NEWS: Space Dandy Anime's 1st Episode Leaked Before TV Premiere

Hmm, no, that's still not quite right.

Now it doesn't matter who leaked it or who's fault it was.

What matters now is to get people to wait for the original release.
ANN is doing a terrible job at it by writing a news article about the leak.
The more attention the leak gets, the more people will try to find it.

A leak before the first episode is a big deal.
Sponsors are going to stop supporting the project if they see low numbers during the first episode.
That's one of the reasons why some anime productions never make it into the second season.

Hmm, no, that's still not quite right. Madman paid for the rights to stream it, not just watch it for personal use. In the analogy, just copying a guy's DVD collection doesn't affect his ability to continue to watch his own DVDs.

But either way, the point he was making was that it's just silly to say "I am justified in doing anything if you make yourself vulnerable."

All this is going to do is cause us to get the simulcast later, since the production committees can't trust it getting leaked out before the broadcast. I don't think so. This like the 5th time this happened. From what people are saying Copellion has been leaked several times, with no consequence.

Yeah but its Coppelion, which is one of the biggest flops of the year.
