    Why would you pirate a movie and then pay for subtitles? Makes no sense.

      And decent pirated movies/TV shows will already come with the subtitles embedded in the video container nowadays, which is great.

        True, but quite often the subtitles are in vobsub which sucks.

      even better, pirate a movie, then pay to play the subtitles roulette where you download 30 identical files that differ only on the timing

      Many pirates will pay for newsgroup access. People also pay for hard drive space, power for servers, hardware, etc. Pirating doesn’t mean people are never paying for anything. That said, I won’t pay for subtitles. I’ll just wait til the community figures something else out.
