I am just curious as alot of anime are being ripped of crunchyroll by horriblesubs, what kind of consequences will we have in future? I think japan gonna issue total ban on any fan sites which is kinda gay cuz crunchyroll sucks balls. does anyone have any thought on it

[nishi]

you sir are over thinking, even if horriblesubs gets banned, simple thing of opening a new site under a new name, this shit never ends.

Japan has no rights to ban sites hosted outside of their country. Although they can request takedown of media on sites through DMCA (if their liason/licensing group requests it and has the right to do so in their host country), they cannot ban anything.
Stop worrying.

I like japanese animation (and to an extent manga too. I have to follow up when an anime title ends before its time). In fact, I love anime!

That said, I am also just as "bad" as the rest of you. I must have a hundred seperate animes, with subsections as to different storylines in the Gundam franchise for instance. In may be much, it may be little, it depends on where you stand I guess.
Buying the series can be expensive, and I think not even me can buy all of it. But think about buying your absolute favorite show, at least a couple. Support the industry that showers us with the shows that we have come to love and depend on. I think one way anime's end before the manga story cane be just because of what we do. Getting it for free, we don't show the producers our interrest and they earn too little to want to follow it through. Just a though guys.

I now have the following on my shelves, and it will slowly expand as I can afford it: Bleach (three first box sets anyway), Ghost in the Shell SaC S1, 2 AND movie (Solid State Society), Wolf's rain, Chrno Crusade, Ah! My Godess S1 (Box set of S2 comes in december, I plan to send my order at that time ) and I am now in the process of getting Naruto. I guess Shippuuden will have to finish before the box sets become available, otherwise I'd get those too.

There are more favourites that I'd want to add if they were available, but I have not found them, at least not in european/UK market. Oh well, that's beside the point really. Just... think about it, will ya!

piracy will never end
so don't worry

The Dark side has been mentioned as has the Light side of this Piracy now for the Grey.

Two thoughts here,

A) Not every Anime makes it to your personal country. (And the fan-subs are usually better anyway...)

B) As long as you delete it after you watch it's just like having watched a regular TV show, you know since you "forgot" to have you Tivo/DVD-R/VCR record that episode/series for you... (Yah, I'm not sure how to explain that better. ^^; )

crunchyroll kills the fansubs by licensing many animes that's the part of what i hate, luckily there is horriblesubs that rips anime from CR.

I hate crunchyroll because even if get a paid account there, i still cant watch shit because they're not licensed in my country. The only way to get anime is by downloading it illegally.
