Be aware that this is a legal gray or even dark area, if your product becomes big you can expect to be hassled or sued by the media companies.

Interesting, which part of it? The fact it consumes from subscene.com without asking them or because downloading subtitles are illegal?

Reason why I'm asking is because I don't know, and obviously I don't feel like getting in trouble for a weekend hobby project.

In a way there is nothing illegal about offering links to another site. But subtitles are a derivative work of the original text so they are copyrighted and also you typically only need subtitles for movies obtained in a questionable way. So you immediately get involved in legally shady stuff.

The main problem is that if you get sued you stand to lose a lot of money, even if you eventually win.

Nothing illegal about this application.
