I personally love when people share, it's their decision to do that or not, i have the atitude "if you're sharing,THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR KINDNESS, if not, i can live with that too, enjoy your purchase!".

Quite a number of people on here think those who don't buy are just not buying because "why waste my money if someone else will and share it".. i am sure there are people like that too but not everyone is like this.

Maybe some people need to have MORE gratitude dowards those who share, that is true.

If you post a link here, 30 people will probably click it meaning 30 people will be downloading through the same sharekey, the account associated with the link will be banned faster than you can sayonara aisarete.

You seriously need an attitude adjustment, qorl. You make it sound like the world owes it to you to produce a copy of HLS for your viewing pleasure RIGHT THIS INSTANT when, in reality, you aren't entitled to ****. If people are kind enough to rip their copies and make it available for other people who don't have the means to watch it to legally, that's their prerogative, and maybe you ought to try showing a little gratitude instead of *****ing and moaning about how everyone's holding out on you.

I see what you did there, and I approve.

I still don't really have any interest in watching this tour. I watched the snippet of A Song is Born at the Sendai concert (tears forever) but I really detested Party Queen so this tour doesn't really appeal to me. It's weird to think that it's the last time we'll see Maro on stage in a concert though. I was shocked watching the ASiB clip at how many of the dancers I didn't recognize. I miss the old crew...

Then you maybe had luck. Normally when you share your torrent and get listed in the seeders list multiply you get banned, it´s even written in the rules. But I think the system only bans when there are really muliple doubles of you, because I sometimes also am twice in the seeders list when my torrent program crashes.

@thread
It really took long this time till a rip was up o.o And it will take even longer till a good rip is up xD

[Ayusan]

You know, with years I was surprised and sad that people didn't wish to share anything, even more when back in the past, I remember people shared a lot, myself included, I shared rip of CD, DVD, scans of mags, books, I screwed some of my rare books while scanning in HD with no watermark, because they were old and the glue went off, I did it because it made people happy, and with time, I saw less and less people sharing and thought it was quite "sad" but when I read comment as FoxyPinkGirl, I understand!

No matter if people can buy it or no, want to buy it or no, nothing is owed! Period! In fact, people are so ungrateful, everything is due, that I start to understand that situation I notice since a few years.

The rip isn't up the day of release ? Shut up and wait, if people were more grateful, maybe rips would come faster!

[~angel*ayumi~]

@Ayusan
Totally agree!
I damaged my A Book during scanning it, because there were no complete scans. But my scanner was really bad back then... so ppl complained about the qualilty instead of beeing happy the whole book can be seen. And I don´t share a single scan anymore without watermark, but even that doesn´t help sometimes. I remember the thing with the (m)u Tour Pamphlet......

The Ayu fandom is dead so I'm just grateful for whatever people choose to share.

You should be grateful that people take time out of THEIR busy lives to rip music and DVD's for US. I'm an international fan, like most of us here on AHS, and I'm not the least bit frustrated to see that there's no rip, because I know we will have one in due time.

sad but true

anyway anyone here ordered from HMV? I wonder why my HLS is still in the agent of export and they didnt updated the tarcking site since Monday, I hope I'll received it this weekend though

[INSPIREme]

Mine came today too! I'm so thrilled, everyone that came on our Japan trip to HLS is coming over for an ayu party on Friday (plus a few others that just want educating on the wonders of ayu )

I got the Blu-ray though and I don't have anything that can rip it.

I've often found people to be quite rude about downloading things though, whether they mean to be or not. Like, when someone takes so much time to make a rip and someone else downloads it and complains about the quality. Just be appreciative!

[mizuki-7]

sad but true

I think you overdramatise... I assume you are not fan of singer who are very not well knew lol

you meant this to me? so you mean im not a fan? and ayu is not really well known?

[mizuki-7]

^
No no I just say that Ayu situation is not alarming she has a lot of fans even today ^^ but personnally I'm fan of singers who are not very popular and it's really not easy to get their stuff that's all ! It's pretty easy to find all the stuff of ayu ! I hope you didn't took that as a blame it was not my intention =)
