This is an absolutely incredible overreach. What's next, reviews on Goodreads? Fan forums discussing the latest episode of their favorite show? Articles talking about why a property should be handled carefully due to its content? Wikipedia? All of these places make money somehow just to operate, primarily through ad placement like this person's website. Where is the line?

    Fan-made sub translations?

    Fan-made sub translations?

    Strictly speaking they have always been illegal, it's just that nobody care because it's hard to argue for damages when an anime isn't commercially distributed in that region.
