This is amazing. Except idk how long MPAA will let it last. :/

It just catalogs existing youtube public content right? Why would MPAA have a problem, if they have, they would have DMCA'd the original video

looks like its in github https://github.com/sdelarquier/couchtube

megaupload did much of the same, no? And this is very flagrantly assisting copyright violation.

Of course, if they were smart, they'd just use this to find the content to issue DMCA to.

The search for Special Unit 2, for some reason pegged an episode of "The Unit" for Ep1.

A way to tag a show/episode as incorrect would probably be helpful.

I searched for 'the IT Crowd' and it got something that 'the IT Crowd' guy was in and not the actual IT crowd. Looks like a good idea. I am sure I saw something like this for movies but for TV shows is an excellent idea. Keep up the good work.

Yeah, a little while ago there was a Show:HN for movies. It was: http://pegleg.it/

It needs more movies to be added though. Maybe it could automatically search YT for every movie title from IMDB, then verify it with a Mechanical Turk.

I love how he did the about page, it has everything I'd want to know, neatly done!
