I think that ANN is holding back on the fansub panel video because it really was a big waste of everyone’s time. As much as they claim it wasn’t a “us verses them”, the audience was completely pro-fansubbing. The 90 minutes mostly consisted of the industry panelists talking, but watching what they were trying to say in order to avoid upsetting the crowd. The fansubbers rarely spoke, but then they did, the audience would laugh and applaud at every single little line they said, while they gave the industry reps the silent treatment. And the brief Q&A section only consisted of fansub watchers telling the industry why they watch fansubs and why they will continue to watch fansubs.

Also, I thought the “Anime is Serious Business” was a little full of it himself. All he knew was the “leaked” information he was able to get off of the internet. When I tried to ask him the effects of online piracy to the business, he side-stepped the issue completely with the false statistic of “90% of all anime is aired for free on Japanese TV.”
