The CrunchyRoll Funding Story Takes a Turn

We were the first to write about the CrunchyRoll $4.05 million venture capital round last month. The good doctor Tony Hung took a look at CrunchyRoll and went deep into the copyright and believes that CrunchyRoll is a "legal landmine." 

Hung is back tonight with some excellent research into the fansubbing community on CrunchyRoll. CrunchyRoll members don’t just upload videos, they also subtitle them and this is called "fansubbing". Apparently the community isn’t happy with the success that CrunchyRoll has received and the round of funding and have begun to show their feelings on the deal. Hung explains that the Fansubbers could also be the target of legal action. Check out Hung’s research on the topic.
