I noticed nowadays people are asking where to download this where to download that... but downloading anime is a dodgy issue, so here're some updated guidelines to follow.

1) Do not post links to torrents and direct downloads for licensed anime....
2) Do not ask where to download licensed anime/warez/games/roms or such...
3) Do not post any hentai pics
4) Do not spam

For a list of what anime series are licensed, you can refer to the following sites

• Grand High Licensing List
• Region One Reviews From AnimeOnDVD.com
• AnimeSuki Licensed Anime Listing

Thanks for your co-operation

Well here's a extract from animesuki about fansubs.

We have to admit it: the distribution of fansubs is technically a violation of copyright under the WTO TRIPS agreement. However the TRIPS agreement does not demand that distribution of copyrighted material is a criminal offence unless it is done on a commercial scale. This means it is up to the copyright holder to bring the offender to court. The copyright of unlicensed material is held by the original creator. In the case of anime this usually means the Japanese distribution company. If something is licenced, the licensee holds the copyright and thus the right to sue any copyright infringers within the area covered by the license. (source: ato's forum post)

Up until now fansub groups have had little to worry about legal pressure from Japan. However US companies are more likely to sue, therefore it is an additional reason for fansub groups to stop distributing a series once it gets licensed in the US.

Oh yeah man...GAY companies like ADV-films. Those guys sure love to sue...
And they have quite a few good series like Angelic Layer, DN Angel, Maburaho, NGE and FMP...etc.
