Are you legally retarded? Furthermore, Why the fuck do your parents let you, a minor who still GOES TO HIGH SCHOOL, work until 11pm? Do you do *any* homework? (Judging by your spelling and grammar, I would surmise the answer is a resounding "NO")
There are only 4 Ranma videos. You can forget Urusei Yatsura. (Oh wait- they have Beautiful Dreamer; Who doesn't?) At least they have SOME of Tenchi. Ah My Goddess?
You know why they don't have what you like? Because you like some of the shittiest anime in existence. Ranma? I've never heard of anyone over 12 that likes that piece of shit. 'Beautiful Dreamer'? Uhh.. sure. Don't even get me started on 'Ah My Goddess', the anime series for women and gay men.
Grow some fucking balls and get some taste. Until then, keep your mouth shut.
When Thomas Jefferson put the idea of intellectual property into the Constitution of the United States, he did so because he realized that information leaks; once people learn something, they can reuse that knowledge. If there was no protection to intellectual property, people would not be encouraged to share knowledge with others. Writers would not write, inventors would not invent, artists would not . So in the US Constitution, it says:
Congress shall have the power [...] To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;
The reason why this is important is spelled out in Jefferson's own writings:
If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it...He who receives an idea from me, receives instructions himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me. That ideas should be spread from one to another over the globe, for the moral and mutual instruction of man, and improvement of his condition, seems to have been peculiarly and benevolently designed by nature... Inventions then cannot, in nature, be a subject of property. His assumptions are based on the fact that you can not control what people do with information that you give to them. If you hand someone a book, they can transcribe it. If you give someone a physical invention, they can disassemble it. But if you give them a new form of media, say, a song on a copy-protected CD, and they can no longer listen to it except on approved devices that they cannot copy from, why should the government provide the same protection to you? The record companies and movie studios want to have their cake and eat it too. They want traditional copyright protection, technological copyright protection, and a government guarantee of technological copyright protection. They want to deprive all those bearded Linux hippies their DeCSS, so they can't watch bootleg Buffy the Vanpire Slayer DVDs in their parents' basement. But if they have technological protection, then why should the government give them traditional protection? It was only there because information was hard to protect as property.
How far are we going to let the copyrighters go? We need to remind people that copyright, like most laws in the US, is a balance between two forces, and the scale should not be tipped too far to one side.
Did you even see the link to the site in his post?

WTF are you talking about? He said "I read that...." and then put a GIANT FUCKING LINK to DotGNU (the site where the Stallman interview is).
Quit karma-whoring and do something useful.
Maybe they'll be able to help me out at the meet.

Maybe the people at the DotGNU meet will be able to help me out. You see, I use GNU/Linux and can't get a girlfriend, no matter what I do. From what I can tell, not too many of you have girlfriends either; I must make it clear right now that I do not want advice from you. I am seeking the advice of those who have consentual, regular, heterosexual intercourse with a well adjusted woman.
You may be wondering why I placed so many restrictions on the type of sexual intercourse. Being a GNU/Linux user, I can get all the men I want, but my ass hurts from years of anal sex. I am tired of pillow-biting. I have met women at Linux User Groups (LUGs) but they didnt want sex the way I wanted it - they brought their strap on and rode my chute like the men did. The date would end with her taking me to a gay bar and selling my ass to a drunk and bearded kernel hacker.
I am convinced, therefore, that I need to meet women that do not use GNU/Linux.
I have tried dating regular women, but find it hard to make conversation. I was surprised that regular women do not give a shit about Free Software or the Microsoft monopoly which leaves me with nothing to discuss. Some women tried to talk about the weather, but I don't keep up with the weather from my mums' basement.
I have had some success, I dated one girl several times. She picked me up from home, mum liked her. I am sure dad would have too, but he left us soon after I installed Slackware on the family computer. I can still hear him crying and see him moping around the house, saying "I knew he was different; I could handle a gay son, but this.... a fucking GNU/Linux hippy". He sounded so defeated. She wanted to go to the beach, but my skin is not adjusted to the sun and my skin peels while at the beach. This was not a turn on for her and when she came back to my mum's basement that night we were going to have sex but the raw skin was too much for her.
Going out at night for a meal can be difficult too; all restaurants refuse to serve smelly GNU/Linux hippies. The only place we can go for food is the McDonald's drive through, but she doesnt like waiting in her car in the heat of the day when I tend to smell the most. She doesn't like the stares she gets from the drive through staff.
Some of you might be interested in a related study (published in Nature ) which made headlines last summer.
Summary:
Dr Freda Miller and colleagues at the Centre for Neuronal Survival and the Brain Tumour Research Centre at the Montreal Neurological Institute, McGill University, have isolated stem cells from the dermis of adult rodents that will proliferate and differentiate in culture to produce very different cell types- neurons, glia, smooth muscle cells, and fat cells. These novel stem cells, SKPs, were isolated from the skin of juvenile and adult rodents -- an accessible on-embryonic source. Human studies have indicated that similar cells are present inadult human skin. "We believe our discovery is important as we have identified an exciting new stem cell from a non-controversial source that holds considerable promise for scientific and therapeutic research," says Dr Freda Miller.
The media publishing industry (RIAA, MPAA, etc) needs to take heed, and follow in Circuit City's footsteps. They need to be taught a lesson along the lines of "The quick eat the slow"...by failing to adapt, adopt, and embrace new technologies, they miss out on revenue streams or fail to capitalize on them in a timely manner. Take MP3. Actually, lets take Vorbis now, since it's royalty free (thus depriving yet another revenue stream). Any given schmoe now has the capacity to inexpensively collect and redistribute unsigned music, make a profit off the distribution, and in the process allow the bands a promotional outlet which will increase their performance revenues. Anyone know the figures on income from record sales, performances, airplay royalties, and licensing? And how do we contrast that with costs for distribution, promotion, and other expenses?

So, which one were you when you apparently watched this series?
Who says I watched it?
