Pirating film's is a terrible offense that for the most part only hurts the industry. But are there times when piracy is not only necessary but can actually become a boon to a company? TheMoviePool takes a look at one industry thriving because of it.
On the whole, I just can't condone piracy, but I can see the point being made here. Anime really wouldn't have had much footing at all in the US if it weren't for piracy. Now they've managed to make a lot of money at it, and those pirates showed the companies what fans really wanted.
