Anime file sharers arrested in Japan
(Man, I seem to be linking to Zepy\’s blog a lot for anime news)
If this means fewer high-quality raws for fansubbers to use, we might be in for a bit of a dry spell :/
What particularly annoys me is that so few studios have even bothered to offer a viable alternative to fansubs (Gonzo is the only one I can think of off the top of my head, and like hell I\’m watching anything they put out).
Maybe other companies don’t want to risk themselves streaming their content in the Internet because of potential lower DVD sales or crap.
I know a lot of people wouldn’t buy original DVD shit (no matter if you tell them about quality and all that) because all of it is in Youtube :/
