I'm reading the thread this moment. And I love how the ANN users who 'hate fansubs' are practically yelling 'so what'? I don't know if the guy/gal is a moderator or not... but Im laughing my ass off reading how they try to justify Funimation doing this. I've always said ANN and Funi are hyprocrites. Oh well. I'll continue reading the thread. It certainly made me smile this morning.
Horrible subs does all the ripping for free, and Funimation takes advantage of it. Horrible has no rights -- Funi does. Sounds like Funimation is just being a smart business.

Nobody defended Horrible Subs rights. HS steals from CrunchyRoll, so the screwed ones are CR. Now, one would argue that the subs that CR uses are owned by Funimation due to the licensing and such... but... why use the HS in Funi's studio?
In their right? Maybe. Smart business? Maybe. Bad PR? Absolutely. To get the fansub, Funimation must have used one of two options. Bittorrent or Direct Download (ok, mIRC is a third, but lets leave it out). By using Bittorrent they are basically uploading the video themselves... and Funimation sues anyone downloading fansubs...hmmm.
Ah whatever. I'll just laugh at this.
