09/12/2014: My previous attempt at renaming the directory to foil the spambots did not work. I'm trying now to change the login information for the SQL database. There may be a little bit of downtime but it shouldn't take long.
09/11/2014: I've been having problems with spambots preventing legit users from being able to sign up correctly. I've tried changing the directory from bbs to forums. Hopefully that will stop them and I can remove the retrictions stopping real users from signing up. Sorry if some of your bookmarks have become broken. They can be fixed by replacing bbs with forums in the properties.
Recently I have downloaded both Please Teacher! and Onegai Twins fanstubs using Bit Torrent. Both of which I loved. I was just wondering if these are legal or not.<br><br>((Nav Edited title.

Technically they aren't legal. But the chances of people in Japan tracking down anyone in another country where the show hasn't even been licensed yet are very very slim. Most people stop distributing anime as soon as it becomes licensed in the US because most people downloading fan subs are in the US. Once it has been licensed in your home country it is not only illegal, but frowned upon my many anime fans. <p><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><!--EZCODE HR START--><hr /><!--EZCODE HR END--><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.lindenryuujin.34sp.com/Ezboard/Sigpic7Mark2.png" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><!--EZCODE BR START--><br /><!--EZCODE BR END--><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>~ Links ~<!--EZCODE BR START--><br /><!--EZCODE BR END-->[ <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.lindenssite.btinternet.co.uk">My Final Fantasy Site</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> | <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://pub19.ezboard.com/btenchimuyo79943">Tenchi Board</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> ]</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--></div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--></p><i></i>

As Linden said, Fansubs are pretty much legal if the series hasn't been licensed yet in your country.<br><br>I guess lots of anime fans frown upon me, since I download licensed anime series all the time. XD XD <p></p><i></i>

It's not like English broadband is any good anyway. :)<br>I used to have tons of fansubs (albeit sold/deleted them when I left America)--they're the cheapest and easiest way to watch new anime. <p><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center">blut krieg sieg</div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--></p><i></i>
