- harkondo, on 01/31/2008, -2/+56Last I checked, the anime community is one of the most loyal about actually buying the material to the extent that it is common practice in the scene to not distribute the material after its DVD is released. Anime companies actually check which ones are being torrented to gauge interest and decide what to release on DVD. It is actually the best-proven case of economically successful media sampling to introduce content and I hope the community is disgusted by Odex's actions.
- omghax, on 01/31/2008, -0/+51Guess who's not moving to Singapore.
- Emused, on 01/31/2008, -3/+48Fire up your "PeerGuardian"
- RandyAndy1, on 01/31/2008, -0/+39This is horrible news, I hate it when privacy laws are changed.
- chicoer2001, on 01/31/2008, -0/+32What were you expecting from Singapore. Once the uploaders are convicted, they'll probably get some lashings.
- Y0tsuya, on 01/31/2008, -3/+32Singapore is the ultimate expression of the capitalist police state.
- DeusNova, on 01/31/2008, -6/+27Will you digg users stop stereotyping anime fans, we're not ***** stupid. Thanks!
- jkizzle, on 01/31/2008, -1/+17too bad...
- inactive, on 01/31/2008, -5/+21I almost believed you for a second. Then I remembered of 4chan.
- moocow1452, on 01/31/2008, -2/+17Don't lash me bro!
- inactive, on 01/31/2008, -1/+15^ this guy!
- neocognitism, on 01/31/2008, -1/+14I told the police that all I saw were a bunch of file-sharing squeaky girls with huge eyes and no nipples or genitalia.
- Vich, on 01/31/2008, -1/+13People that enjoy littering and chewing gum
- Antialias, on 01/31/2008, -3/+15That gives about as much protection as a wet paper towel. If you're going to download stuff just realize that you're taking a chance no matter what you do to protect yourself. That said, I think it's stupid that we can't legally download shows if we have cable, or over the air stations for that matter.
- Pake, on 02/01/2008, -1/+12"Besides, why are all American teenagers so obsessed with this *****?"
Same reason people are obsessed with music, books, sports, or anything else. It makes us happy and keeps us entertained. - DeusNova, on 01/31/2008, -3/+13Stop correlating anime with fat depressed emo teenagers, we don't like those kind at all.
- xkingADROCKx, on 01/31/2008, -4/+14anime: where all the men look like women and all the women look like little girls.
- estacado, on 01/31/2008, -1/+10Hillary Clinton.
- Antialias, on 01/31/2008, -2/+11I don't care if it's got a trillion IPs blocked, all it takes is the fbi, police, RIAA, whoever getting 1 ip address that's not blocked and you're screwed. They know about PG, so if they're going to find people, they are going to use an IP not on the list. How hard is that to figure out?
- shredswithpiks, on 01/31/2008, -1/+10why does everyone do "!=" backwards!?
- andycr512, on 01/31/2008, -2/+11"People want to hide behind anonymity on the internet and they use that as a sheild to do a whole bunch of things they wouldn't do in the 'physical' world"
That may be true, but it isn't relevant here. You can't copy bits in the physical world. - iknowhtml, on 01/31/2008, -1/+9The anime community that has been around for more than a few years IS good. They watch fansubs, but they still spend their fair share on DVDs. It's the fricking newbies on the scene who are screwing everything over. They never buy anything and all they do is leech and whine.
Here's a quote of one such example after a series got licensed and taken down: "FUNimation r annoying the licensed everything let us watch the stuff evil FUNimation"- http://www.crunchyroll.com/showseries?id=1767 (bottom right comments) - theycallmebubba, on 02/01/2008, -2/+10True enough... unless you take a look at any of the hundreds that aren't like that.
I.e. - Ghost in the Shell, Berserker, DBZ, etc...
Just saying that because, whether or not you like something, to say it's ALL stupid or ALL bad is a great indicator that you have no clue what you're talking about. - Pake, on 02/01/2008, -0/+8Agreed. Seems like all the new "fans" (I refuse to acknowledge them as real fans when they won't help the R1 industry) think they are entitled to the series. Geneon USA has all but pretty much died thanks to this mentality and ADV is having licensing issues that are probably stemmed from this as well.

