DON’T YOU DEAR CROSS HOLLYWOOD BY CREATING KOREAN CLOSE CAPTION SUBTITLES ON PIRATED TV SERIES–ITS JAIL TIME FOR YOU BECAUSE ME BIG HOLLYWOOD YOU LITTLE KOREA–SINCE WE HATE GIVING FREE PASSES TO ANYTHING TO DO WITH AMERICANISM WHEN THE LIBERALS IN HOLLYWOOD CAN’T GET THEIR PAY BACK FIRST

Warner Bros., 20th Century Fox and other big TV producers in the U.S. are suing Koreans who have created subtitles for popular American TV series that were distributed illegally on the Internet.

Police here are investigating 15 people.

This is the first time that individuals here have been sued for merely making the subtitles for pirated TV series.
People who make subtitles without permission from the original authors or producers could face a jail sentence.

The suits allege that the subtitles created by the 15 Koreans enabled millions of viewers here to watch the shows even though they do not understand English.

The lawsuits have prompted illegal streaming websites here to shut down voluntarily.
American TV series have enjoyed a huge worldwide renaissance in the last decade that has not spared Korea, where the show "Prison Break" became subject to a near-cult in 2005.
