People may not realise my opinion on recasts as I have yet to make it public (I'm against it, in case you're wondering.)
I was reading my way through one of Melbourne's newspapers when I came across this article. I read it, the topic is on illegal movie downloads, but I think what is being said needs to be considered in relation to the recast argument in our doll collections.
I think everyone needs to read this article, I know most who are pro-recast will probably dismiss it with a comment along the lines of "but this is movie downloading". Sure, if that's the way you think, I'm not going to be able to stop you. However, the same attitude which is employed to justify illegal movie downloads is used to justify buying recasts.
And the other thing to keep in mind is that while there are some simply enormous companies which make movies, there are NO simply enormous companies who make BJDs. Most of them are small companies and quite a few of them are tiny companies.
36,000 Bloody illegal downloads
And really... what excuse can genuinely make buying an illegal copy of something and undermining the hobby that we all love right?
