Fansubber : The Real Drive Behind Hallyu Wave?

Ellow, welcome again..

I certainly wonder, how can the Hallyu Wave spread into the non-Korean-speaking nation? It's just so that they should have a medium to present the show in a way that people can understand what are the talk about? I think that the real drive behind the Hallyu Wave is the Fansubbers itself.

Honestly, how can the like they show without even know what they are talking about? The Koreans are always said that the reason people like them because of their music that can penetrate the hearts of the youth, their dramas that can touch soul of the softest person. But how is that true without they even understand the contents of the show itself?

So here's the solution; the Fansubbers. I'm not a Korean, but my friends really loved it. Listen to the music, dramas and variety shows make them laugh and cry together. But before that, let us define what the fansubber is.

Simply stated, that fansubbers are the people who take their time to sub the content of show (usually their favourites) into the language where they can understand of. They are not paid to do it; it is just a hobby for them. They survived by donations made to them using internet transaction into their account, usually the donation used for server maintenance.

Personally I do not understand, why suddenly some party wanted to summon the people who made this? Ever since the SOPA-PIPA incident, many file sharing site were busily deleting their members' files, or trying to restrict it to just a file storage site? Of even in some country, they are even blocking the torrent site, to the means of summon them if they break the rules? Obviously, is this are helpful to them? In the name of copyright, they are actively suing as many individual as possible that involved in either making, distributing and even watching the contents that was subbed to the way that we are finally UNDERSTAND the show!

Pardon me, this is a little political, but I was just upset with some people who are trying to generate money by using filesuits to people who does not even received money from the job the are really like and not even receive profit from them itself? Now it happens to become very difficult just to watch the programme that I like. Even they deleted their videos in YouTube services. It goes to this extend - I can only watch it once, in television.

I do not know if I should say this; you, the fansubbers, I am very grateful to your determination to just doing this as a hobby itself, not  afraid of any hindrance coming towards you, and providing a very precious alternative services that aims to just one thing; makes us happy. You may have difficulty in generating money sources to maintain the base, and I don't even have a pence of money to donate for. However, believe me, as many donator who appreciate all of your works, there are many more people who are impressed, just by thinking that you have effort to do fansubbing and even providing an ALTERNATIVE VIDEO SOURCES, which a little or not, contributing to the expansion of any industry that we love alike.

[p/s: it's very emotional, isn't it. I just wanted to express mu frustration to something that i like, very much. it could one of the few interesting things that left in my life. Till then...]
