From what I recall, it was a former audio engineer that Nick had tracked down somehow. Don't have the evidence immediately available, as I'm not up to digging through random Twitter posts quite yet... But that's what I've heard.
Pfft. Why am I not surprised... :roll:

It's foolish to assume that TOEI doesn't mind that people they have little to no control over who handle their property are doing these kinds of things with their property. It literally makes no sense. No responsible head of a corporation would look over this and be like, "oh, yeah this is okay, no big deal. Carry on."
It’s foolish to think this isn’t something that happens all the time. Crews working on television/film particularly kids stuff do this all the goddamn time. This has been so overblown it was be funny if it weren’t so frustrating that a bunch of 20-30 something year old adults are clutching their pearls like Gertrude at church when she heard Chelsea had a child out of wedlock.

Funimation had no intention of making this public. At worst Toei will give them a slap on the wrist for not being more careful. You are incredibly naive if you think Funimation is alone in being a company that has fun with their “family friendly property” on their downtime to amuse themselves while on lunch break.

In some instances, we already know of unreleased cases of this. One of the voice actors involved in the English dub of the 3D Yu-Gi-Oh! movie said that, just for fun, all of the actors and actresses involved had a "Who Can Come Up With the Dirtiest Blooper"-contest.

Ah. Ok, so it's even funnier than that. These are all clips they've already been leaked!!

Jamie Marchi & Kateration discuss it here (with some folks going "aha! I THOUGHT I'd heard them before!):

https://twitter.com/marchimark/status/1 ... 44261?s=20

And then here's the part where it said Nick had tracked down an audio engineer with all the files (probably lying about what his true intention was)...

https://twitter.com/Katerationopia/stat ... 99427?s=20

So not only was this a desperate ploy. It was a ploy FUNi saw coming from a mile away, because they'd already been leaked!!

Ah man...it's amazing how Rekieta manages to manipulate the opinions of so many people so easily (and profit while doing so via his monetized videos and live-streams). I really hope more people eventually wake up to the fact that Rekieta is essentially the Alex Jones of anime fandom.

The fact that people are open to listening to the drivel from a racist lawyer goes to show how easily they can be tricked into believing somebody's crap.

...hmm...

Alright, so here's the deal. I don't think Nick is the problem here; He's the symptom. A lot of folks are people that care more about how they "feel", rather than what's "true". They'll fall for just about anything that makes them feel good. Grifters don't create that weakness; They're just happy to milk it for all it's worth.

So what needs to happen is for them to not feel so threatened about the idea of "losing". Be clear on the fact that Vic can still be the person that made 'em warm and fuzzy... while still being a perverted creep. They'll have to know that being wrong isn't such a bad thing, and know they'll still be treated like brothers... With respect.

Otherwise, what's gonna happen is this: They're gonna go silent for a while, then get another "Nick". Another "Beard". Another "Huber". And we're going to be subjected to the same exact nonsense again... and again... and again... and again. Worst case scenario, they're eventually going to find someone smarter, more organized, more persuasive, and more effective than Nick & his circus clowns could ever hope to be.

Nick isn't the problem; He's the symptom. I think it's important to realize that.

If Nicky Screech did so, wouldn't this be considered doxxing? A serious no-no for anyone, let along a lawyer.

I know what you mean. Maybe it's because I was a media student, but I've never fallen for his bullcrap since the beginning. He's being a yellow journalist and knows how to feed his audience by sensationalizing even the most trivial of news. If keeps his ratings up and cash coming in, who cares? As far as I am concerned, he behaves more like an unprofessional jackass than a real lawyer. I was especially pissed at how he made fun of how fellow lawyer, Sean Lemoine, breaths and talks and encouraged the people in his super chat to do so. Lemoine nearly died from West Nile Virus several years ago and can't help how he speaks now.

He's a talk-show radio host, basically. He can talk about his law experience all he likes, but... as far as what he does for a living, he really is just a talk-show radio host.

If you want a reference for something that FUNimation did that legitimately pissed Toei the hell off, that would be something like the "One Piece Episode Leak Incident" of a few years back. In summary, around the time FUNimation started simul-casting subbed episodes of One Piece, it was discovered that their cyber-security measures bordered on non-existent, and people were able to watch a subbed episode of the show before it even aired in Japan. FUNimation employees later admitted that that incident brought forth Toei's unbound, full-blown wrath, to the point where they almost revoked FUNimation's license to the show.
I do understand why Toei got mad at Funimation in that case because it's a matter of information security, but I wonder why Toei persists in not letting foreign licensees distribute their shows earlier than Japanese TV even today, which seems quite pointless when you handle franchises with worldwide popularity. Maybe that'd be a breach of contract with the Japanese TV channels? They even ordered the French TV channel to slow down their broadcasting of DBZ Kai: TFC when it was about to outpace Buu Kai on Fuji TV, although TFC was originally produced specifically for the international market and Japanese Buu Kai and TFC are different shows both formally and virtually. I remember them proudly talking about how they successfully conducted the "simulcast" in Japan and France, which sounded absurd and totally pointless to me. I was like "Great, so that's the foremost result obtained from delaying the foreign distributions for years?" I'm always amazed at their narrowness of business vision.

Would it be illogical to think that Toei view Japan as their primary audience and want the Japanese viewers to see the episodes first because that's "right"/"how it should be" rather than viewing it pragmatically? The incident with Funimation sounds like it could be because it enables piracy (depending on how people were able to watch the episode) but the French TV example doesn't make sense to me.

I know that this stuff happens all the time, when the hell did I say that it didn't? Stop putting words in people's mouths. You are no one to assume that TOEI will "at worst give them a slap on the wrist"; you don't know that. You are not TOEI. The things with these outtakes is that they stay private and, if anything, TOEI would be upset at the fact that they became public. If FUNimation was able to be hacked, or if someone within the company leaked these files, who knows what else they could leak. An unaired episode of one of their shows? Possibly. Someone already said that TOEI almost revoked FUNimation's license after an episode of One Piece was leaked earlier.

Because it's common sense. If you've ever been in a position of authority you know that you're supposed to oversee what goes on day-to-day, and any surprises, like leaks of any kind, could be detrimental to the reputation of your company. Just the fact alone that something leaked should be worrisome and I'd be surprised if TOEI doesn't conduct internal investigations. Clearly some of you have never been in positions of authority so I guess I can't expect you to understand.

you're finding weird ways to considerably overblow this. These are 20 year old tapes supposedly leaked by an audio engineer who may not even work there anymore.

There have been cases at my job where things that made the company look bad beyond our control has happened, one of them actually being my fault because of a misunderstanding, yet nobody's job security was in danger. The only priority was spinning the public perception
