Sažetak
From July to October 2015, one of the two largest fansubbing sites in Croatia, prijevodi-online.org, organized a strike against the unauthorized use of their subtitles by the second major fansubbing site, titlovi.com. The fansubbers claimed their files were being modified without their consent, their identification marks removed, andthe files displayed on the rival site as authored by the other community. The owner of the rival domain was accused of incurring financial profit on their unpaid volunteer labour. As has been previously attested (Hemmungs Wirtén 2012 ; Yildiz 2017), such instances are not rare, and the issue of fan-to-fan piracy may require closer examination. Despite this, the literature on the subject is scant, possibly because the position of fansubbing is ambiguousregarding copyright and authorship issues. Tapping intothe wider issue of copyright infringement, the rights of authors, translators and copyright holders, these types of situations suggest the development of a new kind of digital society, one in which the discourse regarding the personal rights of authors isretained, but the notion of who and how should exercise them is being redefined. The aim is to explore the practical causes and effects of the strike regarding the fansubbing scene in Croatia, while linking its theoretical framework to the tenets of the copyright law. The paper is partially based on a conference presentation held at the 2017 Congrès Mondial de Traductologie but has since been revised and expanded.
