Nobody gives 2 $hits about their pixellated, dumbed down drek..I'll stick with Usenet, Newzbin and P2P, thanks.
They're about 10 years too late not to mention every search engine out there is miles better than anything they could conjure up.

He he I wouldn't want to be an admin for that site!!! They'll have their work cut-out for them with regards to the server being down everyday. Patch them holes quickly and hold on for dear life, cause here it comes, full ramming speed. OHHHHHHHH the site is down again.
Ah well back to my fav torrent site.

Omg! Finally! It's only taken you like, what.. several years? Legal MP3 downloads have been around for ages since music (digital) downloading/piracy came about, it's only taken you years to come to the conclusion that the only way to battle piracy is offer legal download services.
..Though I did only say battle piracy. But you'll lost that battle no matter what you try to do.
:D

Variety was reportedly told that the project was initiated after research showed that consumers often have a hard time distinguishing between legal and illegal sources for movies online.
Nice, I actually believe this is semi-accurate. For once, some piracy-related research that makes some sense.

My friend routinely watches movies from one of those sites which stream torrented movies... you know the ones I'm talking about...
And he actually tried to justify it by saying... "I don't download them, I just watch them. There is no movie file on my computer."
I laughed at him and said, "Do you honestly believe that watching "The Dark Knight" through the net is in any way, legal?"
People know... They just don't want to admit it.

agreed.
they are obviously extremely late with this idea,
but i think it's true that many people can't tell which sources are legal.

No, it's just my, err, I mean, our, err, uh, an excuse. An excuse, that's all it is! "Sorry Mr. MPAA mad man, I didn't know the Pirate Bay was a 'bad' place!"
