I honestly could not find any kind of report system for projects on Google Code, so I'm posting this here hoping that someone with the ability to do something might see it.
The XBMC project provides users with access to illegally ripped TV shows through it's plugin system. Such illegal plugins are endorsed by the XBMC project from what I've discussed with them on IRC and the fact that they are hosting the plugins which provide lists to illegal content themselves on their Google Code subversion repository (which can be found http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-addons/source/browse/trunk#trunk/plugins/video). You'll notice that some of those plugins provide access to legal services, while others provide lists to illegal content, such as specific TV series hosted on Megavideo and other locations (e.g. Mythbusters and Family Guy are both examples of plugins that provide direct access to illegally hosted content). I've talked with the people on their IRC channel and they have no intention of removing the infringing content. However, since this is a clear violation of copyright, I thought it best to attempt to contact Google about the matter and get them to resolve it. Since there is no other way to report illegal content other than sending a DCMA notice (and since I am not the copyright owner of this content, I cannot do that), I have sent this email to the mailing list. Hopefully this infringing content can be removed soon. Regards, James. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hosting at Google Code" group.
