Seems like ADV is on its usual rampage

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Community Anime Reviews : One Thread

If you have checked the mircx bt page and downloadanime.org, you will notice there's a sign saying ADV has requested them to stop distributing torrent mirrors to ADV licensed anime. In Downloadanime.org there's a list of the anime that will be taken off the BT page, one thing worth noting is that gantz is included in the list. However, animeonDVD or other anime sites never confirmed ADV's right on gantz, and as an admin from animesuki point out, ADV lost their license on sailor moon months ago, so there have been doubts on whether ADV knew wtf they're doing, questions regarding ADV's rationality lengthens since chrno crusade is not listed.

You can view the list at http://www.downloadanime.org/circuits/FWD%20Electronic%20Notice%20of%20Infringement%20-%20downloadanime.org%20downloadanime.org@domainsbyproxy.com.txt.

As much as I hate ADV right now, they are just doing whatever other company would do. Overall though this really does nothing another site will rise to the occasion and their are still plenty of sites that offer license stuff. All this is, is a mere setback. I usually don't buy anime until I see it. So what adv is doing, to me anyways, is causing me to not buy their stuff. My whole take on it is if they get it for free(japan) why can't we? They get to watch it on television and we got to pay 30 dollars for 3 episodes, or whatever the price is.

but yea i was also wondering about the contents of the letter, like why wasn't chrno crusade listed? The gantz issue, and I could care less about sailormoon but still brings up a good point on the matter.

You know what bothers me most is that in america we are not charged what a product is worth, but what the market will bear. thats why there is runaway inflation. This stuff is just not that expensive. I get fansubed copies of films all the time and whose name do you see as the distributor, big international companies who have bribed our congressmen and women to extend copyrights so many years it not even funny anymore fuck ADV fuck DISNEY, PIONEER, BMG and the rest of the crooked bastards too.
