Tenka Hametsu considers the old topic of online distribution (in the context of Onemanga's demise) and while the article is not breaking a lot of new ground on this conversation, it is a succint reprize of the argument that would take Omo a dozen screenfulls. Also, can't help noticing this:

It’s worth nothing that a fair share of people are paying Crunchyroll for online content. I’d say their service still is very lackluster (no DTO, horrible encoding -video quality-, lack of proper support for Linux -and we are in the HTML5 era!-, not enough shows I’d consider good, etc), but it’s certainly true that they are making money out of it.

The DTO was the biggest issue for me (note that DRM-free DTO fixes the Linux problem neatly as well). Honestly even with the Pretty Cure perfidy I'd pissed enough. So I steadfastly refuse to subscribe to Crunchyroll because I am butthurt by the way they treated me. In the same time, it looks like other people do not mind, which is fine and more power to them.

BTW, Beveridge just reported that Crunchy licensed Mitsudomoe. Fortunately, the dialog is just barely manageable for me and I can stick to raws.
