My memory might serve me wrong, but I recall very interesting article years ago about playing monetary-gain games in Japan. Hazard where you win money is banned, so as a loophole what they did instead is that you were still playing but instead of wining cash, you were winning tiny white plastic balls (with serial numbers). Those balls were technically worthless and just made of cheap plastic. But once you won some, on the other side of the street where you played, was unrelated business owner, who all business was buying sad white plastic balls for hard cash from you.

No law is broken here. You can run a casino as long as people don't win money or anything worth a lot. You can run a store where you buy out white plastic balls at a premium value. And life goes on :)

I think Japanese government had hardship proving that one business is somewhat owned or operated by another and eventually AFAIK they gave up, giving birth to Japanese biggest mafia.

So.. long story short... run a torrent site where all you have is a database of copyrighted content (only names such as IMDB) and provide half of a magnet link :) Quietly find someone on the other side of the world who will host website that does the same thing just provide second part of magnet link. Don't know each other, don't talk with each other; wait until third person builds an app to glue both link and viola! Long live ExtraTorrent/PirateBay/Whatever about to die next.
