DB [Dattebayo] Halting Fansubbing Production Indefinitely, Effective Immediately
Woah. WOAH! Hold on now! They’re taking away my Bleach and I’m not sure I can handle that emotionally.
I can understand their reasons though. They want to remain obscure so the big corporations don’t bring down the hammer on fansubs in general. People have been taking Dattebayo’s (the main Bleach and Naruto fansub group) work and publishing it on the Youtubes. That’s fine, I guess. They’d better get back to work soon though or I’ll write an angry letter to my senator.
Which is why Dattebayo has decided that we will put a hold on all our subtitled episode releases until the uploaders comply. We’ve been way too nice so far by letting this issue slide, but this is the end. Here’s our (repeated) request to everyone who butchers our work by uploading it to streaming sites. STOP. If you’re an uploader, please DO NOT UPLOAD DATTEBAYO SUBS to any more streaming sites. If you’re guilty of doing this in the past, and your streaming site account is still valid, GO AND DELETE ALL THE DATTEBAYO VIDEOS WHICH BELONG TO YOUR ACCOUNT. We NEVER gave ANYONE permission to upload our work to ANY STREAMING SITE. If you’re not an uploader and want to help, flag our work you find on streaming sites as copyright infringement, send private message to uploader asking to remove content, etc. This is probably futile due to immense amount of idiots who are unable to read yet are able to figure out how to click “upload” button, but it doesn’t hurt to try.

So now we have to wait for Flomp, and then his work will be put on Youtube, etc. Guess no more Bleach on Wednesday night.

[...] I posted about Dattebayo was halting all fan subs. It would have helped if I read the date on the article. The article is dated 2007/12/27 and that [...]
