Obama's team has basketball skills
Is this funny or what? Obama picks basketball buddy to be education minister. Does he qualify for the job or does he qualify for the basketball tournament? |

Sounds interesting.. Worshipping the US president-elect as a "deity".. Perhaps, Obama will be the man who is capable of changing the direction of the US, as well as reshape it's country's foreign policy. If successful, he will certainly replace Haruhi..

Japanese fansubber gets two year jail sentence:
A man who added custom subtitles to a pirated copy of the movie ‘Wanted’ and uploaded it to a file-sharing network has been sentenced. Kazushi Hirata, who uploaded the movie in advance of its Japanese theatrical release, received a 2 year suspended jail sentence. “The conviction sends an important message about the illegality of movie piracy,” said Jimca executive director Yasutaka Iiyama adding, “Respect for intellectual property rights is critical to Japan’s economy and cultural identity.” http://torrentfreak.com/wanted-p2p-p...s-jail-081217/ |

At least it was an actual act of bootlegging and snagging a PRE-RELEASED film that got him. The headline is a bit misleading in that it was really the "advance release" ... basically it was an inside job if it was not yet released.

But aren't all anime fansubs "pre-release" for the US market? I mean, what's the difference between this and subbing The Girl Who Leapt through Time and uploading it before it comes out in American theaters?

No, unless you're really torturing the use of the word pre-release. Prior to being offered *anywhere* publicly, this guy snapped a copy. Otherwise, where are my R1 DVDs for Petopetosan? Or a dozen other anime series?
Basically, I could have flown to Japan and seen TGWLTT when it was released. I could not have seen the film at the time he snagged it - it had not had a public release. I understand we disagree somewhat on fansubs ... still waiting for an industry solution that answers my desire to do for anime what I do when buying any other DVD (movies, series, etc): be able to watch it so I know I'm buying something worthwhile.
