Seriously you kids need to wake up...who cares if you don't see the last 2 eps until it officially gets released...You people need to think about the people who can and will possibly get into some MAJOR trouble because of them continueing to fansub...Does a court case and fraud like thing seem like an amusing thing to you? It must be since a lot of you are telling Kuro-Hana fansubs to ignire ViZ's letter and finish fan-subbing Death Note.

They are doing the right thing by themselves and by ViZ.

We don't know why ViZ has suddenly taken such heavy handed tact with this now...Maybe because they aren't getting the money in from people purcahsing their merchindise and instead going for the much cheaper opt and buying bootlegged stuff. Which never helps since that could can create a LOT of problems for the licenser and it also means you are NOT supporting the Japanese creator.

The people at ViZ work DAMN hard to get interesting titles and work hard at translating them (even if its not the best) and releasing it to the masses who may not be able to readily buy from outside their own country let along city.

You have to remember that everyone at ViZ have mouths to feed whether its just their own or a family, they do still have to survive...And still the fact lies...fansubs ARE ILLEGAL!...as are scanlations.

Boycotting ViZ isn't a good idea either, this could possibly set them into a bad place where they MAY have to lay people off of work becaue they can't afford to pay them...It may also land them financially in greater difficulty and force them to go out of business but still holding rights over the titles they have...Which in turn means you will all have to wait until their contract is up, or if they decide to sell it off to someone else to continue or start from the start again.

You dick heads need to think before you make stupid comments like "ignore ViZ" and "boycott them!"...Cos its is not helping the fansubbers cause or your own.

Whether they are able to make quick work and get the last ep done by the 22-06-2007 so people can see it or whether they decide to not and just go about removing all traces of Death Note from their site you all should continue to support them as best you can and also support the people who work hard to license stuff so it is easier to get hold of.

Cos unlike me some people do not have the means to buy from overseas, or they can but it is VERY expensive.

I also know that many of you even if you are a fan or not will most likely NOT replace the fansubs with the DVD...You are NOT supporting the creator at all by doing this...This whole thing really disgusts me and irks me to no end. Grow up people...This is how the world works...this is how business goes.

[edit]
...So it continues...Seems that there are suddenly 3 new groups who are going to do fansub the last 3 eps....Also there seems to be a troll on the Kuro Hana site writing some very nasty comments to people.
