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

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.
