How is sharing messages destroying what I like?

That comment of yours was completely unnecessary.

I never said that, as well as I never said it's right to share the media. But on AHS sharing the media if fine, sharing the TA magazine scans is fine (there's a thread for that), sharing the TA screensavers is fine (another thread for that), but I am destroying what I like by sharing posts? WTH?

Still, I respect other opinions, that's why I asked what other members from TA think, and I did say that depending on their answer I really would stop sharing in respect to them despite of what my opinion is, so could you please just respect my opinion when I say I don't mind sharing when I already said I would even stop doing that in respect of the others? And, yeah, saying stuff like "I respect it, but you are destroying what you like" isn't really respecting at all.

I'm just stating out to you about the effect of sharing. And I'm still different from you as I've been buying all her media release since 2000. Not that I'm rich but I've been saving up for her release since student till working stage. But I've decided to stop buying them as I've felt why should I continue buying when all those were made available online easier and faster? Even though I'm living in asia, yen is still a higher currency as compared to SGD. Sharing exclusive message in TA (which is the main reason why I've joined TA) kinda beats the purpose of me joining TA. I'm sure others have felt the same way. And if all of TA's exclusive (Yes, those messages are exclusive to TA. TA magazine I would excuse them as members get the physical item. Whereas messages are just messages in the club) were again to be made available easily, I'll drop off from TA too. You might think I'm making a big fuss out of this or trying hard to make these 2 connects. But in fact, it is related. Sales = income for the artist. May I know which company would fork out money for an artist that isn't making any profit? Esp avex which we're talking about. What is ayu's main income now? Mainly 5 aspect : concert, media release endorsement, merchandise and FC. Which all 5 are growing weaker by the day. So I hope you know what I mean. And seriously, it really isn't making a big fuss out of nothing...
