There are 2 studios in the Ocean Group, Westwood Studios and Blue Water Studios. Westwood did some really decent ones like:

Inu Yasha
Megaman NT Warrior
Gundam SEED
Gundam Wing
Escaflowne
Soul Taker

...plus couple others. Blue Water Studios did CRAPPY dubs like:

Crest/Banner of the Stars
Ayashi no Ceres
Betterman
D.I.C.E

...and a couple others.

With Katsucon literally days away, they make a press release instead? They must be really worried about the fansubbers.

And for the record, I'm looking forward to every last one of you complaining about Viz's 3-episode discs and $30 price-points for Naruto as it balloons out into a 450-episode series.

(sorry, I'm a little sadistic.)

ShoPro Entertainment Licenses Naruto Anime
Reported by: Tazmo on Tuesday, February 15th, 2005 at 02:51PM
Edit: We just got off the phone with ShoPro Entertainment and they have confirmed the reports. The NARUTO anime series is indeed licensed by their company. Once we are able to contact another representative from them next week we will know more details such as when the first release will be made.

Thanks to AnimeNewsNetwork.com for the article. It appears that this time, for real, the NARUTO anime series has been licensed by ShoPro Entertainment, one who is merged with VIZ LLC, the American company who has published the NARUTO manga in North America. We can not confirm what the future holds for NARUTO on the internet, but we do know that the BitTorrent trackers will be pulled down tonight most likely. This is the beginning of a new era for all of us. Dattebayo will make an announcement later on if they plan to continue subtitling the anime. The status of the manga releases should not change, as it has been licensed for a good 2 years. No word on if SaiyaMan will cease RAW releases. There is no word on what network the NARUTO anime will air on, or if it will just be direct to DVD.
