Well I guess it can be considered quite neutral in the sense that it doesn't go on about fansubbers = pirates. And the suggestion for Japanese companies to create services that can actually compete with fansubs in terms of speed is welcomed.
But other than that I don't think it deviates much from the regular view of fansubbing in a country where few people know what BitTorrent is. I question the need to bring up Geneon Entertainment's recent demise.

When it all comes down to it, if you think that you're about to be sued, you will rethink your past actions and pray for some sort of salvation imo. When that salvation occurs, then you usually change your behaviour in some way.

Yes, you stop using BitTorrent. Which is basically what happened in Singapore. But people still get their fansubs through other means.
