Reuploading, reuploading and reuploading...
Reuploading.
There are so many kind people who reupload for us fans, just in case when we can't download from a certain site or when the links are dead.
So let's talk about reuploading.
Is there anyone who talks bad about reuploads? I wonder...
We impatient fans (it's a given for us to be impatient after all) cannot wait for new releases; we always check our Twitter Timeline, FaceBook or LiveJournal feed. When we see something available to download, we can always see this usual line: NO REUPLOADING OR REPOSTING or something similar. Also, what we can always see at the end of entries is the (ORIGINAL) SOURCE. That cannot be missed by any means.
These things are reuploaded things, as you may have realised.
Reuploading from original sources
For the start, let's talk about the original source - without source, no fandom stuffs!
Most of the fandom stuffs are there mostly thanks to Chinese fans (or is it just me?), whose main base is weibo. Yeah, when you come there, you can see so many treasures; treasures in a very very good quality. Who wouldn't want it, right?
But don't forget, it's China (don't worry I don't want to be racist about them) - they have blocked Twitter, FaceBook... So their biggest social networking site is Sina Weibo. Fans upload stuffs on Baidu and then post it via Weibo. Without them, we wouldn't be updated about the fandom at all. Simply, it's the almost golden source for us when it comes to the best quality.
However, when downloading from Baidu, you will be shocked after looking at your download progress: “OH MY GOD IT'S TOO SLOW!” Well, it's kinda understandable (for us fangirls) that you want to download the best quality so you have to expect that the file will be really big, so it will took longer to finish the downloading (unless you have a light download speed). What's a worse fact though, your downloading is taking longer because the download speed is slow as for us, international fans. It's just my own view of the point though, because it can be really fast at times and also slow at times. But it seems like it's always fast for Chinese.
They are kinda isolated from us, international fans (I'm not saying that all of them are though). They share things on weibo, for other Chinese fans. All their download links are locked with a password, and with every discovered rulesbreaker, their password are getting harder and harder to solve even for Chinese. Most of them don't want to share stuffs with us, international fans. That's why most of them also do include NO REPOSTING even in English, despite they can't speak English well. But not everyone does this though. Just saying.
But as good cannot exist without bad and vice versa. There are always rulesbreakers. Or well, I can't say exactly rulesbreakers but the so-called 'rulesbreakers'. The rulesbreakers, despite understanding lines like simple NO REPOSTING/NO REUPLOADING are reuploading/reposting. The mine so-calles 'rulesbreakers', who don't understand Chinese (which is expected), reupload without knowing the fact that they shouldn't be reuploading.
Chinese can be really allergic to this, that's why they always think of a really difficult passwords. When they find out that someone has broken their rules, they will stop providing the stuffs. Simple, right? We won't be able to watch our favourite shows with our boys in it. Do you want for this to happen?
Well anyways no matter rulesbreakers or so-called 'rulesbreakers', in both cases we can't do nothing but to tell them that they shouldn't do so. Where the fire started, by adding fire it would be a bigger fire, right? Kindly tell them that they shouldn't do what they shouldn't, and maybe you can even gain a new friend.
Reuploaders, if you're reading this, please pay attention to what the original source says... If no reupload is allowed, just ask them for the permission. That won't hurt neither of you.

That's all I can say as for now, it's just my own view of the point though, it's up to you how you will take it.
