The argument of sharing and not sharing from TA is useless. We never know the circumstances of someone else's life so using the "but it's not even expensive" comment is not really viable, and there's stuff from TA that will always remain TA-only - lottery, magazine, goods, and so on. Photos and diary entries, things that are digital only? Personally, I don't see the harm in the fanbase sharing these between each other.

If you disagree, then that's fine too. But try to remind yourself that not everyone is so lucky to be able to afford the fanclub fee, or they need that extra money for other things, before saying words that may be harsher than necessary to fans who are outside of TA. More discussion is welcome but I do ask people to keep it with the above in mind.

Personally, my circumstances right now don't actually allow me to join TA (due to lack of a safe way to pay, luckily not due to lack of funds), although I have been a member in the past. I was happy to be a member but I don't remember ever becoming personally bothered that other people were sharing the digital TA exclusives. In the grand scheme of things, does it really matter?... I find there's much more important things to get upset over.
