Another reason is that with softsubs, fansubbers would have to provide a RAW, which not only would be stolen by other fansubs but a lot of people use them to sell in eBay, etc. There are a range of problems arisen if they would use softsubs, and only a fool would question why EVERY fansubber uses hardsubs without researching the reason.

Ok, but it just sounds like excuses for mediocrity to me. I'm not buying it, but that's just me. And ASS is fine; if it's not, people need to drop buggy players. I mean, this is the same kind of thinking that thinks it should cater to archaic AVI and WMP, which of course go with archaic mp3. I mean, people can rip whatever they want, but I'd be willing to bet most people who are looking for opening song videos and the like are not going to prefer hardsubbed romaji, but in fact the opposite. And the insistence on how easy raws are is just silly and unfounded. I mean, not everyone has anime pirate sites as their homepage. Besides that it doesn't keep the hardsub floods from getting in the way.
