suzaku_nomiko:
Choices are..
#1 learn Japanese and watch it raw.
#2 Wait for Viz to release and subscribe to their releases.
#3 Wait For the dvds to come out from Viz.
Elethiomel:
The first choice is out of my reach. The second choice is impossible because I do not live in the U.S.. There is a fourth choice.
To clarify: If nobody ever mentions it anywhere, nothing will ever be done about a problem. Now, again, I am not trying to get Live-eviL to change their ways. I have no power to do that. However, if some of Europeans and Oceanians and other English-comprehending people would figure out that because something is licensed for the U.S., and all the fansub groups thereby drop it, there are still a substantial number of fans who now have no way to watch a release - somebody might just cobble together a European- or Oceania-based group. Again, if a better venue for this discussion can be proposed, I would be happy to hear about it. That's an actual, not rhetorical, question
vegaman:
While yes, it isn't licensed in many other countries (I think it's licensed in Germany as well) it would be completely impossible to try to keep a release from spreading to countries where it is licensed. So live with it, it's not getting done by fansubbers anymore.
Tsubasa:
* Tsubasa jumps in to the conversation.
Yes yes, no US means end of world for us. ::)But release by a licensing company in the English Language in the Western Hemisphere means we drop it. Look forward to Viz's new 'innovative technology' ::)

Elethiomel:
Ah, Vegaman and Tsubasa - those were some of the things I was wondering about. Thank you for replying.
Vegaman: True. There's no way to keep it from spreading. I guess I was reacting to the "L-E follows US licensing" statement earlier in the thread. I apologise.
Tsubasa: Yeah, indeed. DRM is an ugly piece of business.
