Happy Year of the Horse!

First, I want to thank everyone who commented on my last post. It reinforces my belief that drama fans are by and large a great group of people :)  Truly, thank you. It can be difficult to do projects like this if you feel like you're working in a void.

I also want to thank those of you who offered suggestions, such as using pay-per-click sites or accepting donations. I didn't want to do either when I began subtitling, but I think I may switch to a pay-per-click system. It's certainly understandable why many subbers choose to go this route now.

I think it's important that we do speak up and call out sites that steal subtitles. I didn't write or produce the drama, of course, but the subtitles are my work and my work alone. If we continue to be silent and just accept that things get stolen, it will never, ever stop, and it may create further problems in other aspects of the drama community. I am a shy person, but I do believe in standing up for what is right. People who plagiarise material face stiff penalties and even jail time, at least in my country. I know we will never be able to wipe out that kind of thing, in the realm of subtitling or elsewhere, but if we don't speak up then there is no chance it will stop on any level.

Anyway, enough of my soapbox and on to the news you're most interested in: the subs for episode 5 are out now! You know where to go :)  Enjoy, and Happy New Year!
