Nice, so now we have OpenAI and OpenSubtitles that has 'Open' in their name and not open :)

A classic tactic used by conmen. Make the victim trust you, then snatch their belongings. Easier than open confrontation.

Well, imdb.com did that without open in the name. Its entire initial database was crowd sourced, end users entering in data about movies, series, tv shows, basically it was wikipedia like.

Then one day it said "oh, so sorry, now this is commercial"
