They are new to concept of digital piracy aren't they. That or it's a clever way to get someone else to do all the work on enforcing their copyright for them

So are they they trying to push the blame of anime piracy onto american company's shoulders? By saying they can't stream until it's taken care of? It seems a little out there to say that somewhere in the WORLD there's illegal copies, so FUNimation has to suffer... I'm pretty disappointed. There's only so much that can be done, and it doesn't help when you're limited to the u.s.

I know that happens for CR, but last I heard Funi's video quality wasn't always that good (though this is just what I've heard, so...). Even for CR, they usually take the subs and put them on a better quality video, which, while bad, doesn't really seem like something worth canceling the simulcast over. |

I can't even begin to fathom the absolute retardation of this. |

Regardless of the source for the "illegal" streams and downloads, they won't stop. So why not get some revenue from the Legal sources? Sometimes Japan is extremely retarded. Oh wait, they are always retarded.

Gotta love these companies, they really know how to shoot themselves in the foot. I can understand wanting to get rid of illegal streams/torrents of the show, but why get rid of the legal alternative?

well japan never "gets it" they don't understand how things work in America, that people have been ripping their shows off TV and uploading them for years, Id assume they think people are taking it off Funimations player, because apparently no one ever torrents anything until now. If Funimation explains the huge piracy problem to them, and japan suddenly gets a come to Jesus moment and realized " oh, sh*t this has been happening!?! lets stop it" but Id assume they think its all Funi's fault, which its not, and its not fair. Things are just going to be harder to stop piracy. Untill then, admittidly I like to wait when a season is over before I get into anything, so Im fine waiting for the dvds and reviews

How could they POSSIBLY think that would accomplish anything positive? |

This is the most hilarious misunderstanding of how things work on the Internet ever. I suppose this means that since Funimation will never clean the Internet of ripped copies of Fractale, I now have to download fansubs instead.

It's almost as if they were trying to find a reason to put a stop to Funi simulcasting the show. Assuming Funi had to pay for streaming rights, would they still be forced to pay even though they arent allowed to stream the shows?
And I agree with everyone else, in that this is just like Sony trying to put the genie back in the bottle after the PS3 got hacked, it isn't gonna happen. |

Wait, wait, wait. Uh, what?
Funimation isn't being allowed to stream Fractale because Fractale can be illegally downloaded? First, why is it Funimation's responsibility to deal with the piracy of Fractale? Shouldn't that responsibility lie with the content creators? I hardly see how it's Funimation's problem when they did nothing wrong — although, I could understand how it would be Funimation's problem if this only dealt with the piracy of Funimation's stream, but that's not the case here. Second, how does removing the only legal avenue for watching Fractale going to help with this situation? Fractale can be illegally download regardless of Funimation's stream; how does stopping the simulcast rectify anything at all!? This doesn't make any sense whatsoever. |

Just to make sure I understood this correctly, Japan wants Funimation to take down every illegal stream of Fractale on the internet, not just the ones that were ripped from Funimation's website? |

We understand your frustration, but it should be directed towards the speedsub groups that created this problem.

It really does seem like passive/aggressive BS designed to blackmail Funi into being more aggressive, not that it will actually have any effect. They just don't get it. It's like trying to strain a can of soup spilled into an ocean. |
