even though I don't watch anime with this form of media it still kind of pisses me off. It's going to be sad when FUNimation drops the simulcasting.

my sentiments exactly... though it might seem funny momentarily, this eventually ruins it for everyone

Whats the chances that this is just promotional?

There's really no defending Funimation for this happening twice. Who ever runs their website security sucks and obviously is clueless about how to prevent their videos being stolen. It seems they did very little these past few days to try and secure their videos so that they where not stolen.

As much as it is the fault of those actively pursuing to take these videos and put them up early, Funimation is just as or more at fault for having it publicly accessible twice even if it was for a few minutes. Some one got to it and now it's leaked onto the internet.

The biggest thing they should do is to not upload their videos before it airs in Japan if they can't maintain a secure server. They should really just stop with the simulcasts until they have their server fully secured because really this is just going to continue on and then very few companies are going to want to do simulcasts with them.

Their security maintenance obviously didn't help much because FMA 9 was leaked as well, before their scheduled stream.

Why would they do something like this? Impatient people.

illegal? no. no no no no. funimation stepped in halfway through and said if you live in america you cant see the show until we say you can and you cant watch the show in full HD resolution until we release the DVD's and charge you 55 dollars for 3 episodes because we're a bunch of greedy bastards. what funimation is doing should be illegal and all because the money talks, everyone else turns a blind eye. i dont really care how funimation gets screwed as long as they get whats coming to them, open your eyes people.

2.Funimation releases One Piece in 13 episode sets at $ 50 each, here is a link to one such set http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/catalogmgr/2bjtq5trgvfVF0im-w/browse/item/78085/4/0/0 , you mistaken Funimation for a Japanese anime company

That's still about 4 times too much. It should be around $1 per episode, and around $1.5 for BD, when that eventually arrives.

Capellabun said:
That and this is much less then what you would pay in Japan.

On the leak, Shame on the hackers and Shame on FUNinmation.

kuroshiroi said:
Just so we're clear, nobody was hacking anything. Downloading the episodes from FUNimation's unsecure servers isn't illegal, it's only illegal to share the episodes after downloading them.

If its not meant to be release, it is taken illegally. I do not know the full story and how do you know that it was completely unsecured. I doubt FUNimation is that much of an idoit, but one never knows. I do not see anything that points to it was taken off of an unsecure server. Though I secede it might have happen that way since I dont want to look it up right now, and probably wont read anything on it if you send it.

From my understanding it was on a unsecured server which could have easily been accessed by changing the number of the episode or something along those lines. I'm not sure exactly, since I haven't tried it myself but from what I know it was pretty simple and easy to get to. Those, however, where the circumstances for the One Piece leak.

I don't think it's been revealed whether or not the Phantom Requiem episode or the FMA episode where accessed the same way. Either way Funimation has a serious problem that they need to fix :/

I kind of agree with kuroshiroi though, I'm not sure if it's illegal to take it from an unsecured server but it is illegal to distribute it. We'll see though, I don't think anyone has been caught yet and even if they where I wonder how much Funimation can do especially if they live outside of the US.

way to go guys! i hope this happens more and funimation can burn in the hole its digging for itself.

im sorry but did i hear of companies licensing midseason, releasing absolute shit quality videos and subs and then blaming fansubs because they do it 10x better? i think i did

screw all you guys who are all butthurt over "this is gonna ruin it for everyone" yeah right. go read up on video resolution and coding and go download an episode. tards.
