Who are these fansubbers? Selfless cinéphiles, useful idiots or plain copyright bandits? 🤔 @cristweets @malsubtitles

OK, one thing I like about @MalSubtitles is their gorgeous Malayalised posters. 😍 #മലയാളലിപി
Counterfeit with some effort put in. 💯
This in turn is atrocious 🤮 (#The400Blows is the worst title translation in film history). #ലേ400കൂ
In an ideal world, #subtitlers would:
✅ respect authors’ copyright and work legally;
✅ be recognised and remunerated as authors;
✅ have their name on the poster.

Dr Hasan Manzar’s “translation” can be found on @Rekhta. Two editions are available. This one 👇🏼 (New Delhi: Modern Publishing House, 2002) I found had a better print quality. 3/n
