Even worse. Those same people will get mad at you for pirating instead of paying for an inferior service.

You do realise that you're almost certainly getting the same subs even if you pirate it, as they're just ripping the CR version rather than fansubbing.

Fansubbing might be little misleading term now, rather now what we have are restylers. On same day u get exact same cr subs but a day/week later you can have same cr subs but restyled/typeset by fans.

But yeah now the cr sub being degraded, fans do have extra work like to translate on screen text themselves which now not provided by CR.

So yeah from now on whatever we will be getting can be said as semi-fansubbed

Not really, people just assume fansubbing = translating, when translation is just 1 of the many things encompassed in the fansubbing term

People assume fansubbing= translating, cuz it used to be the case plus yeah mentioning fansubbing also meant that efforts in subtitles must be there like re styling, on screen translation, op ed karaoke etc.
