This idea is not new or innovative by any chance. I believe someone did mention it before in one of the threads here. Basically, a portion ($200) of our donation reserve funds will be designated to purchase authentic Super Eurobeat / Initial D albums. Albums will be shared within the community upon arrival.

We will sell back the album to the community 7 to 14 days afterward. One lucky member will be able to purchase the album for half of the original price. A raffle ticket system will be installed for this to select the lucky member. The member must be on the forums for at least one (1) year and have more than 100 posts. (Exceptions accepted depending on the situation, i.e. you have contribute a lot but only one month shy of one year membership.)

It is a win-win situation. Everyone gets to listen to the music and one member can obtain the album for half of the original price. This is to encourage those who complain about the pricey tag for SEB albums to actually start buying them. However, leeching will be inevitable. We plan to do the initial three albums a free for all kind of thing. (That means even guests can get them.) After that, we might start to increase the minimum requirement to 10 posts in order to obtain these songs.
