  So, is there a good machine readable list of porn movie names, to use as a material for random-repo-name-generator? :)

    That was my first thought as well. However, with them going after single words like "edge" and "thrust", I believe this is not possible.

  This is exactly what class action suits are for.

  It seems wrong that a repo rename be necessary because someone somewhere happened to make a similarly named porn movie. I entirely sympathize with the repo owner who does not want to engage in legal interaction. I guess in practice it all boils down to where the burden of proof lies. I'd expect that the onus be on "Takedown Piracy LLC" to prove the repo contains infringing content and not on the repo owner to demonstrate that it doesn't. Does anyone know how this works?
