You can't just translate Harry Potter and sell it or give it away for free. edit: fixed analogy

  But the creators/translators of these subtitles weren't selling them, they uploaded them for free. I guess argument could be made that the actual site owner made money from ads (assuming there were ads on the site).

      Well I personally think that translating and distributing spoken dialogue from a film is quite different from translating a distributing a book. It's like song lyrics in my opinion. I realize that it is likely just as illegal according to today's copyright laws, but that something like this would warrant a police raid is just beyond me.

    that does not matter at all, you are "stealing" "intellectual property". yeah, those word are a dumb concept.
