Ever since they had to go and 'improve' on Initial D (both manga and anime), they lost alot of credibility in the eyes of alot of my friends and myself. Frankly, the industry should be glad for the fansubbers, otherwise they wouldn't have an industry at all. The fansubbing community (and even podcasts like these) are the real reason why anime and manga has grown in popularity these past 10-15 years. Too many people come into the store I work in asking if a series is out yet because they saw it online first. Sadly, that seems to be about par for TokyoPop any more.

Gonzo is paying for someone to translate and distribute the streaming video, while fansubbers do it for free. So in a sense we are screwing Gonzo over more by watching their translated version that they are paying for than the fansubber's version.
