(It's a little early, but I'm gonna be out for a few days).
A list of people I should thank:
Artists - Sure, they probably don't want my thanks for distributing their pirated works, but they have it anyway.
Scanners - These people really don't get thanked nearly as much as they should. Hell, I'm sorry to say that 99% of the time I wouldn't even know who to thank. So, my thanks go out to all you scannners everywhere.
Translators/Decensorers, etc. - Particularly the ones who do it well and especially the ones who do it for free (and I'm not just saying that to toot my own horn; also, I still believe commission translators provide a valuable service).
Commissioners - Alright, when someone treats me to dinner, it might be polite to compliment the cook, but who I really make sure to thank is the friend or relative who payed the bill. Commissioners, you pay for my porn. Thank you.
Middle-Men - Bloggers, forum admins and uploaders, p2p file sharers and so on. Like WalMart they provide one stop convenience, but unlike WalMart, they provide me with porn for free. Kudos.
And lets not forget the consumers, particular the ones with a gracious word every now and then, but all you lurkers and leechers too, thank you (it's okay, I lurk and leech a lot too). After all, what good is a performance without an audience?
So thank you all and have a merry christmas/chanukah/annual-secular-gift-exchanging-day or whatever it is you do this time of year.
