Anime & manga piracy...

Illegally published mangas, anime DVDs, anime VCDs, anime OST CDs, do they also exist in your country?
Here in Indonesia it does. Very bad quality, though.

Not here (Netherlands) we've only got US import manga's, and some anime published here (mostly import)
Of course. I live in NY - so I guess it's pretty easy to find. I don't bother looking for them since it's cheaper to get bootleg DVDs online. I don't care much for anime OSTs and I haven't found any bootleg manga.

I live in NY. enough said. The piracy is off the walls here.
Well, you can find lots of piracy stuff in my place...XD
be it manga, anime vcd...i'm not sure...maybe there are other anime / manga stuff also.

NY also.
where i live (slightly north of manhattan) there really isn't any. but head on down to and CD/DVD shop in chinatown, and you can buy any of the HK imports you want.
anime OST's you can buy on ebay. the ones i typically see are legit, either imports from other countries (licensed in tah tcountry) or are domestic.
never seen a bootleg manga. probably costs too much to publish.
personally, i stick to fansubs till its licensed, then i head on over to suncoast or best buy and pick up a copy.
the ripped/illegal ones tend to suck...quality wise and translation wise.

In denver/boulder CO, i haven't seen it.
like i could download stuff? does that count? but other than that no. its a very 'mall' type of area so that doesn't happen.

Here at my place, you can get mostly is anime VCDs. You can identify them easily how bad the quality when you put into your player. Before they are get licensed, fansub is always good for me.

Over near toronto canada, don't see much or of any for that matter. although i wouldn't be surprised if there were a few in chinatown or anything. i'm not really a fan manga so i wouldn't know
Talk about pirated anime VCD...the one i bought is as good quality as the original one. maybe since it only cost half of the original price...dunno...but the shop sells pirated vcd in the mall openly...even labeled as original! can't believe it...but,because i'm out of money...i get my anime from that shop XD
I live in the USA. They're going crazy with piracy over here.

Unless I search online, I rarely find stores around here with pirated anime. 
I do see pirated OSTs a lot, but those I see mostly at anime conventions that I go to.
Maybe I'm just lucky that I only find bootlegs online? ^_^;

Nahh. not that i know of at least. if i'd go to berlin, maybe there, but not where i live( a little town next to berlin) but if the net counts, then yes.^^
In singapore, i only know of a shop selling pirated anime VCDs and DVDs. the cost of those animes are only less than half of the originals and many people are buying them.
