They aren't actually hosting the addons themselves any more, so people can't go after them for copyright violation at this point. What they are doing now is linking to the downloads on us and Curse. They were hot-linking to our files (using our bandwidth and server without sending the users to the actual pages here), but dolby was able to put in something to prevent that (at least for now). With that being the situation, there isn't really a problem any more. They've just become a site that provides a list of addons, that sends the user to the proper sites to get the actual download. And from all the research we've done into it (them), they are getting so little traffic as to be basically inconsequential.
