Renren Films Subtitle Group was investigated, and the truth was revealed by the industry: the operator was arrested

Yesterday, there were reports that the Renren Film and Television Subtitle Group was shut down, 14 criminal suspects headed by Liang were arrested, 3 companies involved in the case were investigated and dealt with, 20 mobile phones and 12 computer hosts and servers used to commit the crime were seized, and the amount involved in the case was more than 16 million yuan.

This incident has sparked heated discussions online, because Renren Subtitle Group can be said to be the representative of domestic subtitle groups. They have translated many overseas film and television works over the years. Netizens believe that these subtitle groups have made free contributions and worked with love, and it is a pity that they are being shut down now.

Many people look at this issue from the perspective of the subtitle group generating power with love. However, people who have worked in a subtitle group have a different view. For example, netizen @鲓大夫飞觴醉月高臥翻书is also a member of a subtitle group and has made many contributions.

According to her information, many people may not have read the news carefully. First of all , the people who were arrested this time were the operators of Renren Films, not the subtitle workers themselves. Those members of the subtitle group who worked with love did not break the law. Only the operators who infringed on other people's copyrights and made profits were arrested.

Secondly, these operators are not the translators who work with love and are admired by netizens. On the contrary, these operators severely exploit the translation members. The workload of the grassroots translators is heavy, but they do not receive corresponding remuneration. The profits and fame are obtained by the operators.

In addition, these operators not only ask for money from viewers (pay to watch), but also use the work of translators to lower prices and negotiate cooperation with video platforms.

In short, judging from the revelations of industry insiders, the operators of the Renren Film and Television Subtitle Group are not only breaking the law, but their original intention of making subtitles has long since changed and they have become a commercial profit-making organization.

In addition, there are many incidents on the Internet that many people have not noticed regarding the operators of the Renren Film and Television Subtitle Group. For example, the previous incident of selling a hard drive. In addition to the works of the Renren Subtitle Group, the hard drive sold for as much as 10,000 yuan also contained works translated by other subtitle groups. The operators took the works for profit without their knowledge, which was also opposed by many subtitle groups.

There are many more situations. If you are interested, you can check out this young lady’s Weibo and the revelations of other netizens. This matter is not as simple as imagined. You will get a clear picture if you listen to both sides.
