Cartoon News Rumors

C|Net has made a report on their site about the possible end of fans subtitling Japanese Animation and spreading these over the net. Over the past couple of years there had not been an incident where a Japanese company would ask to hold and stop such actions. However the C|Net article reports that recently a studio called Media Factory has started spreading requests on stopping similar projects from the Anime fan base.

The article suggests that this could be the start of a trend to stop the freely distributed Japanese cartoons over the net. With similar projects of subbing and dubbing Japanese Transformers shows, one have to wonder how long it will take for Transformers fans to be asked to stop making similar projects.
