As far as I can tell, the copyright mafia's legal action plan is "throw stuff at the wall, see what sticks". MPA tried to get the source code repository for Nyaa.si removed from GitHub by saying "the Project, which, when downloaded, provides the downloader everything necessary to launch and host a “clone” infringing website identical to Nyaa.si (and, thus, engage in massive infringement of copyrighted motion pictures and television shows)." It was completely bullshit since they forgot to mention that the project provides everything necessary to engage in massive infringement of copyrighted motion pictures and television shows EXCEPT the actual copyrighted motion pictures and television shows. The repo is back up after a reversal: https://github.com/nyaadevs/nyaa/

Please don't, however, baselessly propagate their claims. As far as I can tell it's bullshit. The source code may be for nyaa.si but it just contains normal torrent tracker code.

(I can only assume their lawyers have no idea what 'sukebei' means.) Anyway, nothing interesting in this file either. > https://github.com/nyaadevs/nyaa/blob/master/nyaa/api_handle... Again, looks ENTIRELY generic. > https://g
