Am I wrong that a script is copyrighted and thus charging for it, something they have no right to distribute, opens them to all sorts of potential legal action? It’s a lot easier to look the other way when it’s free. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/04/fan-made-subtitl... (2017)
I predicted this moment when they switched to opensubtitles.com domain. Realistically though, their importance has diminished noticeably with tools like Whisper.
If you mean OpenAI's Whisper, has anyone created an actual product that people can use with downloaded videos?
Honestly, with things like whisper out in the world it's not as much of a loss. The integration with media players was nice, though.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Like some open source projects moving to a "source available" or "fair code" licenses, it is going to be bumpy finding equilibrium as to what is reasonable. Tragedy of the commons for sure. There are costs to cover, and usage profiles can vary wildly.
And when they do that people just fork and go along with their own. Tofu being a great example, opensearch somewhat less.
Very few people, even few programmers, would be able to take on maintaining complicated software like tofu alone, for example.

Nice, so now we have OpenAI and OpenSubtitles that has 'Open' in their name and not open :)
We have neither the source code nor training data.

Yes you are wrong because a movie script and movie subs are not the same thing at all
The subs wouldn’t exist without the original work.
Edit: Yes, it’s a subset of the script and not thee script itself, and being a pedant about that isn’t a useful point. It’s just pedantic.
It’s still open for us casual users, anonymous free users can download 10 subtitles per day, above that you need a subscription (mainly affects API users).

> Your consumer can query the API on its own, and download 5 subtitles per IP's per 24 hours, but a user must be authenticated to download more.
