Is that even possible? Given the number of submissions, it would take the entire Red Army to do this task! Nico Nico decides to vet submissions? Is that even possible?

Overseas hosting, anonymous encryption, etc, etc. Not easy, but the only way to avoid becoming a sad Napster clone in the long run.

Also, what else could the guy do other than rolling over and whining for mercy? Risk a lawsuit and/or even an arrest? Get into a fight he could never win? C'mon. It's sad that this happened but he had to comply. I just hope that now that the time of the deletions is known, people will back up their works and make them available for download. There's stuff there I'd hate to lose forever. >Len-Vesper
Er, NicoNico is Japanese, and this is more about the Japanese market than the North American one. Also, what else could the guy do other than rolling over and whining for mercy? Risk a lawsuit and/or even an arrest? Get into a fight he could never win? C’mon. It’s sad that this happened but he had to comply.

I just hope that now that the time of the deletions is known, people will back up their works and make them available for download. There’s stuff there I’d hate to lose forever.

There goes what respect I had for Niconico. :p I can't believe they caved like that. Sure, if they had MPAA stuff on their blog that mattered but the issue is that they're trying to make something illegal out of something that is not. Once its licenced, any good site would remove offending links, if it's not licenced why don't they just get off their butts and get a better goddamn business model? If it weren't for fansub distribution, they wouldn't be making much of any cash at all on most internation distribution, since a lot of dvd sales and attendance at events is generated by free fansubs and that's doubly true for many obscure series. Lame.
