MPA tried to get the source code for Nyaa.si removed from GitHub because the "Repository hosts and offers for download the Project, which, when downloaded, provides the downloader everything necessary to launch and host a “clone” infringing website identical to Nyaa.si (and, thus, engage in massive infringement of copyrighted motion pictures and television shows)".
It was a completely retarded play on MPA's part and they only managed to get the repo down for days until GitHub restored it even without hearing from the repo owners. So really they only brought about some minor nuisance alongside a bunch of headlines to advertise Nyaa.si for the rest of the world.
