I believe bootleg anime/manga is so popular because most of it's viewers are young.
These kids don't have the money to go out and get jobs.
Also, alot of parents are nonsupporting of anime.
I've spoken to plenty of kids who's parents think anime is the devil.

Rather then dropping jobs perhaps they should lower prices.

I don't think that production of anime will ever come to a dead stop because it's so popular.

The best thing non-bootleggers can do like yourself MMM, is introduce more people to anime/manga.
We all have those friends that think anime is the most stupid and childish thing in the world, try convincing them otherwise by introducing them to one they'll like.

One thing I do when I get stuck baby sitting someones monster, to make it settle down I pop in some jumpy happy anime.
They love it.

The more people that watch anime the more people that buy it.
