An Open Letter to Anime Distributors and Streaming Services
Following my listening to the Reverse Thieves podcast about anime being licensed for DVD and streaming in the US and they asking for people to give opinions, it struck me that most of the streaming sites they mentioned have some form of geo-locking going on and that means that I can’t give a proper opinion on this subject as I’m locked out of the majority of these free and paid legal services. So I’ve decided to write an open letter explaining my position on the matter. The headers at the beginnings of each section are quotes from a conversation I had with my co-host on the matter. I hope they are understood as being both playful and illuminating the sections bottom line.
