I've never beeeeeen so pissed off.... as far as I can remember. On monday, I gave a presentation on fansubbing, it works, legality etc.(for all those who dunno, i think i wrote about it a couple of months back...go check).
Now, during the Q&A, I was seriously bullied.. boo! Instead of asking me questions about fansubbing, I was bombarded with questions about how to stop people from downloading those fansub episodes. I kept on repeating that no law will be able to successfully stop people from doing so, that it all depends on the individual. But no, bloody classmates, 2 actually, insistently argued back on how it's useless, but yet proceed to give me suggestions on how to stop them. ARGH... I was so ticked off! Best part? They admitted downloading those things also. If I had a clearer head then, I would have said: IF you really want to stop people from ripping of the internet, why don'T you be the example? ARGH...WASTED.
Note to all: Fansub is considered illegal, hence on general, only unlicensed anime will be fansubbed. A licensed anime is defined as having its distribution rights bought by a foreign company, in most cases, an American company, since the US is considered to hold the biggest market. The purpose of fansubbing is to allow anyone to have access to subtittled animes currently shown or only available in Japan. Thus once some company outside of Japan buys its rights and distribute it, fansubbers usually stop fansubbing that particular anime.
Lesson of the day:
1.don't contradict yourself
2.don't be a hypocrite in front of me.
3.don't tell me what to do if you don'T do it yourself.
If you can't comply with these, then piss off.
If you didn'T get what I was on about, it's fine. Just that t's already wed but I'm still pissed. Had to release it somewhere....
