ElectricRaichu,

I appreciate the detailed response! I agree with you that the best way to go about subbing is to get permission from both translator and producer.

I was wondering in particular if there is any issue with simply translating song lyrics and posting it on a website, rather than reprinting a video with subtitles. For most of the translations posted on here or say, on your blog, in cases where the producer don't have an explicitly stated policy, do you contact the producer and ask for permission to translate, or do you assume good faith, since the resulting translation won't be for profit?
