To take this thread in a slightly different direction, I'm not sure Crunchyroll can beat the rippers, short of doing what Funi's done and start suing a list of John Does who download a specified episode release. I mean, the movie and music industries can't stamp out piracy and they have a helluva lot of dough to throw into that purpose - what chance does a niche streaming site have of achieving any kind of success when much larger industries have failed?


EDIT: Though, taking the thread title literally, Crunchyroll always beats the rippers because they release an hour after the episode is aired in Japan. There's no way anyone's ever going to be able to do that quicker.
