  • Description of the Project:
  • We created our own subtitle files and seeded them on popular pirate download sites. We flooded the subtitles with translation mistakes so that they altered the sense of the series dialogue and made our message evident: Do not depend on subtitles. Switch to Británico. www.britanico.edu.pe
    The brand was therefore present in TV’s most popular series, in the most attention grabbing placement in the show: the subtitles.
    We seeded our SRTs on websites such as The Pirate Bay and Subdivx.com, two of the most popular sites for series downloads.
