So, as I always do on Thursdays after watching a poor quality sub of the newest episode on Wednesday evening, I check Deathfan.com for the latest downloadable sub and Kuro-hana as well if DF doesn't have it up yet.
And I almost screamed when I discovered that the majority of sites that are subbing and distrubuting Death Note have recieved letters from VIZ Media telling them to cease and desist.
Kuro-Hana Subs
Sad news to inform all off our watchers for Death Note.
We have just received a C&D(Cease and Desist) from VIZ Media stating for us to stop all distribution of Death Note by 22nd June 2007.
(This letter has also been served to Animanda, c1anime? & Several Death Note fan sites.)
As most of you know we have been subbing Death Note since it got licensed back at episode 12, starting from ANFS and working our way to Kuro-Hana.
We have decided to stop subbing/distributing Death Note by the 22nd of June.
Death Note 36/37 MIGHT be done by us, depending on how we go about this, if not, expect to see another group rise up.

I honestly can't believe how furious I am right now.
It's literally only two episodes before the end of the anime series, and now VIZ decides to tell them to stop, when DN has actually be liscenced since Episode 12. And it says to stop by June 22nd, so that means, hey, they can get one more episode out legally, but not the last one. ¬¬
If those two episodes don't get released online eventually I am going to be so effin' upset.
If it wasn't for DN being US dubbed this probably wouldn't have happened, at least not so soon. -_-
