Kuro-Hana fansub posted the following news in wich they explain that they received a letter, forcing them to drop the Death Note project
"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."
