I realize this is an open source project, but I would steer far clear of contributing any code to it. This app is no different than Napster. From a civil perspective, its creators will be found liable for contributory infringement. But that's just the beginning. They will also likely soon experience a paramilitary style Kim Dotcom-esque raid on their homes and offices, where they will be arrested and face decades in prison.
I am not sure what the point of releasing this app and making it accessible in the US is. The FBI serves at the pleasure of large US corporations, and on their request will turn these guys into cannon fodder.
Alternatively, it would be an interesting practice if some section of the project got thousands or tens of thousands of commits. I'd be interested to see a case with 100k defendants.
