There are actual benefits to softsubs, such as easy patching of script errors and the ability to take screenshots without subtitles obstructing the picture, and perhaps most importantly that hardsubs eat up video bitrate that could be going towards better picture quality or lower filesize.
These are reasons soft subs SHOULD be standard in every release in the year 2013, and taking them away because someone is "misusing" their release despite giving full credit to the original work is just being disrespectful to your fanbase that won't TOUCH Farmer'sMarket's release.
Was it a dick move to take their subtitle files without giving them a heads up? Yes, but things on the internet WILL be pirated, and WILL be misused, licensing, copyright or DRM be damned.
Is this release hurting PM or their fanbase? No, it is not, it is providing an additional service to those who have an interest in the same product PM provides, but with a modification PM does not provide on their own.
