Sure. But lets be honest, how many sites like that are going to pop up given the current state of the economy and the industry? Not many at all.

Though, many of those sites are also not able to police their content as much as they would like. You join for one month, steal everything they have, leave for six months, come back and steal the rest. With todays industry, that model seems like one that is leaving itself wide open for piracy problems.

Which CMS was this? Excellent idea!
