Do you have anything to do besides trolling every CR post? Seriously.
I had been wondering if they were going to go the Hentai route. Kinda glad to see they aren't |

Makes me wonder if funimation and bandai will join up with cr as well. I mean who they going to listen to the minority of fans who dont use cr or the majority that do. I know they recently seaid they are fully against cr but then so were media blasters.

I've never been a huge fan of rewarding criminals. From what I understand CR has a build-in audience and system of revenue. This is attractive, yes. What message does this send the pirates and the fans of anime? This may disenfranchise a lot of loyal legit consumers, because it spits in all of their faces. It also empowers and enables law breakers. "Just pirate stuff long enough and make money from it. Once you are a good enough thief, we'll join you." CR to me would look 100% more legit if they would remove all unauthorized content, including things not yet licensed for foreign distribution. They will soon have a fairly tangible amount of LEGAL content. That should be enough for them.
Out of curiousity, do they have any kind of division or labels to help me tell what on their site is and isn't piracy? Like a "sponsored" or "authorized media" tag next to the anime name? |

No, that's an incredibly simple-minded and frankly stupid way to sum up what happened. |

I don't know. I really don't want to support Cruncyroll. I don't really care if they're trying to be more legitimate now, they spent years profiting off pirated content. I hate to support those people. In this setup though I have no choice but to do so if I want to help the anime industry. I can see why this works for them but it's a little disappointing it has to be this way.

Not going to happen. When the option is to either be legit or lose most of their vaunted fanbase (and by association, their income), money wins. Seriously, how many people would actually continue to use CR if all the unauthorized content disappeared? I'd be willing to bet on a fairly small percentage. |

Hmm, I wonder if they'll have the Japanese or English version of Angelic Layer on there, either way I wouldn't mind watching it.

This just gets weirder, and weirder. One of those "real life that's stranger than fiction" examples. Who ever said that crime doesn't pay must have died before 2008. How much longer can this zygot last before it miscarry's? That's what I'm watching for.
