Wow, for once an anime-viewing site gets taken down not for copyright but for TRAUMATIZING THE YOUTH, or rather, for promoting “death fantasies.”

The Shanghai Daily reports that officials shut down the site dofor.cn because it allowed to “allowed users to watch or post videos based on the banned Japanese novel” Death Note. (Well, there IS a Death Note novel, it’s true, though I think the focus is more on the anime/manga…) From the article:

“‘This is the first Website we have caught to spread ‘Death Note.’ We welcome reports about other Shanghai-based Websites involved in spreading such works,’ [Shanghai Culture Inspection General Team official] Yang said.”
