What an eclectic collection of projects.


Looking at common keywords among the URL's, it appears as though they are merely taking a movie database, googling titles, and submitting complaints for anything containing said title/keyword in the URL (e.g. Pushover, Knockout, Wicked, etc.).

Shady, manipulative, and particularly troubling when the DMCA protocol is "shoot-first" and there is absolutely no oversight or review.

Some kind of punitive penalty for false complaints and a few precedents are needed to put these copyright trolls in their place...
