Now's the most important time to visit an Anime Piracy panel, thanks to the crashing of Geneon. The anime industry in the United States is in the middle of a rough spot, and we're risking losing it. I'd say we owe it to ourselves to listen in.
I went to it with a friend during Atsui-Con 2007 back in August, same exact panel, and it was really informative. I highly reccommend people to go check it out!
Dunno if anyone's still paying attention to this thread, but here goes.
I wasn't able to attend this panel (can't remember why, I know I wanted to...) and have been intrigued at what I've heard about it. Would someone be willing/able to please give me an overview of what was covered? This is a very interesting topic and I'd love to be able to explain it thoroughly to a friend of mine (she, her siblings, and all their friends download their anime). I don't download anime anymore, haven't for years. The only reason I ever miss it is because I think some of the fan translations are better/less Americanized than industry translations. But, anyway, that's off topic. Again, anyone willing to give me a rundown of the panel?

I will if I can find it.

Having Nabeshin tell the crowd the hard truths was worth attending.
