From my years of subbin...Wow, what a sad situation.<br />From my years of subbing, sites like this have always abused the relationships that fansubbers have with viewers. And 100% of the time, these people do not give a shit about the feelings of the fansubber and the adverse effects that may occur. To them, a downloader/visitor is just a "hit" on their site which brings in ad revenue. They're all in it for profit.<br />Usually I ignore them and continue to fansub thinking about the greater good. At times it did get to me, but it does gives me some solace to know that these sites don't last long and judging from all the licensed movies that I see on the site (very stupid move), they'll be in deep shit in no time.<br /><br />My condolences to the Iryu fansubbing group.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13896723.post-17054943847525868302010-12-15T20:47:31.905+11:002010-12-15T20:47:31.905+11:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07336452866605757741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13896723.post-24314152396234188942010-12-12T10:33:57.749+11:002010-12-12T10:33:57.749+11:00Wow...I can't believe some of the comments (in...Wow...I can't believe some of the comments (including some in the original post) being made here; it's like the whole 'siantut' episode regarding subs of 'Nodame Cantabile' resurfacing, again. <br /><br />I've read all the comments on d-addicts, and I'm totally on the fansubbers' side. In what way are the fansubbers' requests unreasonable or crazy? Since when is someone 'responsible' for subbing a JDorama, using their own spare time and w/o getting paid? They're sacrificing their own time and effort (which BTW can be tranlated into real monetary terms via opportunity costs and so forth) so that more people can enjoy JDoramas; the least you can do is to show a little appreciation. <br /><br />People are entitled to the necessities in life, and being able to watch JDoramas certainly isn't one of them. What YC is doing is essentially taking credit for something they didn't do. How would you feel if someone where you work takes credit for the work you did, and as a result got all the accolades or even rewards/promotion, which essentially is == streaming sites getting ad revenue or people earning profits via selling DVDs w/ other people's subs? YC is an awesome site, huh...keep it up and soon all they have will be old JDoramas, that is if the legal authorities don't go after them first.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13896723.post-91321685364323727182010-12-11T03:15:41.195+11:002010-12-11T03:15:41.195+11:00Confessions of a subber

My subs should only be viewed on a 50 inch Sony HDTV with a WD media player, not some shitty little browser window in a library. I can't kick every poor person in the world in the nuts, so I do what I can, you know?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13896723.post-60997428796861623792010-12-11T00:43:31.930+11:002010-12-11T00:43:31.930+11:00wow.. you wrote about this?
btw, I'm one of t...wow.. you wrote about this?<br /><br />btw, I'm one of the iryu 3 fansubbers, I frequent your blog to read reviews for recommended dramas to watch, good job on your drama reviews.<br /><br />as much as we like to continue subbing, from this incident, while most ppl are nice, there would be a few pricks who choose to be extremely rude and mean.. "it's your own fault you chose to spend your own free time on fansubbing, to hell with your demanding rules, I'll pirate your sub, and do anything with it, you don't own the legal rights to sub at first place.. bla bla". when we did drop the sub, 1 in 5 PMs will be ppl scolding us "insane", "immature", "childish", "rubbish attitude", "irresponsible"<br /><br />the above are some real quotes of the many bashings we received btw.<br /><br />what would you do if you were us? I guess most will respond like us: "f**k it, let's just close shop, we are not losing anything too"<br /><br />fansubbers are humans and have feelings too, we certainly don't expect ppl to worship us or "put us on a pedestal", but a little "thank you" or appreciation makes us extremely happy, and is probably the only reward we will get from the time we spent.<br /><br />speaking on the time spent, although we love the show and want to share it to other fans, sometimes we can't really justify the amount of free time we have to give up to complete an episode of the sub. fansubbing is an extremely unrewarding past-time unless you are training to be a translator, for iryu 3, it takes us 30+ hours, times 3 person, for an episode. mainly cos we are inexperienced in (timing, translations, wordings, etc). we would have easily spent close to 1000 hours total if we were to complete the entire 11 episodes.<br /><br />till now, i still don't understand how other fansubbers can march on despite receiving ungrateful remarks and baseless criticisms.<br /><br />there's no plan to resume subbing, there's too much pain and less enjoyment doing the sub now. it's such a pity cos the series really only starts to get interesting ep5 onwards, and we were just slightly past the midway mark when we drop the sub. I do hope other fansubbers will pick up this and continue where we left off.kirei89noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13896723.post-32976406639901350552010-12-10T16:22:08.510+11:002010-12-10T16:22:08.510+11:00it's the same logic if i were to copy-paste yo...it's the same logic if i were to copy-paste your jdorama reviews wholesale and bring it to another site, and credit it as my creation. you'll come to my site asking me to take it down, i reply anything you post on the internet is public domain, you can't make me stop.<br /><br />in this case, the fansubbers went a bit too far, and dropped the sub, and strangely half of the yc comments are blaming the fansubber for their "childishness".. i would have done the same thing as what the fansubbers didAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13896723.post-91774817107046902422010-12-10T13:39:18.935+11:002010-12-10T13:39:18.935+11:00I've been involved with a few softsub projects...I've been involved with a few softsub projects that ended up on streaming sites with the credits stripped out. Some were burned to DVD and sold on eBay. It's a creepy feeling...like identity theft. I imagine musicians feel the same when their MP3s get posted. The only difference is that people know when they're listening to Metallica.<br /><br />For me the anti-streaming stance isn't about egotism or being a control freak.

It started it, but it was not a strong enough reason to disband the team.<br /><br />space handled it wrongly.<br />"As long as people fansub, I will pirate them [if you can call it that since they don't own the legal rights to the subtitle, but that's another story]." -space's wise words<br /><br />" Stop putting fansubbers on a pedestal, that’s why they are being so demanding with their “rules”." - space<br /><br />"Why should we care about fansubbers more?" - space<br /><br />---<br /><br />I would quit too if I'm the fansubber. Go type the three sentences above in any D-A ongoing fansubs, and see the chaos that will follow.<br /><br />Even space's apology is crap, he's saying that he is indeed correct, he's implying serene is insane, he is just doing a favor by helping serene realize that "fansubbing is not for her"<br /><br />I know it's not the issue, but the iryu 3 subs re-uploaded by YC has the following credit: <br />File name: [YellowCinema] Iryu 3 06.srt<br />File description: Asian Movies and Drama: YELLOWCiNEMA.COM uploaded by: Azazel<br /><br />it's very disrespectful to the real fansubber, I too would have thought YC is the one making the subs, they have no rights to put their name on the sub.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13896723.post-54504596454324301042010-12-10T03:48:59.456+11:002010-12-10T03:48:59.456+11:00I understand your comment, but I don't underst...I understand your comment, but I don't understand the crazy demands of the subbers on what can be done with the subs. It was hard work. Why not let people just enjoy the subs and watch the shows.<br /><br />By the way, from now on my subs can only be watched if you hop on one foot and hum "poker face".
