Okay, Sakura Teodoro just told me it was pirated. Aparently, she didn't really know what "pirated" exactly meant.
Funny, we were both looking for Black Jack Special: Four Miracles of Life in Metrowalk this morning. When the stand finally opened, the girl told us they have it but the stock would only come in at 3:00. Naturally, we left. *sigh* We did buy Ray the Animation, though. When we preveiwed it, I got a real kick out of seeing BJ there.

You bought Ray the Animation? You could always just downloaded the whole series from Froth-Bite, that's what I did. That quite sucks that it's pirated, but oh well. Fansubs are technically illegal, like doujinshi/fancomics, but companies seem to tolerate it. Like scanlations they tend to actually promote series, and I think the popularity of fansubs/scanlations determine if the series will get liscenced or not. It happened with a lot of popular series such as Fruits Basket, Hikaru no Go, etc. I mean, they wouldn't want to liscence something that wouldn't click with the masses.

It's fine with me. I can watch it again and again! Besides, I don't have the time to download with such a slow connection.

You got that right. Terrible... Sakura Teodoro is so kind enough to let me visit and use the PLDT my DSL connection she has there! Real fast! 100 kbps! However, I still say PLDT has very bad service. You should ask her what they did. Plus, it's supposed to be 300 kbps! What happened!?

Well, a lot of friends I know who have it say it is hard to connect, and when you finally do connect, you get disconnected, etc. XD;
I dunno tho, I guess it depends on the area where you live? Don't quote me on that. Some people have had a good experience with PLDT myDSL so maybe it's a matter of luck too?
