Lawyers will handle the rest. We're not interested in piracy, just very very good UI/UX. Stay tuned.
[1] We use Gaug.es and Piwik with IP fuzzing. They provide enough high-level metrics so that we can improve the interface while letting you guys off the hook.
With the absence of a "not" there, it's not quite clear whether you're telling the truth or not, but a http request to "track.gif" could be construed as, you know, tracking us.

Sure you are. You're directly helping people perform it. I'm not saying what you're doing should be illegal, but let's be honest here. You are "interested" in piracy. One could argue you're even involved in it.

To be, again, completely honest with you, no. If you could have that much exposure showing photos of shoes, we'd do it instead.
I see it as... a start-up without the worry to make profit. We use analytics only to improve the product. We use this as a product building exercise, that's all.
We don't upload movies, we don't run a tracker, we don't belong to any release groups: that's how not interested in piracy we are.

A better analogy might be a website that helps others circumvent the Great Firewall of China. It is illegal in one particular country, but circumvention does not harm individuals (only the society, one could argue). "We don't circumvent the wall, we don't run a proxy, we don't belong to tor: that's how not interested in circumventing the wall we are."
Methamphetamine is helpful for hyperactivity, obesity, and narcolepsy.
I am having trouble constructing parameters in which your statement is true, but does not apply to nearly everything. For example, Tylenol (APAP) is clearly harmful to a user's liver.
Last time I looked there were still a few countries that weren't signatories to international copyright laws, PNG I think was one? Maybe Nauru, Tuvalu, Vatican City?
http://www.wipo.int/treaties/en/summary.jsp gives details of those places that aren't party to _international_ IP treaties. Note Vatican City is in that list as "Holy See" and is a signatory to a few IP treaties.
Your analogy has no legs.
The rest of the world is way too much trouble to serve legally so far (it's not even consistent across providers, it's content-dependant..)

Fair point, reworded the above to be more precise.
Point taken.
Hopefully the minimalist side of movies.io attracts a different kind of people.
Also, the whole watchlist+sharing aspect is missing in tb.
What are the technologies involved ?
Re: foreign languages, they store very tidy information about all the available titles (basically a mapping from ISO 3166-1 to the title), cf. http://help.themoviedb.org/kb/api/movie-alternative-titles
Thanks for the feedback!
Make watchlists! Share them with your friends. Nobody's telling you to download films you don't own.
movies.io is just a hobby.
