Hello,
I have developed a python program (tool) that fetches torrents from thepiratebay proxy sites and displays results in console/terminal window.

Here: github.com/kryptxy/torrench

Now, since thepiratebay contains illegal content, I am restricted from packaging this tool for other distros (Eg. AUR).

As of now, the website (https://proxybay.one/) (which consists of tpb proxy site list) is hard-coded in find_url.py file.
Now to bypass any legalities, I am thinking of providing a configuration file, that consists of the website's url, along with an enabling switch.
The configuration file will NOT be hosted on github (means it will not be provided with package). Instead, the user will have to download the config file.
If config file is configured, tool will work. Else it would prompt to configure the file.

Would it get me around legal issues, that is making this tool completely legal?

I could really use sone advice here.

Thank you.
