As Funimation drama unravels, here’s a reminder for you that yt-dlp is able to download Funimation videos. Use that opportunity to preserve your collections before they’re gone! (and keep them forever and ever)

Credits to humble jbk@discuss.tchncs.de who brought that up!

    Sony owns both Crunchyroll and Funimation. Sony is consolidating Funimation into Crunchyroll, but they are not preserving people’s digital collections. People are losing access to the digital collections they purchased on Funimation even though Sony isn’t going out of business.

        Not a lawyer but it seems in lot of EU cases companies, e.g Apple or Facebook, go with 2 versions, i.e one for EU customers and one (usually the bad one) for others. I’d bet in the case either they pay the fine or make 2 versions.

              Thankfully we have the EU to stand up to these companies. Shame my country left it and we have Tories desperately trying to implement the dystopia of American corporate scamming that appears to be consumer culture in most developed countries on the other side of the world.
