That may very well be the most misinformed, ignorant bullshit I have ever read on this site.

I think he's being facetious and poking fun at boon.

I seriously doubt anybody "ratted out" fanedit.org. They received a cease and desist notice a long time ago regarding a certain fan edit just like we did, so somebody has been keeping tabs on them. It's not like the lawyers delete your file once you comply.

If a site plans on hosting files--even just torrents--they need to have the technical and financial resources of The Pirate Bay (profit estimated at $75,000 USD monthly according to Wikipedia) in order to deal with the legal fallout. And it hardly matters if you host outside the US; The Pirate Bay was raided and had all their hardware confiscated by the Swedish police because of a complaint filed by the MPAA.

Whatever your position on the legality of fan edits, the fact remains that smaller sites like ot.com and fanedit.org are not equipped to battle the MPAA in court. Providing files is a bad idea unless you want your door kicked in and your servers taken.
