Well, fandom just isn't a fun place to be anymore.

It came to our attention that the owners of Hikka Shop were selling a massive amount of Arashi videos through their Blogspot, Facebook and Tumblr homepages.

Here's how and why they're doing it.

From Hikka Shop's Blogspot Page:
(translated from Indonesian into English by Google)


For you who do not have time download, or have a slow Internet connection, or the download links are expired lot, but really want to watch everything about Arashi, you can order everything here ^ ^ For info, email to hikkashop@gmail.com.

I have no doubt that these people are longstanding members of subbing communities, or have taken files from people who are.

What you can do:
- Report their Facebook page if you have access to it.
- Report their Tumblr page for copyright infringement. It's item 20 on the Tumblr FAQ.
- Raise awareness within your own virtual circle that they're profiting illegally off Arashi products.

- Tumblr: http://hikka-shop.tumblr.com/
- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hikka.shop

I took a quick look at the list of videos (which contain whole series, raw and subbed) and I'm pretty sure our subs have been taken. If this continues, the community will take further action to protect its subbers.

ETA:
- Hikka Shop's websites have been taken offline so far, we will update with further details when we receive them.
