I hear you and relate.

Its hard because all wikis aren't allowed to be seen to support the pirating stuff, and Zero-G and PowerFX have removed content from the wiki, so we're aware that we're not in control of things.

Fans tend to over react, there are still some people who won't go near, I think it was Circus-P, because of pirating.

I only bought Pokemon games because of pirating, so pirating got me into Pokemon. ITs the same for One Piece, but thats because 4Kids did a crappy dub and I had to look up the original Japanese, fell in love with it and I'm still a fan to this day. So my thoughts on pirating are mixed. The law in the UK also is lax about it, you can download whatever illegal stuff you want, they just don't like you selling the illegal copies, so I come from a country that has relaxed laws about things. Personnel use, isn't the same as selling things.

I know there are people who don't like the wikias anti-piracy rules, but it applies to every wiki sadly. I went to the Beyblade wiki earlier this year and found they uploaded an entire chapter of one of the mangas... Which is not allowed. Things like that tend to linger because there are too many wiki pages and not many staff, but you can't upload an entire chapter either way. It can be harsh because not everyone does things intentionally for bad reasons, I'm sure the uploader of the chapter didn't know you can't do that. I think the most they normally allow is a total of 10% of the content of a single chapter, which can amount from anything as 1 page to a handful of frames. Have't looked up the exact amount for a long time, but it doesn't give you much room to work with but enough that you don't have an entirely blank page.
