A First :GDH.K.K Issue Fansubbers with C&D
GDH.K.K authorised FUNimation Entertainment to issue a C&D to Shinsen Subs on their behalf. The C&D was issued with regards to all torrents pertaning to the Romeo x Juliet series. The Funimation Entertainment legal department issued the C&D under the DMCA, eventhough FUNimation cliam that they, or anybody else, have not attained a licence for distribution in the US.
If this is the way things are going its bad news for anime fans, the Japanese companies could pull the plug on fan subs. Maybe not alltogether, but cirtainly at the level it is at the moment.
Weather this is a legal use of the DMCA is a matter for descussion.

As of yet No C&D's have been issued for other Gonzo animes. Shinsen also sub Kaze no Stigma and Seto no Hanayome and they have not been asked to remove them yet. Perhaps FUNimation are planning to licence R&J.
