Why don't anime companies come to a compromise and team up with big fansubbing sites? How about you pay a monthly fee or payperview to the fansubbing website, and have most of the money go to the anime company? You can't beat fansubbing, just like big record companies can't beat file sharing. So, how about it?

Because the main issue with fansubbing aren't those that use it as a trial, but those who use it to get free anime. If they did partner with these fansub sites they would have to charge to make money, other fansubbers would just surface and fill the gap made by any that left the free distribution arena and it wouldn't help. Instead the companies would now have two seperate distribution methods to deal with and more employees to work with since they can't legally use the work of fansubbers without paying them in the US.
People can't just give up everytime they're in for a difficult fight, the world would be a pretty wretched place using that logic. They can be defeated actually, proposed revamps of how the internet operates would actually do that. But it will actually take a major event, as with most things, before it gets dealt with since it is the government who'd have to step up as they manage the net. |

There are a LOT of issues with that. The short version is, it just wouldn't work. A few reasons, though not the only ones: -Fansub groups are not companies, just a group of individuals. The companies would have to hire them on an individual basis. -As soon as money is involved, the "official" 'fan'subs lose. They have to pay the fansubbers and thus they have to charge for the 'fan'subs. Then they are no longer free and people won't bother for various reasons, legitimate and not. -They would have to license each series in order to do it. So it then becomes nothing more than streaming the shows they own, and the companies will *still* have to pick and choose so many shows would still remain unsubbed. More that I can't think of at the moment. |
