selling fansubs

[Lego]

it's insulting it's annoying it's making ppl who haven't done ANYTHING at all except leeching to make those fansubs money and apparently a good bag of money too. SOmething that makes someone money is just hard to stop

I agree with that. There are some people that never talk,never do anything, just download, download,download.

Then you either see them on ebay or some other auction site.

Its mostly the same people who keep coming in every week and yelling WHERES NARUTO #$#$# over and over till they get it or we ban them.

Theres no way to stop the selling of fansubs, if we went into the legal area, we could get nailed to.

But it does kinda irritate me that some guy is selling off a prodcut that people do for free in their spare time.

I personnally have to agree with compy on this one (/me glomplich8s teh complich8) because fansubs are supposed to be FREE (technically these kinds of fansubs are called digisubs...so I will be calling them that...) Digisubbers have a helluva lot of trouble getting this stuff to you each release, so for optimal results, pls don't sell them, just support them by stopping people who do sell them and (for you with more money than most) BUY THE DVDS!!!

EDIT: And make sure they aren't HK DVDs for christ sake! Lego has a damned good point...

I see it all the time, people on ebay tout OFFICAL SET, and CLEARENCE ITEM, etc and its a HK DVD set.

For n00bs, HK Dvd's are usually made in mainland china and are basically rips of anime. Some are R1 rips, such as one of the big HK companies will buy the whole series on DVD, rip it, and slap it on DVD-R's with fancy printing.

Or theres the R2 rip with fansubs on a fancy DVD, which is more prevalant.

Then we have the TV ripped, shitty subbed ones, which are gungrave and etc that come out over and over.

So be careful.

Indeed...also, if at all possible, avoid ebay for anime. Use RightStuf (or somewhere like it) for R1, CDJapan for R2, Sasugabooks for Jap Manga and that about does it. So... in conclusion, avoid Ebay at all costs unless you want either bootlegged dvds or digisub dvds
