Toonami might soon be getting cancelled again as it's block loses 1 hour

There is speculation that Toonami may soon be getting cancelled again as it loses 1 hour. This is because that TV is dead and the internet has become a boon for online video services like Amazon Prime, Crunchyroll,  Hulu, and Netflix. Cable providers will soon be selling their Over-the-Top (OTT) services to customers as the FCC will soon vote on the final rule of the definition of a Multichannel Video Provider Distribution (MVPD) and also the incentive auction for the upper UHF broadcast band and AWS bands that will soon begin next year.

How Copyright Maximalism kills transparency: The Death of Chilling Effects Clearinghouse

Search and image results that get removed let's say links to fan works on DeviantArt usually ends up on Chilling Effects Clearinghouse. But now it's seems that IP maximalists have killed transparency using the "take down, ask questions later"  procedure. So now Chilling Effects is all but dead, it won't be long until the site shut itself down after being threatened by corporate copyright maximalists

So we are screwed until DeviantArt becomes the next victim to be forced to remove all the fan art and even the fan art category from the site.
