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.

Why would you pirate a movie and then pay for subtitles? Makes no sense.
even better, pirate a movie, then pay to play the subtitles roulette where you download 30 identical files that differ only on the timing

And decent pirated movies/TV shows will already come with the subtitles embedded in the video container nowadays, which is great.
True, but quite often the subtitles are in vobsub which sucks.
Agreed, image-based subs are terrible…
