Comments on: Fansubs Don’t Grow On Trees: Gundam 00 and the new ethics of fansubbing http://thelearnedfangirl.com/2008/03/25/fansubs-dont-grow-on-trees-gundam-00-and-the-new-ethics-of-fansubbing/ a critical take on online culture and social media Tue, 10 Jan 2012 05:03:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: MaiNoKen http://thelearnedfangirl.com/2008/03/25/fansubs-dont-grow-on-trees-gundam-00-and-the-new-ethics-of-fansubbing/#comment-30 MaiNoKen Thu, 29 Apr 2010 19:53:16 +0000 http://thelearnedfangirl.com/?p=50#comment-30 Somehow I stumbled upon this old post of yours by Google, and I hope you do not mind I reply to it; the topic is as valid as ever. I am an old school fansubber, so I have appreciation to the so-called the "old school rules". Demanding things to be subbed ASAP or fansubbing for any other purpose then providing the means of access to the otherwise inaccessible is harmful to the whole industry. Free Culture is not believing one has the right to force others to set their property to a price one prefer. Artists, scientists, writers have to earn a living. The FOSS (Free and Open Source) movement is work of who by their free will to support FOSS; nobody make them to like FOSS.

Zavrion: you're missing the point. It's not about piracy, or not the main thing anyway, it's about whats happening to the fan subbing scene that the appreciation for the work the artists are doing.

Sure they are loosing money on cds or dvd sales. However, that is not where the majority of money comes from. It comes from TV broadcast licensing and all the clothing. So much apparel. Also, piracy is Generation Y which in some ways has been fed by the open source movement. Also, Deviant Art has been raided.
