Why Some Fansubs Didnt Allow Upload To Streaming Sites?

These things are inevitable. Piracy and Copyright Infringement has been violated since the dawn of time when it was even conceived. I, personally, have given up on protecting my so-called rights to subs I personally do, because no matter how much we try, one way or another, what we are doing is also copyright infringement.

So people making money off my fansubs, with my hardwork and time spent on something that is done freely, I think I'll rather accept it and be done with it. I mean, if I were any better at business, I'd make money off my own fansubs. But that's not what fansubs are about.

Fansubbing, I feel, is more about the willingness to put in effort and hardwork into something that will never have any returns, because it is fun to work on something for free and have people appreciate our works. When you lose that feeling and it becomes more of a "I own this and everyone else should be grateful to me" kind of feeling, I think you as a fansubber should rethink why you are fansubbing in the first place.

If you do notice, a majority of the translators just don't bother with the community, and just go by their daily lives translating dramas without having a care in the world, simply doing it because they enjoy it. And for me, being a translator and a project lead, I hardly even come to d-addicts. The only reason I come here is to download my raws, update my status, post my subs, and I'm gone. Once in a while I come on to read the thank you notes from the subbing thread, and reply to some posts like this one.

Anyways, cheers. Hope you guys enjoy our hardwork, and all the thank you notes are more than worth the effort to continue translating and subbing dramas. Smile
