We've created a parallel corpus of English-Hungarian bitexts and
published on the web after shuffling the texts:
"Some raw materials used for the Hunglish corpus are under copyright
(literature, film subtitles, magazines). We prevented the illegal use of
copyrighted material by shuffling the texts at sentence level. This form
is still useful for research purposes, while it does not infringe upon
the rightholders' interests. If you are a copyright holder, and you
consider the shuffled files infringing, please send email and we will
remove the material in question from the corpus.
The Hunglish corpus is open for use (with the above restrictions) under
a creative commons attributions licence."
