Today in Stupid....
Jan. 19th, 2011 10:48 pmI wasn't going to post anything about this whole 'piracy of copyrighted material' debate, but let's just say: We in anime fandom are not new to the discussion!
If you think buying an e-book is bad, check this out.
The production company for Fractale, an anime series currently airing in Japan, was having the series simulcasted in the U.S. by distribution company Funimation.
After airing one single episode, Fractale's production company pulled Fractale away from Funimation, stating that silmucasts would not return until Funimation ended illegal copies of the show on the Internet. ALL ILLEGAL FANSUBS MADE FROM THE SHOW. EVER. EVEN THOSE MADE BY JAPANESE PEOPLE.
It is very.....WTF.
