Wow, this news sucks. :(

The worst thing about it is even if we try to legally read manga they release over here there's no way they'll ever release everything so actually getting to read/watch a lot of manga/anime is going to be next to impossible. :S

I understand the necessity of it; it's just a painful realization to make. :\

Perhaps Piracy wouldn't be so big a problem if they just bothered releasing it overseas at an acceptable date. Japan isn't solving the problem, they just eliminate the only way people have to avoid the problem.

I don't think that they will be able to accomplish everything that they wrote down, lets be series they made a list of all the online streaming sites, and torrent sites, etc.
Close youtube, daylimotion, etc. with this they practically reduced there ratings to zero. It should be easier for them just to ban the internet there and they solved all there piracy problems.
