This package is not and doesn't do any illegal!
Though, if you download (via torrent) something your country deems is illegal you're responsible - and if you download (via torrent) something your country doesn't care of, you will be happy using it.
It really depends on where you live.... I think it depends more on where the AUR is hosted. Lets not forget

When somebody markets their software/script/whatever as a "pirate movie downloader", I think we should probably avoid packaging it.

Assuming IP geolocation is accurate, the AUR is hosted in Germany. This doesn't matter though. The AUR does not host any software that may or may not be used for copyright infringement. The AUR is simply a collection of build scripts. If free-cinema was in [extra] or [community], then this _might_ be worth investigating because Arch---and its mirrors---would be hosting the software in question. However, considering that libdvdcss is provided in [extra] and dvdbackup is provided in [community], I don't think this is anything for us to be concerned with. Jason
