I wanted to watch Downtown Rocket with my family, but it's just not available anywhere outside Japan. So I actually ordered the DVDs from Japan, but they don't have English subtitles so my family can't understand them. There are plenty of pirate sites that have the show subtitled, but I don't want to use them. So my family just never watched it.

Why not use them? There is nothing immoral about them.

If you want to avoid pirated videos but subbed video exists, maybe just subtitle file is downloadable in somewhere.
