A Dattebayo question

[gonrie.livejournal.com]

Hi, I'm kinda REALLY confused right now because, (I'm currently downloading episode 67), well... 
they uploaded it though here: http://www.dattebayo.com/pr/84 they mention the opposite (and that too was uploaded by the way...)
So... seriously, are they really gonna continue? I know many people think it's their 'own little joke' but I kinda doubt it... -_-'
Anyway, what do you think?

I was under the impression that they were not going to continue subbing. But *just as confused*

[hosh]

Anyone who follows the anime industry knows that in bringing fansubs a wider audience, streaming sites time have made it increasingly difficult for copyright holders to ignore the existence of the groups that subtitle and distribute their property. At some point, they will stop trying to go after the sites themselves and simply cut off the problem at the source (i.e., us). To paraphrase one of the few intelligent comments we've received in regards to this matter, people who are uploading our work to streaming sites are basically putting us in harm's way without our permission. Some people have commented that uploaders are "helping" us by making us more popular, but this is the kind of "help" we don't need.

In addition, as we have stated repeatedly, we do not approve of others taking our work and using it to make a profit. Many streaming sites not only solicit donations but fill their pages with ads, even though for the most part they are simply linking to videos that were uploaded at no cost (to YouTube or other sites) and are using free hosting services. This means that they are essentially scamming viewers into thinking that donations are required to keep their "free" service running, even though they are already making a profit off advertisements. We do not spend hours of our lives subbing episodes for free so that other people can make a profit off our videos with a few clicks of their mouse.

Also, they've got a comm: db_believe_it.

Um...how come it doesn't work for you? *_*

Ahhh, I'm always worried whenever DB makes posts like that, because we never know when they'll actually go through with it DDD:

There wasn't an episode last week, which is when they made that post. DB likes to pull "jokes" like this when they can.
