Okay, I received this news from AnimeOtaku so all credits goes to Blaen for bring to us the terrible news. So I bet your wondering what exactly this bad news is. Well here it is >_< :
These are his Words
Quote: We might have no more anime very soon
Well, as you know, our anime eps are supplied by generous Fan-sub groups who in themselves ask for no money in exchange for their generous services. They have existed under the radar of Japanese copy rights or should we more accurately say, the fansubbing business was largely ignored.
However, this might be changing soon! A new Copyright Bill (HR2391) passed in the good old USA will most probably kill the Fansubbing industry

What does it mean? It means that Fansub distrabutors won't have the protection of Japanese copy-right laws anymore and that the American attorney General will be liable to persecute all those guilty of copyright infringements (bastards).
The article was aptly named...

Senate May Ram Copyright Bill !
Yep....ram it down everyone's throat which might leave us with no anime to watch. Well, I suppose you could bye English Dubs but who the hell wan't to listen to a Brittany Spear's wannabe . Everybody in Hollywood should be shot as I have ample justification to believe that lots of money and ***-licking exchanged hands during the "Ramming" of this copy-right Bill.
What a f***** disaster . Of course we all could start learning japanese and watch raws
I can’t believe it myself, but the real document can be found on this website :
