Dang, that sucks! at least the ones on their catalogue ryt now are mostly the old ones.....so I guess we gotta download the dramas we like ASAP before they get licensed...Sad

..................

I looked at the list...most of it are korean dramas.....hope they don't get too much of the japanese dramas 8crosses fingers*


I dont think the same thing will happen to JDramas. The Japanese dont care or just ignore that foreigners watch their dramas Mr. Green (do see all the Jdrama DVDs with english subs Roll Eyes )

So I think by reading this we are now reaching a new era concerning drama world... It's true it has already happenned in the past for anime , and there are still anime fansubbs so I think it's not the end of the world, I think it's rather good news. The negative points is the price though, but in this case, why not purchase dramas in Yes asia? It's affordable and I understood the english version is good most of the time.
Anyway, if softsubs and clubboxes are still allowed, that's a relief. Yet I just feel sad for all the teams which are doing an amazing job with these licensed series, it's such a pity...

I don't all understand.
When Dramas are licensed, they will removed on D.A Tracker.
But, if they are not in EngHardsub, why?
TV rip is not illegal, but DVD rip , yes.
Softsub is not illegal, but Hardsub , yes


Why some Raws file are being deleted? ( Freeze, Jumong, My Girl...)?

I am all for licensed series. I usually rent them because I certainly cannot afford to buy them.

My main reason for downloading from d-addicts is because of the English subtitles. My English is not the best but my god, have you guys seem some of these licensed kdramas? The English is so bad that its a joke. Sometimes I wonder how these companies allowed these series with poor English subtitles be sold on the market. I am sure they paid their translators.

You subbers are doing this for free. My hats off to you guys. Your work is greatly appreicated.

its so sad. YA DVDs are so expensive. i can't afford one. if clubbox is still available then its good. just need to learn how to use them. Laugh or i can get them somewhere else. i'm just sad that all of the fansub teams work will go to waste. Crying i hope its not the end of the world here yet. i just hate some of the translated work of those licensed dramas because the subs sometimes sucks. i think D-addicts fansubbers are the best! thank you very much for all the hard works

when a series gets licensed that means the licensed works i.e. the video have to be removed this include raws as they are part of the licensed works. i.e. things produced by the original publisher the licensor.

Softsub is just a text file that is derivative creation and created from scratch by fans, as far as I know this has never been challenge before in the motion media world. I only know of instances where a translation was illegal and that was for a book in which case the whole work is basically text. I think that case doesn't apply here since the original work is video.

*sigh* here we go again with the lawsuits... but then again, i guess we all knew this was coming sometime or other right?

it kind of sucks that they were pulled with no warning though... being in the middle of a drama and having to wait until i can buy the overpriced dvd is a major bummer >.<

Maybe in France it's legal but it's illegal in the US to distribute even TV rips. The law I think is called Fair Use and basically it states it is legal to rip it yourself but once you download from someone else who distributing it, it is illegal. The law is lame though, I rip from TV, it is okay, I download the same thing from the net, it is illegal. I think softsubs are illegal also--you are translating someone else's work w/o their permission.

i definitely agree with that. man that sucks and i hope they can make the prices lower. its so expensive. if they can compete with the prices of the pirated ones i might buy from them but for now might just enjoy watching dramas from here or youtube. make the price reasonable.

OK, TV-rip is not allowed, it's cool....
Fortunately, Clubbox exist. But why Freeze are being deleted, and Jumong OST?

Freeze is not licensed by YA Entertainment.

I have to say that I'm not to shock by this sudden news. However, I'm sadden by it Sad The strange thing is before I found this wonderful website I use to just rent a lot of my favorite dramas off an asian internet video site. Once they would arrive in the mail I would burn myself a copy to keep in my collection Laugh It looks like I might have to go back to this very same method again for certain dramas.

What I really like about d-addicts is that you all provided the fansubs for certain dramas that would never be translated into english Smile Can you guys at least keep making english translations for the dramas? and just not ever upload the actual raw video...I know of one website that only uploads the translations for certain dramas and viewers have to search the internet to locate the raw video on their own.

So, I don't think you guys need to stop with translations of the dramas on their list. Just don't put raw video of any kind for the translations on your site and everything should be okay...

It is not true for France. There is a law called DADVSI who forbids any private copy even if we possess an original. (It is the only country which has the similar law)
Thus, French have no right to possess a TV-Rip. (Even if I make a rip myself)

It is damage that the concerned drama are removed but I understand perfectly your situation to stay in the legality in your country.
At least, thank you to make us share all these dramas

PS : Excuse me for the faults but I don't speak English very well.
