ADV Titles now on Crunchyroll (subtitle version)

[zidanetribal2000]

Its common for broadcasting networks to region lock outside areas they broadcast in. For example, NBC is only available in the United States. This is to protect overseas broadcasters.

Despite ADV owning Anime Network and having branches in the UK, Anime Network only has Canadian & American rightst to the animes it airs and while TAN may hold the broadcasting rights in North America a more mainstream channel in the UK could hold the UK broadcasting rights to that same anime. And that is why Anime Network Online is only viewable to Canada & United States only. It is the issue of broadcasting rights and digital transmition infringes on broadcasting rights as well.

Yes, Anime Network in specific right now is US and Canada... however last year that included to some degrees the UK and Puerto Rico.

Hmm, and using CoralCDN doesn't work on it either (it does for the South Park Studios site btw, if anyone outside the US is interested in that). Guess I'll have to try something a bit more advanced to get around it.
