Press release:
http://www.animeondvd.com/news/pr.php?pr_view=915
Oddly one of the companies that listens to fans the least (many rank Viz Media among the "bad" studios that don't do things "properly", including not translating opening and ending songs, overlays and having insanely slow release schedules for pretty long series like
Full Moon wo Sagashite) is trying to please the fansub downloader... or so it seems, as they've secured the download rights to Death Note. They probably have the DVD rights too, but that's not specifically mentioned.
Anyway, feel free to discuss this topic in this thread.
And as always, any discussions about where to download the Death Note anime are no longer allowed as of now.
