…I can’t be the only one who buys original releases because I LOVE COLLECTING STUFF and BEING ABLE TO HOLD THE REAL THINGS GIVES YOU THAT HARD-TO-EXPLAIN FEELING, right?

But those things are freaking expensive, so you don’t have to buy them if you don’t want to/don’t have the chance to. You’re not obliged to buy them. I don’t understand why you made it sound as if buying their stuff is “mandatory” or something? It is not.

We can support them silently too, you know.

I do understand what Anon wanted to say.

In every fandom there are fans who complain when others don’t buy products, because they think they don’t support the group. And I totally disagree, as you said, everyone is free and not everyone is able to purchase every release. No one should feel bad because they don’t buy CDs &co. So no Anon, you don’t have to buy if you don’t want to, don’t worry.

For the collecting stuff, you’re not the only one xD But I do understand anon, ‘cause I’m not the collecting type. I have few CDs when I really wanted to have a copy, or when I wanted my purchase to be counted (and I wanted a copy). For example I bought ABC-Z 1st album and Busaiku’s 1st single, because I love them and I felt those products were special for those group. I wanted to be counted. But now it’s not going to happen. I will choose my next purchase only if I reaaally want it xD

And Anon never said he will never buy anything again.
