TVN doesn't harass Century Kings. From what I understand they appreciate them quite a bit. Know why? They aren't trying to sub stuff TVN already is subbing, and they do a good job subbing what they do.
And that's what some are saying. Why can't another group sub the same series? Yeah, it's pretty much a waste, but if that's what the group wants to spend their time doing, why should TVN be allowed to harass them? Does TVN have the right to all current shows or something?
It is a starting point. Groups aren't totally awesome at their jobs until they've had some time. I remember watching some of TVN's earlier subs and being turned off immediately. I didn't come back to watch for a few years, and they have really improved. It takes time though.
By dissing other groups and scaring some into quiting, it doesn't even give them a chance to become better. Oh no, they are subbing the same series, the translations and typesetting isn't as good as ours... Please. More groups can benefit the community. Yeah, maybe they have a rocky start, but they need to be given a chance. Even if they start off on the same show, they can expand to different areas. And even if the subbing sucks and never improves, we don't have to download them.
...and I'm sure it's either been a misunderstanding, or someone did something to generally piss KingRanger off, as he usually is the agressor and you guys shouldn't group all of TVN together with any single entity, be it KingRanger, takenoko, or Magenta, or whoever.
Yet, it is okay for HJU to be grouped as a single entity of leechers? I really think the main problem here is with KingRanger, not the whole group.
As for the legality of fan subbing. I'm not really going to argue. People deluded into believing it is legal aren't going to be swayed. However, trying to attack TVN through PayPal is pretty low. :redface2:
