And would you be able to watch when you want if DVDs were available, which so many of you claim you would buy? No, you'd still have to wait (probably longer) for each disc to come out.

I wasn't suggesting anything other than people quit complaining to us.
But speaking of reality checks, why would Toei spend who knows how much money to have these episodes translated just "to kill the fansub" when a simple cease and desist would do the trick?

We all know a c&d without a viable alternative to the fansub would in 9 out of 10 cases go unheeded. Indeed, Rumbel have continued to sub Gintama after it being licensed for streaming via crunchyroll and phantom subs plan to continue subbing Hitman Reborn after getting a c&d to stop. In fact, since they recieved their c&d, about 3 other subbers have continued the show in defiance of the c&d's.

Anyone looking at L-E's dropping record would realize that a C&D would work with this group.
As for Rumbel they immediately dropped Soul Eater when being C&D:ed, and it works with many other groups as well. Some continue, of course. The world is full of people with different views.
Let's look at the stuff we keep working with instead of the past, lots of goodies out there! :)

With respect, if kaleyboy or anyone else wants to watch Galaxy Express 999, they have every right to watch the series of their choice and not watch an alternative instead.
Also on that note, to kaleyboy and everyone else thinking about pestering Live-Evil to try and make them change their mind - give up. I certainly know I'm giving up. I won't of course, let their edict in the face of Crunchyroll's "licensing" of the series stop me from trying to obtain Galaxy Express 999 episodes with English subs. But neither Live-Evil, Crunchyroll or indeed Toei themselves are either willing or able to do anything about letting people access the series in those few countries outside of the U.S. and Canada.
The only alternative that should be heartily recommended would be to obtain some way of masking one's IP address and circumventing either Crunchyroll's or Direct2Drive's website that way, signing up again through such a method, and simply grab the episodes yourself. It's clear that Toei simply doesn't care, and neither does anyone else. I know it's not fair that we have to jump through so many hoops to actually watch Galaxy Express, but there really is no other way, nor will there be in the future unless Crunchyroll pushes Toei to give them a worldwide license for the series, which is extremely unlikely since they've got so many of the big Japanese companies eating out of their hands due to their new region-locks, etc.
Therefore, I'd suggest that discussion here goes from simply complaining about the lack of Galaxy Express torrents to simply listing which borderline-illegal ways us Europeans can get remote access to Crunchyroll's or Direct2Drive's websites. I myself am looking at using Hide My IP, which is a pay program. However, let's face it, in the face of Toei's obstinacy, no price is too small to pay to get Galaxy Express! :)
If anyone has any other working methods, please let us know!

I guess I have to agree with you and hope that Toei sees the light and shows europe some love. Hope Harlock SSX continues here. . .
