To be honest, nothing on the Internet is “much ado about nothing.” As how any technology can be abused to no end, the applications of Internet use is also being abused to no ends.
Much of the spirit of what this post is, is about how my favourite hobby has degenerated into something what one blogger calls “a cesspool.”
I have to admit, as he calls it, that much of what we do today is the result of “self” interests. It’s interesting to note, that the concept of “self” has been the key feature in human survival. Because each human understood “self”, the relative emotion, “selfish”, has also become a key feature in ensuring human survival. A local newspaper (I have no reference/pictures to put up since SPH “forbids upload of content in any form… without prior permission.”) just have to make my day, and prominently display one-page length article about the Japanese’ attempts against P2P (courtesy of ANN.) This newspaper has, in my opinion, a very biased stand against end-users using P2P; previously it has erroneously reported one of Odex’s director’s admission of “bragging” by 2 months (it was, at that press time, 3 weeks before, courtesy of ZDNet Asia), and if one can read between the lines, the constant report of Odex’s activities, such as their invitation of the Japanese companies, and bringing in Mark Ishikawa, the CEO of BayTSP, one can deduce that it is indeed biased. Apart from the fact that it is a tabloid newspaper. I don’t intend to take sides, but the whole issue of the “end times of fansubbing” is a bit exaggerated. We have to admit that the more sensible people will also be “hauled up along with the black sheep” in the long run. I don’t understand any more of the so-called “fansubbing wars,” but all in all, where is sensibility, people? I don’t think your brain “had just evaporated into nothingness?”
