I've made a cool app that consumes yts api a while ago. Naively I even shared it here. After learning that someone in England was arrested only for having links to pirated movies I took everything down.

It's a shame how hard they are coming after torrents and copyright content like that. As I kid growing up in Brazil I wouldn't have access to a lot of movies, games and tv shows if weren't for torrents and pirate content. Now a days I can buy these games and pay for a subscription to movies and tv shows, but I learned of them by downloading first.

I wonder how much it hurts a tv show like GOT to have some kid watching it without buying.
