This week on Dai-Cast, we’re full of anger once again, and you know what that means!  We’re talking about copyright.  Specially this time, it’s Cruncyroll.com getting $4.05 million in venture capital funding.  Related, we get into an interview with a Fansubber, and the 4 major ISPs in Japan banning torrent users.  And finally, we delve into the dark world of child pornography, and how Unicef wants to ban it in Japan.  All this, and not much more, on this weeks Dai-Cast.
