“Anyway, I know, copyrights, and company losses are behind this move. But, out of curiosity, I took a look at one, only one Korean agency, hated all around the world – SM Entertainment. http://www.smtown.com/ir/ir_03.aspx
As you may see, their profit went really up those past 3 years. despite music, DVDs and all being pirated. Why, because damn loyal fans download the album, and then purchase it!!
I don’t buy the excuse of company losses. Especially in Korea, when they pay artists 0.00001 cent from each album sold (well this is an exaggeration, but you get my point).
As I said – loyal fans will always spend their money on merch, whatever it is.”

“I would not have coughed up 150 euros to buy a damn You’re Beautiful Director’s Cut DVD had I not downloaded and watched the show first. Neither would I have bought movie DVDs or bags and watches based on anime.
With Hollywood, you can at least rent the movie and buy it IF you like it. But how are we supposed to know if we WANT to buy an asian drama or movie? Just spend hard-earned money without knowing what you’re buying?”
As I said myself in the post “Why isn’t more Japanese and Korean dramas aired on international TV?” I myself bought the Japanese drama Koukou Kyoushi (1993), this AFTER I had watched it by obtaining it online, with English subtitles done by fans. The DVD on the other hand does NOT have English subtitles.
The other day I did actually send an e-mail to Swedish TV4, TV3, and Kanal 5 asking them about why they doesn’t show and Japanese or Korean dramas.
I haven’t gotten any reply yet, from none of them.

Here’s a tip for the do-it-yourself crowd:
Go to your computer’s Start menu, and either go to “run” or just search for “cmd.”
Open it up, and type in “ping [website address],” Once you have the IP for a website, all you really need to do is enter it like you would a normal URL nd hit enter/press go. Typing in “208.85.240.231” should bring you to the front page of AO3, for example, just as typing “174.121.194.34/dashboard” should bring you straight to your Tumblr dashboard.
Since we’re obviously bracing for the worst case scenario which would involve you not being able to access the internet regularly, you should save this list.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has died at the age of 69, state-run television has announced. Kim Jong-il, who has led the communist nation since the death of his father in 1994, died on a train while visiting an area outside the capital, the announcement said.
He suffered a stroke in 2008 and was absent from public view for months.
His designated successor is believed to be his third son, Kim Jong-un, who is thought to be in his late 20s.
North Korea’s state-run news agency, KCNA, urged people to unite behind the younger Kim.
“All party members, military men and the public should faithfully follow the leadership of comrade Kim Jong-un and protect and further strengthen the unified front of the party, military and the public,” the news agency said.
A funeral for Kim Jong-il will be held in Pyongyang on December 28th and Kim Jong-un will head the funeral committee, KCNA said.
Mr Kim’s death will cause huge shock waves across North Korea, an impoverished, nuclear-armed nation with few allies.
The announcement came in an emotional statement read out on national television.
The announcer, wearing black, said he had died of physical and mental over-work. A later report from KCNA said Mr Kim had had a heart attack.
South Korea’s military has been put on alert following the announcement and its National Security Council is convening for an emergency meeting, Yonhap news agency reports.
Asian stock markets fell after the news was announced.
I had to make a post about this. Keep spreading the word.

Totally about 15.000 lightning-strikes were registered within 24 hours.
I’m so happy I was not there, I hate thunderstorms. They are so scary.
Loud and you don’t know where the lightning will strike.
