As much as I am suppose to support the industry I can't even access the site from my area which is stupid. There are fans from other continents such as Europe maybe?! Oh well people complaining about the subs have a justification in doing so, this due to the fact that fan subs are of much higher quality than these people which make money from it, a prime example is CrunchyRoll and Funimation! Fan subbers put in more of an effort and they do not even get anything out of it, whereas these "Legit" sites can't be bothered to put quality on their subs, of course people will continue to rebel!

This has been said a millions of times but FUNimation is not a licensing company for the world, they are a US based company and gaining licenses to distribute outside of NA and other areas that they cover is expensive. Letting those from Europe access their videos would also possibly be a breach of their license which is why they block others out. Really this is an issue that should be taken up with the Japanese companies, not Funimation or any other license company.

Cool, so the Jaanes companies do know that illegal dwnloadnig happens outside of NA as well?! So they are attempting to only sort about 60% of the problem! Oh well, I have nothing to feel guilty about, I can't access it so I have no power but to do the downloading. Inevitable this stuff is going to happen it will never be stopped because people whic set up torrent downloading etc. will always be one step ahead!
