ChibiDusk · 2004-03-28, 20:03

Wow, I am SO glad I didn't visit their site for the Yumeria release ^^"

This website has been issued an restraining order in order to terminate the dissemination of internationally copyrighted materials. In accordance with the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (17 U.S.C. s512(c), 17 U.S.C. s512(d), et. seq., hereinafter the "DMCA"), wherein a complainant has alleged that the web site(s) involved contains material that infringes on the valid copyright of the complainant. As a result a subpoena has been issued to the ISP in order to gain access logs for all visitors and site owners, as well as place an injunction on the functionality of the website to cease distribution.

Included in this effort to cease the distribution of these copyright materials, the "Bittorrent" tracking server(s), and all associated website(s), have been also terminated.

This is in part of a series of litigation performed by the U.S. Department of Justice on behalf of international copyright holders and U.S. Companies, including but not limited to "Bandai Entertainment (USA)", "Bones (JP)", "Gonzo (JP)", "Pioneer USA", "Sunrise (JP)", and "TV-Tokyo (JP)", "MBS (JP)".

A detailed list of offenses are listed:

18 U.S.C. 2318.

Trafficking in Counterfeit Labels for Phonorecords, Copies of Computer Programs or Computer Program Documentation or Packaging, and Copies of Motion Pictures or Other Audio Visual Works, and Trafficking in Counterfeit Computer Program Documentation or Packaging

Violation of Ar 14. of the International Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works.

(1) Without prejudice to the copyright in any work which may have been adapted or reproduced, a cinematographic work shall be protected as an original work. The owner of copyright in a cinematographic work shall enjoy the same rights as the author of an original work, including the rights referred to in the preceding Article.

(2)

* (a) Ownership of copyright in a cinematographic work shall be a matter for legislation in the country where protection is claimed.
* (b) However, in the countries of the Union which, by legislation include among the owners of copyright in a cinematographic work authors who have brought contributions to the making of the work, such authors, if they have undertaken to bring such contributions, may not, in the absence of any contrary or special stipulation, object to the reproduction, distribution, public performance, communication to the public by wire, broadcasting or any other communication to the public, or to the subtitling or dubbing of texts, of the work.

I was seriously wondering how long it would be until something like this happened.

ChibiDusk · 2004-03-28, 20:07

Man, does this mean we can get sued?
If we have fansubs on our computer?
They're tracking us >.<
OMG Im scared.

JAppi · 2004-03-28, 20:12

Sounds like a lame hoax to me. Why was their website taken down when all their torrents were on scarywater? It's just a lame april fools day joke. They're trying to make it seem more authentic by starting a little early.

To quote s0nicfreak "unorigional early april fools"

chibidusk, consider yourself an april fool ^_^

this is bad news, does this mean they'll try to shut down all the BT sites?

ChibiDusk · 2004-03-28, 20:14

2 so far...ehhh....anyone dare to check A-kraze?

edit: phew, still works.

I'm with you somewhat...like you said..all their trackers are still up...and so far it's only those 2....i've checked other fansub sites and they're still up...

but i don't know...i guess we'll have to wait and see for more info

ChibiDusk · 2004-03-28, 20:17

Omg...its happened.
The day all illegal content ceases to exists !
Is this some sort of TREND? When exactly were they shut-down?

Yamano667 · 2004-03-28, 20:17

Fansubs are ILLEGAL and this website could be sued too ^ ^
for many reasons ..no matter how you look at it we fansubbers are in a very dirty
business

I dont have enough money to pay half a million dollars or 20yrs in JAIL

ChibiDusk · 2004-03-28, 20:19

woot for me never finishing a project I start!!
I would have actually STARTED fansubbing

JAppi · 2004-03-28, 20:19

Well congratulations, your hoax has lasted a whole 5 minutes and you only fooled 2 people. I feel happy for you.

TronDD · 2004-03-28, 20:20

Kraze is still up. I'll go down the list on suki and see what's been shut down.

Looks like US distributes teamed up with the Japanese producers to stop fansubbing.

I guess they don't want to sell anime to me. I don't buy it if I haven't seen it. Especially at $25+ per 3 episodes.

anime-game-osts site worked for me. Maybe it is an early April foolsl joke.

ChibiDusk · 2004-03-28, 20:21

Huh, what are you talking about JAppi?
Are you talking to me...or?
Im confuzzled.

Dark Zero · 2004-03-28, 20:21

C'mon, AnimeJunkies should be the first group with such a page, as they the ones that got into the most trouble, legitemently. And their page is still up. So why groups that aren't host 'licensed' material? Seems like a joke, a poor one at that, but we will know in a few days.

I love that line though, this page i believe has the real info, and I find it hilarious about the part of 'international copyrights', so USA AGAIN takes matters taht AREN'T theirs to their own hands -_-

Yamano667 · 2004-03-28, 20:21
