Fandom complains.
And this is mostly for Kat-tun fans, but I don't even know how many Kat-tun fans would actually read my LJ.
I rarely participate or give comments with regards to discussion about fandom rules because different people have different opinions no matter how much I disagree with them. One example will be no reposting even if credits are given. I mean I ( Read more... )

It's a delicate topic to bring up but here's what I think.
Ultimately, those that are simply on the receiving end of any fandom should just suck it up and get over it. The bottom line is - fansubbers don't get paid for their work. They do this by willingly taking time/energy out of their day FOR FREE. I can't get over that.
(Albeit, I do suspect that a few fansubbers just do it more for the power trip of being an "elite JE fan" -giggle- how cool!!111 = w = but that's another story...)
As for streaming subs, I understand the problems behind it but I'll fess up to catching subbed dramas on mysoju but I - and I'm sure other people - do have a legit (enough) reason for it. I'm living on campus. In order to crack down on illegal downloads, they've blocked off megaupload, 4shared, etc and torrents. A few disapproving rabid fans have suggested that I set up my own router (or whatever) but please, I'm not going to try and break the rules when the school has made it QUITE clear what they think of downloading on campus. Ah. I have no morals.

And anyway right, I keep my megaupload streaming videos un-deleted, so you can watch those.

At any rate, I only wanted to comment that your campus situation is awful! My school, for whatever reason, has banned access to d-addicts, dramacrazy and animecrazy (although mysoju and crunchyroll still work?), but thankfully none of the upload sites are banned, nor torrents.
Oh, and I totally watch dramas online if I don't get fed up with the streaming quality first. But the fact that I'm an evil fan is nothing new x:
