I've noticed. Half of the streaming sites for the episodes have had Sailor Moon taken down. Sucks, I was finally starting to watch the entire series in Japanese. (I've only seen a few of classic, S, and few Stars.) but since I want to, they're taking it away. :c

But I'd rather a re-release.

@Apple Stardust: I know, I would have that shit pre-ordered months in advance.

Me, too. I would have the releases pre-ordered, but I would also love to watch it on the television. Toonami, perhaps? Or whatever it is called nowadays. It changes its name too often.

I don't watch TV much, but I understand wanting to watch it on
a television channel. I think it would open up a lot of new moonies
and a whole new generation of north american fans.

Also, if we had it on some television stations, I'm pretty sure
that we could walk into Walmart and purchase dolls and toys.

Oh man, that would be bad for my financial means. LOL!

I listen to the music from sailormusic.net, they have everything.

It just got worse. They must really plan on doing something with Sailor Moon... Anyone here know the Youtube User CodenameSailorEarth? Their account was suspended because of copyright policies.

I noticed that yesterday, as well. I'm very disappointed since I listen to SM music quite often. I dislike downloading files but it looks like that is the only way I can get my SM music fix.

Hm, well, I think copyright laws apply outside of the US too and since the music IS copyrighted, they have to right to have the videos taken down. I know it sucks because currently we have no venue to buy the music more locally (because importing that stuff is ridiculously priced anyway). I don't think them taking it down means anything for the US, i think it has to do with the worldwide revival.

As much as I want the anime and stuff back in the US, I am not being too hopeful about anything. I was EXTREMELY skeptical when I first saw the manga announcement. I almost didn't believe it until I went to Kodansha's website. When it comes to Sailor Moon, I've learned to ignore rumors and anyone talking about the anime coming back.


Also, in the case of the music, I highly suggest downloading it from SailorMusic.net before that website is forced to take down its files.

Like I said, the rumor I heard was speculation and in no way confirmed. I, myself, won't hold my breath until there is an official announcement from a distribution company that they had aquired the rights. ^^

As for the copyright laws, that is completely correct but I think every country has their own version of it if that makes sense. I have seen some interesting ways for Youtube to respond to copyright laws to where I had come acrossed several videos where it states that I'm not allow to view the video due to the country I'm in or something to that matter. I can't remember word for word, but I did find it strange.

I have merged the topic Another Copyright Attack with this thread, Sailor Moon Licenses: YouTube's Attack, as it was the one previously created and on the same subject. Please try to look through the list of topics first on a forum before you post to make sure that your subject has not already been started.

Thank you.

BBC does that a lot. If its licensed i the UK or on their UK website, I can't watch something streaming without using a UK Proxy. I guess they'd prefer me to use their BBCAmerica website? I dunno, seems pointless to me!
