Please remove copyrighted movies from the screenshot on your website. It provides evidence that this program is designed for violating copyright, which makes DCMA takedown trivial.

Please determine if these images fall under fair-use provisions and, if so, leave them in place. Bad actors - whoever they may be - need to see your rights constantly reasserted.

  The MPAA and other organizations use screenshots that show copyrighted material as "proof" that the tools are used for copyright violation, and then DMCA them. If you want to help pay for lawyers to fight those DMCA notices with counterclaims and lawsuits, put up or shut up; the FSF, EFF and ACLU have been noticeably disinterested in doing so.

  This has nothing whatsoever to do with fair use. It's about arguments in court about the intention of the software if sued. Images of copyrighted content indicate intent to infringe copyright. Without those, you can argue it's only meant to find and index Linux image torrents or whatever. Fair use doesn't enter the picture at all.

And they probably want to remove text like "It then further enriches this metadata by attempting to classify it and associate it with known pieces of content, such as movies and TV shows. It then allows you to search everything it has indexed."

  I don't see anything wrong with that if the example titles are under the correct licenses like the often used: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Buck_Bunny https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Buck_Bunny which can then be mapped to open databases like https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/10378-big-buck-bunny https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/10378-big-buck-bunny.

  There's nothing wrong with that since there are LOTS of free to share movies and tv shows especially those past their copyright dates.

Thanks - I only condone accessing the legal content available on BitTorrent, and my screenshots now embody this moral stance.

  Yes, I'm grateful for this being built so I can locate and identify all the copies of Linux I could download and install...

Indexing what is available for download is useful for research into piracy even if you don’t engage in piracy yourself.
