Got it. Not trying to knock the hard work put into this, I'm actually thrilled to see this initiative and only intend to be constructive. Personally, I would rather be asked to trust that site admins were auditing each torrent to ensure it at least looks legitimate, before passing final legal responsibility on to me as a seeder. Leaving users to identify contributors they can trust to never include "Pirated Movie 2018" into their donated seedbox sounds like quite a hurdle to attracting new seeders willing to participate in a "legitimate bittorrent use case" project.

We perform our own audits of all data and request a justification why it is academic data if it appears to be "Movie 2018". We think the collections model is the best balance between a walled garden and zero censorship. You can be assured that no collections curated by me will have a bad torrent in it! Here are a few:
