Developing and building such a site is an expensive, time-consuming proposition. If they wanted to build it themselves it would run them thousands of dollars easily - and wouldn't be as good. Why shut it down? Sponsor it, co-opt it, drive traffic to it, feed it and it will feed you...are they deranged, stupid or just petty? This is a great resource, throwing it away only hurts themselves.

Is it possible to add "common-sense provision" to existing copyright law?
