I'm sure you'll right. The MPAA will get this taken down as soon as they are aware of it. Which is a shame because it's a very nice looking and functional website.
Aside: the MPAA can do this, of course, because they give lots of money to politicians. If Trump really wants to "drain the swamp" he could be more pro-freedom on file sharing and copyright. Many Trump supporters feel Holywood supports the Democrats, so it's not like he will lose much support over this. A Republican staffer suggested something similar a while ago ( https://politics.slashdot.org/story/12/11/16/2354259/gop-brief-attacks-current-copyright-law https://politics.slashdot.org/story/12/11/16/2354259/gop-bri... ) but was shot down.

- pbhjpbhj 10y agoIf the MPAA put the site up aren't they then implicitly authorising it's use. Surely that would preclude any suggestions of tortuous infringement. If I put a sign on my house saying "please take anything you like" and people take stuff then it's no longer burglary. If someone else puts the sign up, who isn't authorised, then it is still theft. Of course following that analogy through, if MPAA aren't authorised then any content owners should be able to successfully sue them for contributory infringement. People in the UK have been extradited for such things. Extradition of MPAA bosses for running a torrent site would be hilarious (but still wrong!).
