Typical subbers

Now let's turn away from the naive analysis that presumes the upstanding competition model towards the seedy underbelly of fansubbing and claims that Hatsuyuki used gg's scripts. Funny how the minion of gg forgets to mention that Hatsuyuki's Kampfer was obviously superior to their own speedsub (while also available officially in legacy formats). Would not fit the narrative?

ACTUALLY. What I am driving here is that even if Hatsuyuki used gg's scripts, they a) produced a better sub, b) delivered it late. Isn't it the trade-off that gg embedded into their mode of operation? They are speedsubbers in order to grab the impatient, the vast majority who do not care about quality. I don't see how they have any ground for complaints how someone cleaned up their errors. It's not like they made the anime, so their ownership claims are laughable (albeit technically perhaps they may be right, due to warped IP laws), and we ought to thank Hatsuyuki for their efforts (again, even assuming the claims in the linked post to be true).

UPDATE: Omo says, and hopefuly I correctly expand his thought beyond 140 characters, that if Hatsuyuki used gg's script, they should've credited gg; therefore, gg is entitled to the outrage. It's a persuasive argument that reduces the whole issue to the investigation of the veracity. Did they or did they not? Meanwhile, no matter the outcome, attention is shifted away from gg's decisions, trade-offs, and whining. Also, away from the lack of explicit license.
