How To Encourage Piracy 101

Word from Screendaily (via Grady Hendrix at Kaiju Shakedown) is that thanks to copyright conflicts with the Sci Fi Channel adaptation of Ursula K LeGuin's Tales From Earthsea the earliest we can expect to see Goro Miyazaki's Gedo Senki on North American shores is 2009. Yes, 2009. I can count the number of Studio Ghibli fans likely to wait that long to see this film on one hand. One badly mutilated hand. A stump, even. Kiss your profits on this one goodbye, Disney, you'd be much better off to simply come to some sort of rights arrangement with Sci Fi and get it out promptly.

Thanks to Mary for pointing this out.
