| Funimation discusses leaked episodes | Sat, 6 Jun 2009 |

ANN interviewed Funimation's CEO Gen Fukunaga. Here a few highlights:
About the leaked episodes: "After going over the sequence of events, we know that human error and flaws in our internal processes are ultimately to blame." Posible actions against groups / individuals who copy episodes from them and upload to torrent sites: We aren't going to call out any specific group. Such groups generally operate undercover. Only handle names are given and groups like to keep their secrets. It is difficult to track these groups down, but not impossible. We are currently gathering evidence against any group involved in this practice and are taking the necessary steps for enforcement of our rights. What's the impact on legal streaming?Overall, this event and the continuing problem of the illegal download and distribution of anime series could make many licensors resistant to the simulcast of their series. We understand how serious a concern these leaks are for our Japanese partners- to the broadcasters, sponsors, and consortium members. We are confident that we have implemented changes which address the security issues, but we must work to regain their trust.
