It's a silly question, I know, but I'm curious. Do English-speaking raw providers live in Japan and rip the latest TV shows when they air? Or do they normally download the Japanese releases (presumably from PD/Share) and re-upload them as torrents in the English internet? DVD releases aren't a mystery but I'm wondering how the process for TV shows works and what percentage of anime get ripped and uploaded to the Japanese internet as soon as they air. Same goes for manga I suppose.
