Because distribution of fan-subtitled content is a violation of copyright laws in most countries, the ethical implications of producing, distributing, or watching fansubs are topics of much controversy.

Enough so... that Youtube kicks them.
You know what, I have to think this is shit. If this same clip showed up in one of those movies that spoofs on other movies it would be called a parody.

If you don't think the clip makes fun of the original work then I'm going to have a long chat with you debating this. But I don't want to do this here. It would take away from the original meaning of the thread.
