Constantley i see on the internet countless of fan translations of mangas, animes , Japanese Movies and older Video Games. While the original Japanese Content Creator wont see a dime for his or her work. I dont know but i feel like None japanese people espcially Westerners who have the money* use Fan Translatiosn as an excuse for pirating/getting stuff for free.
*(in fact most Western countries are richer than Japan)
Imagine if someone would make a fan translation of American movies or cartoons, like Frozen in Burmese for example. Disney would immediatley shut everything down and everyone would view it as piracy if you would say it in a forum, even if its translated in a Third World Language the original content wasnt made for.
Also i have noticed that Fan Translators act like little b#tches recentley. For example: a lot of the fan translations of older games are reproduced, the roms with the Fan Translations are put into a Reproduction SNES Cartridges for example. Like the original Clock Tower on SNES, these people do it to sell them on Ebay but they are using the Fan Translation instead of the original Japanese Rom.
So guess what? These Fan Translaters are complaining, ''how these Reproducers are taking their work without permission and not giving credit to the original translator''**whine**whine.
And i am thinking like: Well Duh, you prirate! You helped to make a copy of some one else entire work soley to be pirated. And there are people debating about that in forums and videos how wrong it is, instead debating the actuall wrong-doing that the original Japanese Creators wont see any penny from their work. If you fan translate you shouldnt be suprised if some else uses the same gray route for your work because both of you are meddling in the same place.
And Third: people are bitching about how Japanese Companys are taking down and claiming your videos on Youtube for various Japanese content. I mean why are you suprised? if they are the Number 1 targed for theft?
