I am the developer of a project with a small community known as Offflix. Now I recently discovered that Yts has an api, and it is too irresistible for me to integrate it into my project as a simple in app click to download any movie.
So, would doing that and making the code open source be illegal? I am not a US citizen and I am not technically ripping movies, I am just packaging yts’s functionality inside my app. Would github flag and destroy me repo if I do this?
Codeberg wouldn’t mind according to that principle right? I cant fathom how a plug in would work when essentially adding yts would mean bundling a Downloader with a torrent engine and any system that allows downloading movies/series via torrent would get dmca.
