Bootleggers have to keep up with technology, alot of releases have no English subtitles (to curb bootlegging also I think) so if there's a demand for a film and the bootleggers know it then they have to find a way to meet the demand, be happy that the subs are good, alot of times they're full of "Engrish".

There is no official Region 0 DVD -> Bootleg
You bought it from e-Bay (CK,ST or MV) -> Bootleg

and it is a great copy.

"great copy" - > Bootleg

...The picture itself could be cleaner but it is no way any kind of bootleg.

The wonders of "digital" technology. Everything is "1" and "0"'s. i.e. everything can be done perfectly. So don't fall into the mindtrap that because it looks like the original -it- cannot be a bootleg.

But I have never seen a bootleg copy where someone has remixed subtitles onto dvd.

That's why you bought the bootleg (unknowingly) is because it was an Asian film that was R0 and it had English subtitles!!!!

There are two types of people:

1) They want the movie that hasn't been released here -and- they want it to have ENGLISH SUBS and be Region Free
2) They want the movie and see it has subs and buy it.

Cheers!
