Torrent meta-search engine

From a legal aspect, how is this going to last at all? IANAL but I was under the impression most meta-search engines operated in at least a semi-grey area because they don't spoon feed illegal content to you. Most just index the big trackers and (conveniently) don't discriminate between illegal and legal content. I feel like when you are dropping torrents into buckets more specific than "video" and "audio" (e.g. linking multiple torrents to a specific movie, highlighting the HD versions) any conventional argument against aiding copyright infringement is out the window.

Awesome site though.

Guess they aren't going with the plausible deniability legal route.

Awesome site but it's too flashy. My guess is that it'll draw too much attention and have to be taken down even though I would love a torrent site that doesn't make my eye's bleed.

"Takedown Policy Please include the full URLs to the infringing material; no categories or search queries. We follow the same takedown policy that Google uses." etc, etc
