I think you misunderstand the issue.  It is not that the world is
starting to think MP3 distribution is illegal; it is that in most
countries, distribution of copyrighted material without proper
reimbursement of the artist is illegal and has been so since the
copyright laws were created.  What in the world do DVD players have to
do with this?  I don't understand your reference.
I reiterate, this is not "USA's selfishness."  If you wrote a song and
made a living selling it, to have people get it without paying you means
you are being robbed.  And then you go hungry.
Please note that I am not claiming moral judgment here (far be it from
me to do that).  I like free music, too, especially when the music is
not just expensive but rare.  Just stating the facts, though.

Because that part of Japanese was derived from Chinese.  Now imagine if
you suddenly liked a Chinese TV show, say, Chu Liu Hsiang, and wanted to
find web pages about it that you could read.  You'd really be screwed
then.  All kanji, all the time, baby.
Anyway, back to seiyuu topics.  Sorry for the departure.  Live long and
prosper.
