Subtitles also help those with hearing disabilities, so subtitling should be considered an essential service. I can't tell you how many retail DVDs I bought in the past of old films that had no captioning or subtitles whatsoever. Every now and then I'll grab a classic film torrent and the subtitles exist on SubScene that didn't exist on the retail DVD I bought more than a decade ago.

Its also a religious service that should be protected in the US by the constitution https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Missionary_Church_of_Kopimism
