> I've also seen Hulu using fansubs for some of their Korean TV [1]. Hulu wasn't "caught" using fansubs - they have a legitimate deal with DramaFever[0][3], which in turn gets the subtitles from K-drama fansubbing groups like Haru2subS (the group you mentioned) and WITH S2: > DramaFever has been working closely with the broadcasters as well as fansub groups such as WITH S2 to make dramas available with high quality subs.[1] > Today we are presenting a drama that needs no introduction: Boys Over Flowers. We are proud to be the first to legally release this online for our US audience along with the amazing subtitling from WithS2.[2] As for this: > Ironically, many fansubs are of higher quality than official subs, especially when it comes to idiomatic expressions in the source language. It makes perfect sense when you consider that official subbers are required to make the subs as accessible as possible, to create a broad audience. On the other hand, fansubbers translate how they want to. Although this might put off some newbies, most watchers get acclimated to and eventually come to expect the fansubbers' approach. A similar phenomenon can be observed in the anime fansub community. 0: http://www.dramafever.com/ http://www.dramafever.com/ 1: http://www.d-addicts.com/forum/viewtopic_77984.htm http://www.d-addicts.com/forum/viewtopic_77984.htm 2: http://blog.dramafever.com/2009/04/we-got-boys-over-flowers/ http://blog.dramafever.com/2009/04/we-got-boys-over-flowers/ 3: http://www.hulu.com/companies/311 http://www.hulu.com/companies/311
