Just so you guys know, I looked into this, and a troll named TheGame400 made that "madman-ent" and lives in the United States. So it's safe to assume Madman didn't create that account. |

This is so lame. People need to stop doing this crap. I don't care how you get it, making something illegally available on BitTorrent does not make you Robin Hood.
Hopefully the Toonami dub will still premiere as scheduled. |

Many anime productions do not rely on tv ratings, so they have nothing to do with them not getting a 2nd season. |

My point is that Madman did not intentionally do any harm. Were they stupid and incompetent? Maybe. But the person who stole the file intentionally did something wrong. Madman was just incompetent. Whether it's just as bad or not is up for debate. |

It should be mentioned that the leak has made its way to Japanese streaming sites too. None of the leaks from last season managed this so there is arguably more damage this time around. |

The leaks are nothing more than publicity stunts to drum up attention to the series. I don't even know why they are news worthy anymore.

I doubt leaks of episodes of a TV show on the internet would affect its broadcast run. It would probably take something far more severe than that for a sudden change in a TV broadcast schedule planned out months ago (not that I'm saying the leak itself isn't at all problematic). |

More to the point, there's a difference between forgetting to lock your front door and making it a policy never to lock your front door because you think no one else but you knows how to turn a doorknob. |

Well, that's unfortunate. You'd think Madman would keep this stuff on offline servers until shortly before it's going to be made available.
Anyway, while I usually watch anime subbed and prefer it, I'll be watching the world television premier of this dubbed. I might check out the sub later on for comparison, but as long as I can remember to tune in, I'll be watching it premier "live" each week. |

Dude the person from madman is bragging about in the nyaa.se thread for crying out loud. It was intentional to say the least and before you ask why i'm on torrent site, yes I do torrent anime. However this is irrelevant to the case at hand. Also Daiz is going to have a field day with this one.

Later today I think I might just break into my neighbors house and take his DVD collection. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm not a thief or anything! It's just that he has a really bad home security system and always leaves his backdoor unlocked. If anything it's his fault for being so negligent. Honestly, I'm the good guy here!

A person can justify anything if they use a bad analogy like you just did. |

Hmm, no, that's still not quite right. Madman paid for the rights to stream it, not just watch it for personal use. In the analogy, just copying a guy's DVD collection doesn't affect his ability to continue to watch his own DVDs.
But either way, the point he was making was that it's just silly to say "I am justified in doing anything if you make yourself vulnerable." |

Well this isn't good for the companies (and the fans intending to watch it the legal way) involved. The show has been hyped up as this huge worldwide premiere and now that's blown. Can't have nice things anymore.
I'll be watching Space Dandy in English on N. American television (this coming from a patron that primarily consumes English subtitled streams and then purchases unsubtitled JP BDs) so this will be exciting and new to me. |
