I think ol' Bootstrap Bill was 'curse free' due to the fact that he opposed the theft. He didn't take any from the chest, but he DID take it from another pirate.
But then why did they need his blood? We know they only needed the blood of people who took from the chest, because if they needed blood from everyone who'd just *had the gold*, they'd have needed Elizabeth's blood too.
But it could be that, well, he's at the fucking bottom of the OCEAN man.
True. It may have taken them a long time for them to figure out that they needed him, after which they had no idea where the hell they'd dropped him off.
...and if the fish didn't eat him little by little, suddenly becoming mortal after 20 years under water, well, fuck, he's dead THEN. :O
Indubitably! He's dead by the end of the movie, unless he *was* cursed when he went under, and pulled a Houdini before the curse was lifted. Which wouldn't be impossible, since he had years to free himself and walk back to land.
