The hypocrisy here is just... outstanding. It's ok to pirate peoples' work as long as they aren't part of the process community? Is that the point you're trying to make?

Okay, your comparison is stupid, and I'll tell you why:
The BE from these movies, tv shows, and anime clips usually take up only a few seconds of the entire work, maybe a minute or two at most. For the most part, only clips of the BE scenes themselves are really posted here, so if we're interested in the movies, tv shows, etc. themselves, we'd still have to find the full version legitimately. Honestly, why buy an entire movie that has only a single scene we have any interest in? The thing is, mainstream movies and so on that just happen to have a BE scene or two will have audiences
outside of the BE community who will buy the movie or whatever on its
own merits, rather than a single scene.
Process Community material, on the other hand, is meant
entirely for BE. It is highly unlikely that anyone else other than us will ever have any interest in buying them, so if we pirate those, there will be absolutely no money to be made off of them. No business is made, the business goes down, and BE content goes bye-bye.
Remember Mood Boobs? Unlike the movies whose clips are posted here, there was no other audience for it; any money that was to be made off it was to come from
us. So many people pirated it that its pretty much a given that no BE-centric movie will ever be made again. So to some of us, its a big deal.
