thing is, i’d already written something similar: it’s a loooong rant post called “The state of anime industry” (in Ukrainian) (it was reaction on editorial by Justin Sevakis on ANN); in brief it says that aforementioned editorial is (mostly) bullshit, and that all the industry can to do under such circumstances is to adopt fansubs, to monetize them (not to fight them); and it can be done in two ways:

1. add ads to fansubs (whether we like it or not);
2. use established means of fansub distribution (hire fansubbers, use torrents etc).

it seemed to me that you think roughly the same way. ^__^

It’s a bit selfish to ask after so long, and I apologise for the delay in getting to you.
