DramaCrazy and AnimeCrazy are shutting down?

Jul 2, 2013 11:44 pm

The internet was made so that we could share our knowledge with one another easily. Now dont get me wrong, i do believe that we can use the internet to make money, but this is ridiculous! i HATE using dramafever. i will if i have not other choice, but not if i am being forced into it. there are some dramas that i will never watch because of the scandals that go around them, so why should i watch on a site that has helped shut down a site that helps spread knowledge?

It reminds me on the book 1984 ..Big Brother is watching you...nowadays is one sure .."who controls the inernet controls everything"...and yes, paid sites are not guarantee for quality...

Paid sites make me angry. It's like when I went to Ireland. Every gas station that was not name brand was clean. But we had to go to a Conoco, pay to use the bathroom, and it was dirty. That's what DramaFever is for me.

Everything available on DC is available elsewhere, most of the subs there are from other subbers who BTW 99% have asked people not to repost their stuff on DC. They probably closed because they finally got caught up in too many cease & desists from the various companies due to copyright. Just look around though, it's not the end of the world & you can find all your Dramas in other places. It's not that hard to find. :)

I don't actually think it a bad ideas. Because if they see how people seem to be seriously affected by the fact that a streaming site shutdown can actually make the broadcasting companies be a little more lenient with their redistributing rights. So that companies that actually have the rights to redistribute can get dramas easier.

As for finding the dramas elsewhere well you also need to know where to look for it.

I have an idea we need to make a list of all sites we know and then spread it by mp

Ooo we should. If we do it via private message it shouldn't be trouble right?

Well it would be nice in an ideal world but imo it's wishful thinking that the big corporations will ever understand that they should distribute their Dramas/Movies digitally a low-ish price, thus probably increasing sales drastically & curbing fansubs/pirating in the process, but if they haven't figured that out by now my guess is we will be waiting for a long time for that to actually happen & all the red tape to be cut.

As for where to find stuff; I didn't know where to look when I started but all it required was a bit few hours of searching, I don't know, wasn't that hard tbh.

There's also a site that starts with good and ends with drama. I guess I can say as much.

Yeah I've found a ton of sites because to be honest some of Dramacrazy's SpeeyJoe videos were not working for me so I had to look elsewhere and I found some gems for certain dramas. ^^ Also they never did have very good videos for variety shows. Made me sad. :/

I actually have compiled such a list, but honestly no idea where to maintain it while it not being super obvious & a way where a couple of people could keep it up-to-date. It's in need of pruning & fixing up a bit but if you have any ideas then feel free to PM me.
