TL;DR: if it goes boom.. the world will just move on as usual and we just get back up.. just like the US market.. except China wasn't as hyped up and the media is still control by the government so it won't be as bad as the US.
Sorry, I forgot that people still live in the US.
Everyone is too law abiding.. But really what laws is he breaking here?? Trademark? Copyright?
Spoke to my legal counsel and I don't see either..

So we have several datacentres around the world, and when users input a link. A server will take the task and try to download the content on the web, based on trial & error and user's response it learns how to download from a particular website.
It also currently works for novamov, movshare, filebox, dropbox, google drive, putlocker, videobb, rapidshare, tudou, videoweed, gorrilavid, mediafire, hotfile, and over 300+ sites..
Just input the link into the box, or use the bookmark bar.

They use scalr api so that you can upgrade as you need it.
I think hackernews is overloading the cloud. I can't load the video.

It's a good place to see what-not-to-do.
I blame it all on the Facebook movie, it over hyped startup world. People don't understand that more then half the time, we are knee deep in code or running out of cash.
It's funny how SOPA, ACTA, and Bill-C11 are so coordinated. It's almost like someone in the industry is pulling a lot of strings in the government.
If you are from Waterloo, presumably you went to UWaterloo. Don't they teach you what to say at the border?
