Here's my point of view.... It seems that within the community, it is looked upon negatively when someone become a professional subber. It has absolutely nothing to do with fansubbing and such. It is basically looked upon as "selling out". For example, if a fansubber from XYZ Fansubs deci...

I think that even if a successful business model can be found and quality softsubs are produced on a regular basis, I have a feeling that, after a while (anywhere from 6 months to 10 years, who knows) the business model will change to a lower cost formula that results in terrible quality subs. Beca...

Oh, i absolutely agree that fansubs are NOT to be sold. I would think if there's a need, a company would be interested in supplying that need for profit. They can air the Chinese subs with the Korean dramas there in China, why is it not possible for English? You hit a point that I was thinking abou...

I would love to work as a translator, but I think I would ask for at least $10-12/hour, and that amounts to about $40-50 an episode, assuming that they can buy the timing of the scripts with the license. However, I think even that is much more expensive than the people they hire, because the transl...

well if it isn't fansubbed how can you pay for subtitles other than official companies? Well, personally, there are only a few reasons why I go for fansubs. One, DVD prices are high, I don't have much money to spare. Two, it is quicker than official english subtitles since they take forever to rele...

Okay. what is your idea because I don't know. If you're not talking about fansubs that what subs are you talking about. Corporate media heads don't really care about us at the moment. Please explain. How are you gonna improve the viewship experience? How are you gonna export subs to your customers?...

If this weren't a completely unrealistic question (listed with my sister's "What would you do if you could get a real Pegasus?"), I would pay to get a series of drama all at once, without the delay, as they do on YAE's released. HOWEVER, there are several reasons why this is a useless que...

I think your intentions are good, but it is stupid. I don't think this type of service can ever be profitable because of the napster effect. The first person who paid for the subs could share it with everyone else through sendspace, torrents, and megaupload. It would be impossible to keep try of wh...

@asianbuzz When i read your post, i can only think of those 3 explanations to your querry/question/curiosity : - you are thinking of creating your own website on wich you would "sell"/"make available" korean (/asian ?) dramas with subtiles but you are not sure of the price of yo...

How Much Would You Pay for Fast Kdrama English Sub?

It's sometimes frustrating for us fans to view Kdrama because we have to wait for subtitles. Yet, we should only wait since fansubs are volunteering to do this for free. I would be willing to pay (like .99 cents per episode like on iTunes) for the service if it were available? I want to know how man...

I still want to know... why not last year? :whistling: A company in California called “Rain Corporation” is going to use the word “Rain” to hold concerts in the US. On 20th February, they requested for a prohibition for others to use the word “Rain” That should answer your question. February 20, 20...

Re: Rain's Intro to the US

As some of you know, Rain is being sued by some rinky dink Beatlescover band. The band is suing him for trademark infringement. Because of this lawsuit, word has it that Rain's American concerts have been postponed. Those of you with tickets - don't worry yet. A judge in Nevada issued a temporary b...
