Well, rips usually aren't violating any source licences, because the source they borrow from usually isn't legally licenced. (After all, just saying 'I r have copyright' doesn't cut it, legally)
But yes, in content, they are pretty screwed. However, the owners of the respective trademarks and copyright have not brought the matter to the attention of BYOND (to my knowledge), so BYOND doesn't have a legal obligation to remove those hub entries.
As Nadrew noted, it is the responsibility of the owner of a licence/trademark/copyright to take action against violations. The matter that I wished to draw attention to, is whether BYOND are willing to take action on violations that exist on their hub, without the owner of the original content needing to take legal action to forceably get it removed.

This topic has gone WAYYY offtrack. It is about your opinion on releasing a source not about how Animes or Rips are bad or anything about Legal or Trademarks. Please stay on topic.