TCPView for Windows v2.53
By Mark Russinovich
Published: January 11, 2008
TCPView is a Windows program that will show you detailed listings of all TCP and UDP endpoints on your system, including the local and remote addresses and state of TCP connections. On Windows Server 2008, Vista, NT, 2000 and XP TCPView also reports the name of the process that owns the endpoint. TCPView provides a more informative and conveniently presented subset of the Netstat program that ships with Windows. The TCPView download includes Tcpvcon, a command-line version with the same functionality.
TCPView works on Windows Server 2008/Vista/NT/2000/XP and Windows 98/Me. You can use TCPView on Windows 95 if you get the Windows 95 Winsock 2 Update from Microsoft. - GeneralFailure0, on 01/31/2008, -2/+9Unless you have a machine which can copy physical objects by manipulating atoms, that comparison is not relevant.
Atoms != Bits - omghax, on 01/31/2008, -2/+9*reloads lists*
- coleki, on 02/01/2008, -0/+7because "general public" != "programmer" :P
- zmjone2992, on 01/31/2008, -4/+11which does diddly squat
- hamhat, on 01/31/2008, -2/+8Yah, alienate the anime fans..that will teach them a lesson.
- Gogogo111, on 02/01/2008, -1/+7You're on Digg. Calling other people nerds.
Thats an oxymoron. - BlueSkyfish, on 01/31/2008, -3/+9I agree with you about the generic crap like Dragon Ball Z or One Piece, but the high quality titles like Akira, FLCL, Cowboy Bebop, Wolfs Rain, Samurai Champloo, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Claymore are much better than most of the stuff you'd find on American TV.
- snotrokit, on 01/31/2008, -0/+5every day.
- Matt2k, on 01/31/2008, -3/+8> don't fight the online anime distributors -- work with them to figure out some sort of ad-supported scheme to distribute the anime
And if its ad supported, you download your adblock or strip them out
Admit it, the only thing that would really satisfy you is if artists worked for free, in the hope that one day you feel noble enough to throw them some scraps. - Elliuotatar, on 02/01/2008, -0/+5If you watched any anime, you'd know it has better written plots than the garbage which passes for most movies and TV shows, and that's because a lot of it originates from BOOKS.
- Travelsonic, on 02/01/2008, -0/+5Are you sure you don't mean the worthless trolls who contribute nothing but IQ lowering comments?
I.E you? - AvangionQ, on 01/31/2008, -5/+10These anime companies don't see a huge financial opportunity when they see one ... don't fight the online anime distributors -- work with them to figure out some sort of ad-supported scheme to distribute the anime ... then everyone profits and the anime is watched by a much larger audience ...
- lordtyros, on 02/01/2008, -0/+5If it's a broken argument, please go ahead and break it. I'm curious.
- duddy, on 01/31/2008, -1/+5Does hentai count?
- VortexSpin, on 01/31/2008, -2/+6You show your ignorance. Arbitrarily labeling any genre as large as anime like that is just dumb. There's too much variety, and until you've seen every anime out there you AREN'T an authority. What you said is the same thing as me saying rap is awful crap. You just can't say it.
So STFU. - cvh™, on 01/31/2008, -1/+5Does this mean that i have to buy all of my Pokemon episodes in English?
Damn you evil piracy laws!!! - bludragn0, on 02/01/2008, -0/+4"(mostly the stuff that makes it to Adult Swim IMO)"
I was going to digg you, but then i saw that - smergs, on 02/01/2008, -1/+5Agree with WhereAmI.
That said, the one time I forgot to turn peerguardian on I got a warning letter from my ISP for downloading a specific movie. - 1337Einstein, on 02/01/2008, -1/+5Pot calls kettle black.
- coleki, on 02/01/2008, -0/+4> some sort of ad-supported scheme to distribute the anime...
wait... like... TV? - simplistics06, on 01/31/2008, -5/+9You're such a retard.
- Travelsonic, on 02/01/2008, -2/+6Lemmie fix that,
"sorry, I deserve to be stereotyped because I have my head shoved too far up my ass to make logical judgement calls." - Jlaugh, on 02/01/2008, -0/+4If you take someones book they no longer have it. If you copy bits they still do. Sorry no matter how much you and the courts try to dress it up as theft it's still not morally theft.
- Travelsonic, on 02/01/2008, -1/+5Comparing dictator styles to anime just to "prove" anime is crap?
Damn, you are stupid. That's Apples to Oranges if I ever heard it. -
