For what it's worth, someone posted WOWOW part one WITHOUT hard-coded Japanese subtitles to Usenet. The nfo explains how they removed the subs. It's 25.73 gb's and hopefully I can trash the canal+ version I just obtained with the annoying logo.
Edit: Man I wish someone would upload part II and III in similar fashion. Like they said in the nfo 2 and 3 are by far the worst as far as DNR goes for the BD's.
