Hi everyone! It's been quite a while since I last was posting on here!
So, about a week ago, I stumbled upon an interesting French documentary on North Korea on YouTube that has apparently been there since 2007. As I'm studying French and translation, I got the idea of subbing the documentary in English, mainly for fun and for the experience. When I was done, I put the vids on YouTube, they were 100% public at first. Then I started having my doubts as to the legality of what I was doing and moved them to unlisted addresses (PM me if you want to see them).
Do you think there is a possibility that the French channel will sue me for a billion euros if they are made public? I know the unsubbed version has been there for 3 years already, that there are a lot of music clips with translated lyrics, a lot of parody subs etc, but I haven't yet seen a whole documentary with unauthorized subs. Also, I don't speak either French or English as my native language so the subs are almost sure to contain some errors.
