This is so true. Heisig's method combined with using Anki for SRS (spaced repition system) works so well it's like a human memory exploit. You can learn and retain 25 or so characters a day in about 1 hour's worth of study. It's pretty amazing. I have learned over 3000 characters in the span of about 1/2 a year with this method, with retention rates of about 93-94% during my reviews. I can't speak highly enough for how well this works.

Are we in the right to demand Comcast to reveal the name of the copyright holder upon receiving a DMCA notification?

The letters are claiming that the copyright holder or an authorized agent are making the infringement claims, though usually these requests are also sent to the site itself rather that individual downloaders.

My question is have they really been in contact with Japanese anime companies, or is this another scare tactic by Comcast to try and reduce the bandwidth use of their heavier customers now that their previous tactics have come under legal fire?"
