So, I bought some stuff on DLsite last year and few months ago, the seller basically close shop and removed all of his products from shelf.

Here I thought that this doesn't concern me since I already what they sell in my account. Turn out once the product has been removed from shelf my copy will no longer accessible I shit you not.

And they say piracy is bad when playing by the rules get you screwed.

Digital license =/= ownership.

460 yen is $2.91 right now. The cheapest manga on a shelf I can find is $10 at Barnes and noble. I don't know as well with digital, but it's usually $7-$9. I can bet the money I save by not being able to buy the manga I want because they copywrote it and kept it digital that they also use machine translation for the legal translation

When I went to Japan, in any book shop you could buy like 5 volumes of a manga for around 5 bucks, I got Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu for almost that. Its actually pretty cheap to buy non-digital.
But then when you try to buy something translated, holly shit, anything in Spain brought by those "big" companies, for only a volume it could go for more than 15 bucks.

The usual price for manga volumes here in Spain ranges from 8€ to 15€ (at least from what I've seen)... :notlikethis:
But well, I'm kinda thankful there are stores like Fnac that offer discounts to members (even their 5% discount is nice to have if you constantly buy books and manga volumes like me...)

Companies hate this one trick! Did you know a lot of libraries have manga sections and you can check them out, for free?!
