As much as they should definitely be protecting and keeping tabs on their product, unless Toei allows for some kind of legal distribution here in the near-future, it's not going to really stop fansubbers.
Get with the times, Toei. Streaming is the future of anime in the global market.
And what did they expect? I've said many times before the show, that I will watch it by any legal means, but if they aren't streaming it, I won't be their corporate hostage and watch the show by any other means

Their loss, I hope they will choke on it. Western companies at least do their business with a fans in mind (of course, they are doing it for the money they will get from them but you feel important and that they are doing it for you,
so you will gladly throw your money into the cash bin to get it), but when it goes to Japanese companies,
it is always more of the money thing and I don't know, if they ever did something fan-servicey mostly with Dragon Ball. Expensive as hell complete series, half-assed video games, not a complete soundtracks...
At least they are more granty with their toy and figure releases.
