I am the developer of a project with a small community known as Offflix.
Now I recently discovered that Yts has an api, and it is too irresistible for me to integrate it into my project as a simple in app click to download any movie.
So, would doing that and making the code open source be illegal? I am not a US citizen and I am not technically ripping movies, I am just packaging yts’s functionality inside my app.
Would github flag and destroy me repo if I do this?
The reason they were banned on leetx is because they sold out their user email lists to an anti-piracy law firm which tried to extort money from people. I wouldn’t trust people like that. I especially would be wary of subjecting users to people like that. Torrent freak has coverage if you care to search.
