C&D notice

[Slash]

Hello everyone,

Earlier today we have received an e-mail in form of Cease and Desist letter from FUNimation legal department regarding violation of Digital Millenium Copyright Act.

d-rights Inc. (“d-rights”)has authorized FUNimation Entertainment to take any such enforcement actions on behalf of d-rights Inc.for the purpose of stopping copyright infringement.

d‑rights owns and controls various exclusive copyrights and trademarks related to the animated motion pictures known as Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, Nabari no Ō and Monochrome Factor collectively referred to as the “Properties”. Among the exclusive rights of d‑rights in the Properties are the rights for production and distribution of home videos, DVDs, and other home video formats and devices.

In the letter that we have received, it is explicitly said that d-rights has authorized FUNimation Entertainment to enforce their rights, therefore do not read this as an implicit announcement of FUNimation Entertainment's licensing of the said property. This is merely one company acting as a legal representative of another.

Just like with the most recent C&D notices for Romeo x Juliet, and Kaze no Stigma. We have already complied to the requests in the letter.

The following shows have been dropped. (And removed from our trackers)

Monochrome Factor
Nabari no Ou
Kateikyoushi Hitman Reborn

Awww, a shame about the letters and the lost projects but Nabari on DVD! \o/

Thanks for all of your excellent subs on these series

[Kinni]

Well that just sucks! But thanks for all the hard work on these while you did them

[Jai]

Damn, I'll miss Reborn. Thank you for doing it for this long though

[anne]

Dang! All three of those are awesome. I guess I'll have to wait for them to turn up on Netflix. Hopefully the DVDs come out quickly. ):

Well, that's a shame. Thanks for all the hard work put into these projects regardless!

Although I didn't watch it, it's a shame to see Reborn go. You guys worked so hard on that one for so long! Poor staff. <3

[Pada]

It's really a shame cause we were gonna do a batch release of new Mono and Nabari as we had just caught up a few eps on both ah well! so be it! A lot of the team will miss reborn too.

In good news expect a lot of projects to be caught up/finished within the next few days!
