The only way to truly solve this(and I hate to be a party booper but......they have to block all access to the internet in order to deliver the "goods" to places that need it to copy onto cd's or improve on the overall production. They would have to resort to hand delivery and make sure that the people there are trustworthy or don't have internet capablity.Then make plans to block all uploads from outside sources over the internet and have a practical internet watch dog to sniff out disloyal emplayees and hackers. Look, I've enjoyed anime and manga for more years then most of you have been alive or at least by a good 5-8year ratio. And all I see are kids that are thinking only about their enjoyment now and not of the consequences of their repeated self-justified actions. yeah, you may change the industry by said actions, but is it just for the benefit you and fellow Otaku or can the people that make a living enjoy the fruits of the labor and not just the fan base.

You don't realize that you are playing with people's livelihood and that means that they need money in order to live. I'm not just talking about the artist themselves, but the family they have to support,the company that has to pay the 35% to sponsors of that company,the building they work at, the producers, writers etc. Yeah, it would be great if anime were free, but your living in a fantasy world if you think artist that take the effort and work then give it for free. Then expect them to be able to support themselves or whatever family they are responsible for. And has anyone though about the poor Otaku's that have no access to the internet! For example, if you had a lemonaide stand and you fell asleep then unknown people kept stealing your product you made without paying...then later asking you to give it too them at a cheaper price and accomidate an easier method to get it at the price mentioned. Knowing that ur goals to get that bike are left behind to satisfy the customs selfish wants. I mean put yourself in that companies shoes(no really from a business/survival point of view for not only yourself for a minute).

Why bother pirating something if you can watch it instantly for free? Awesome idea. I'm glad they're doing this. Hopefully we'll see more anime companies doing this :D.

Really though, this was a step in the right direction until they (predictably) destroyed a good thing. Now, I don't consider myself an avid anime fan (I think the last full series I watched was Death Note, then Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu before, only because I read the books) but I still fully support the release of shows on the internet. After all, it isn't just that fans want shows they can't access, they want shows they can't <em>easily</em> access. The same applies for all television. Look at the torrent stats for shows like Top Gear. While the show is available almost everywhere, it isn't <em>easily accessible</em> almost everywhere. Pair that with the fact that it comes late, and that's why it is one of the most downloaded shows out there right now. People don't mind the ads, they(usually)don't mind the short archives, and if a company can license in your country, that limitation disappears entirely. What they <em>do</em> mind is having to deal with not being able to watch shows when they want. That's why I don't watch shows on television usually. Well, that and anime shows blow in dubbed form for the most part. Of course, this whole rant is pointless because they completely screwed themselves over...
