I like the idea of a partner with kitty but before I spend money to support, I would like it if you got a Hentai without netorare that is more of happy sex.To be honest, netorare in hentai anime is a much more recent occurrence than anything Kitty Media has licensed yet. I don't believe there catalog has anything like that, lots of rape though.

Can anyone tell me why i cant watch videos on Fakku? I have the latest version of Adobe FLash player and Megaporn is also not blocked for my country or me personally, which i know can be a problem cos i checked the forums. I can watch other wideos on any other sites (eg. youtube, anime streaming sites etc) and it only seems to be Fakku that im having a problem with (and have ever had a problem watching videos with). I made an account expressly to ask for help with this problem tho ive been coming here for over a year now so i would really appreciate some help with this problem.

Does anyone else consider this unethical?Fakku has never been a legit website. It's a site that distributes other people's works without compensation or authorization, and makes money from ads. I can live with that. Fair or not, that's how a lot of the internet works.
But then seeing a company involved in licensing works partner with Fakku and take advantage of its illegitimate activities is appallingly opportunistic. Not only that, but it makes the commercial side of Fakku all the more glaring. I don't like it.
Fakku has just entered the imperialistic state of being. The fact that they offer hosting to so many smaller groups is also a case in point.
While at first a site by fans for fans, it has increasingly become an enterprise dealing in wrongly appropriated goods seeking to blow other, similar sites out of the market to establish a monopoly. This is, as Lenin has sufficiently shown in Imperialism, a defining aspect of capitalism in its final stages and thus to be refuted if we don't want to be spoonfed what admins and advertisers deem "acceptable" (similar to what Gramsci coined "cultural hegemony").
Certainly there are other sites that are worse, but that changes nothing of the sort.
The answer can only be to jump ship and seek out raw distribution sites and translator blogs if we don't want to become mindless slaves to what others think is good for us, which in itself only serves their own selfish purposes.

Well, it reminds me of Shinji and CrunchyRoll. We'll have to see if Jacob can bring other legitimate licensing companies aboard, but then he'll have to decide if free fan content or legitimate content is favored, because somewhere down the road some exec will put pressure on him to not host illegal scanlations. Maybe it works out that way for normal anime, but can't really affect doujinshi specifically, since they're really not protected as their copyright violations in of themselves, and the most that can happen is an artist request that their material not appear on the site, like what LINDA does. As doujinshi cannot be legally licensed and brought over, it's one of the few aspects of anime fandom that will always be in a moral and legal grey area.
But thinking on it again, this is much less like CrunchyRoll's situation, where Japanese producers give simulcasts to be eventually given out for free a week later. This is more like when FUNimation dumps a bunch of older titles on ANN just to stimulate interest in general. Hentai licensing is a fickle beast, where Japanese companies just up and decide to forgo licensing their products out entirely because it means lost domestic revenues. Of course what makes the big distinction is that TV anime are on TV, and "essentially" free; you have the NHK fee, but that's minimal. Whereas all hentai anime are DVD and now BD releases, so giving those out for free means lost sales of the expensive physical product, immediately.

Taking down the user uploads video section wasn't related to this deal. Though it's timing certainly makes it seem that way.
People were honestly just posting way too much licensed content and ignoring the rules, I was sick of getting my inbox spammed with takedown notices.

Or that. Probably for the best in any case.

So I assume it won't be up? Or not any time soon?

Hopefully it will be back up, I just need to figure out a way to properly moderate it.

Assign one of your thousands of trust worthy friends to be a moderator of that section. May I suggest tsujoi.

It really needs someone who is dedicated enough to watch it like a hawk so it's not riddled with stuff that's not supposed to be there. Another method that could be used for video section which would suck is to have it staff approved. Anything a person wants to upload, a staff member would have to approve of it before hand before it shows up on the forums for all to see. Course, this method would most likely lead to alot of work and build-up of the same topics most likely.

If you need a moderator for the Video upload section, Lazyass pretty much fits the bill. He has the knowledge and the attitude to moderate it.

Heh, leave it to Jacob to be the first free hentai site owner to set something like this up, kudos man. I'm definitely looking forward to what this will lead to (and maybe a few DVD's in the coming months after I finally get an HDTV).

Congratulations on the new site partnership.Fakku might be the Crunchyroll of hentai someday,except without the snooty CR community.
