I've been learning mandarin as a second language for the past couple of years and I came across subtitle translations of English movies to mandarin (so, you could burn a DVD with these subtitle files and be able to see the Mandarin). This has helped me in the learning process.

Many of the subtitle sites have been taken down by the MPAA. I love the idea of your site, but I think if it gets big enough, they will eventually take you to court.

Thank you for your reply. I think they can close this project down without taking me to court
You might be able to get permission or license it. I think it would probably be much cheaper than actually licensing the content. Have you tried contacting anyone in the industry?
I wasn't be able to find any educational license that could be suitable for this project. And I don't know who should I contact in the industry
