Fractale Simulcast Halted

The Fractale Production Committee behind this month’s new television series Fractale has ordered Funimation to halt online distribution of the ongoing series until Funimation eliminates all unauthorized internet distribution of the show. Funimation began its officially sanctioned online distribution of the series last Thursday. The series’ first episode remains available for online viewing, but the release of future episodes will be on indefinite hiatus.

I’m absolutely not trying to condone video piracy, but a Japanese copyright owner insisting that an American company police the entire internet and stop illegal web distribution that starts in Japan with Japanese uploaders seems absurdly irrational and unreasonable.
