does any1 know where i can find free download movies with english subitile? i have rapidshare account
 
if you just google it, you'll come up with countless subtitle sites and players- I do this so I can play subtitles along with my Netflix films.

As for the downloading films thing, how bout we keep it legal here?
 
I see disappointment on the horizon.

First you go to all the trouble to steal the movie, and then when you pirate free captions, you find to your horror most of the damned words are spelled without using numbers, and sentences begin with capital letters and are fairly well punctuated.

Some DVD releases don't have subtitles, so those subtitle websites are great. I don't understand what you mean about numbers, and I am not critical about spelling and grammatical errors as long as I can understand the plot of the movie.

The only disappointment I have experienced is when subtitles are out of sync, which can usually be fixed anyway. :)

Not all people "pirate" subtitles because they've stolen the content they're watching- I use netflix, a legal and completely non-captioned service. I can't take advantage of traditional burned-on captions which are non-adjustable in font or accessable via some alternative device (ie, braille) anyways, so I download my own captions for almost everything. This is not illegal.

I'd rather be able to access my lower-quality captions via LP or braille than have "legal" and higher quality captions I can't actually use.

Of course you know I didn't say nor intend the meaning of "all people." Most readers and people enjoying captioned works know my point is that lots of activities not currently illegal still steals from those in the business of providing writing services for a living.

Someone pirated the captions. If everyone used the freebies, those who write them would have to find other work. What goes around actually does come back around.

It's a bit of a paradox, for now anyway. I have downloaded SRT files from various movie subtitle websites so that I could enjoy a movie on Netflix's "watch instantly" service. I'm aware that the only reason that these SRT files are available is because people download movies to watch them without paying. In order to rip the subtitle from the DVD you generally have to crack and remove the CSS or other copy protection as well, which is a violation of the DMCA.
If it were not for movie pirates I would not be able to use a legitimate and legal method of watching movies online.

Joe, your last sentence is certainly a contradiction, saying the electronic pirates create a proper, lawful system.

But I do see your point . . . and also admit to righteous hypocracy. A few decades ago, I lived in a remote area where VHS tapes were my sole source of TV. A friend or two copied movies and programs with closed captions for me. I know some electronic security codes were skirted to accommodate me, and all the tapes were illegal and dishonest, but they and I thought it was okay because I couldn't hear very well.

If I were now in the same situation, maybe I'd still get my video fix and rationalize that I don't wear an eye patch or an earring and I don't threaten anyone with a cutlass, so I'm not really a pirate, ha ha.
 
Actually, copyright laws are pretty variable on the matter. For example, as a blind person, it's -NOT- illegal for me to download ebooks, even if the person who posted the book didn't have the legal right to do so. Likewise, if I was to come across a protected ebook meant to be purchased, it would be completely legal for me to crack the protections and access the book.

Gotta love laws.

You got that right. If I've learned anything in my 66 years on earth, it's that there's a bible verse, a statute, or exception to cover every possible situation, ha ha ha.

You know what's really interesting? Here in Canada, it is not illegal to download songs but it is illegal to upload them. You see, we put a levy on the blank CDs sold across Canada to "compensate" the artists. To tell you the truth, they probably don't get any just like the artists get nothing from the RIAA in the USA.

Somebody successfully argued in the Supreme Court in Ottawa that by paying the levy on blank CDs, we are fully entitled to download any copyrighted songs we please to.

You can bet the lawyers were kicking themselves that day.
