I would like to know if it is worth asking a lawyer about making a search engine that indexes sites which index mega video links which contain movies that are protected by copyright law is legal.

Specifically:


Do you believe it is ethically justifiable, from your point of view. I.e. if you knew legally it was o.k. would you do it?
Do you know of anyone which asked a lawyer on a similar topic and if so was the lawyer able to give a definitive answer?
Would you ever consider making a website of the kind and consult a lawyer or would you deem it immediately to be a grey and ambiguous area you wish not to be in.


Answers should build on the facts that:


I have already finished coding a large part (still some bugs) I have therefore invested a faire amount of time
Dropping the project is an option I can live with


Thanking you in advance,
