Why the Rider and Sentai torrents are gone

[takenoko]

I'm sure you have a lot of questions. So do we. But for now, we've got to cover our asses and do the right thing

[Xirix]

Oh wow, that's shitty...

Well, at the very least, can just stick them on nyaa and other sites, just not have any actual torrent links on the TV-Nihon website, for the stuff that's been released anyway.

What's the stance on non-Toei programming?

[Lunagel]

Non-licensed non-toei is still okay at this point

[Monkeyjb1988]

I'm sorry you got hit like this.

Why suddenly, after all this time?

"You are not supposed to have non-licensed Kamen Rider and Super Sentai with Eng Subs" - Shikamura probably

[vasyear]

Hold on, can they do this if they haven't copyrighted super sentai in america?
Prehaps we could all club together and buy a Licence that would let Tv-Nihon host the torrents, its all about money at the end of the day and I will pay for it,
Would you guys be up for it?

[BlazeKing20]

So are you guys going to be uploading to nyaa or just stop completely

[dualvision1984]

I knew this day will come for the team. Damn it... why Toei and its big wigs are acting still like in the past. Still, I support the subs of this team.

I think you're vastly underestimating how much distribution licenses cost

[HowlingSnail]

So they didn't capitalise "super sentai series" or "kamen rider series", and they missed a space in "CopyrightInfringement".

You'll have to forgive me if I think that looks remarkably fake. It's not like Toei doesn't have English-speaking areas which can write a proper email. But if it is real, well, this is what I've been saying for years. People who support region-locked, DRM-ridden official releases have been working towards this situation, where only people in select regions of the world can watch the show in select ways. You know, like what happened before fansubs.

Still though, wouldn't be hard to stick stuff on Nyaa anonymously.

Who knows, even Saban used TV-Nihon's encodings when they first announced Super Megaforce, now if Toei are going to directly translate and release dvd/blu-rays like Shout Factory did or deals with say Netflix/Amazon then I'm more than happy to pay for Super Sentai, (don't watch Kaman Rider only seen 2 or 3).

As for Kaman Rider, they've started to release KA: Decade with full english subs on their Youtube page, i've watched it prehaps there going to do the same with Super Sentai and they are about to copyright it in the west and want to give TV-Nihon a chance to get out and safe before the law requires them to come down heavy upon the owners.
I mean, the west's passion with Super Sentai while it started with MMPR, it's been TV-Nihon that has brought it foward to so many people in the west, shout factory with all due respect to them had NOTHING to do with Super Sentai and Kaman Rider's standing its all been this site

Probabley but its an option still

they are about to copyright it in the west

Copyright is not a verb. You do not copyright something. As soon as it exists in a tangible, permanent form, it is protected by copyright. It's not a thing you file for. And for the most part it's international. All your posts are just showing you haven't the faintest idea about how rights work. And neither do I, but I dare say I know more than you do.
