We must admit selling bootlegs is profitable! A bootleg CD cost less than $3 can sell for $10. The bootlegger pockets $3 for each CD they sell to retailers. Since CDs are mass produced and sold in huge lots, just imagine the money they will be making. There are no copyrights to pay for so it’s 100% profit. What the bootleggers are doing is stealing.

Here in the United States, and especially in Los Angeles and New York, local law enforcement agencies have raided retail stores, flea market shops, and even private residence for bootleg materials but sadly none of the raids were for bootleg anime related merchandise.

Why is there a lack of  law enforcement against anime bootleggers?

·         There just too many “boots” out there, it’s tough to track. New unlicensed merchandise pop out every second.

·         Legitimate companies don’t want to spend the time and money to deal with the bootleggers.

·         Law enforcement agencies aren’t educated to spot “boots.” We can’t blame them. They have more important things to do.
