Herein lays the problem!
Several attempts have been made to establish the English language as the official language of the U.S. Each and every time this notion has been dismissed. If the U.S. government will not accept the English language as its official language then how can fan subbed anime using English subtitles be considered an infringement of anime titles licensed by U. S. companies?
