  How would I go about this? Its run through the pphp website board but cant find any info on contacting them.
  
  The site is basically allowing its members to sell copyrighted dvds and encouraging bootlegging and wondered what can be done to get it closed down.
  
  Any advice?

  
  Don't bother.

  Are they infringing your copyright and directly taking money from your pocket in lost earnings on your officially released material?
  
  If not, it's really not your concern.

  These sites are a dime a dozen and like a hydra, you close one down and another one will resurface
  
  Your efforts would be futile

  Can't you volunteer at your local old peoples home to get your warm fuzzy feeling instead of protecting the rich?

  OP, why don't you go out and buy a physical copy of every DVD you see pirated?

  Far to much time on your hands.
  
  Worry more about world peace or getting the peado websites closed down.

  You think the copyright holders aren't already aware of the site?.

  Find out where the site is located, probably somewhere like Russia, catch a plane and then march up and down outside wearing a big sandwich board telling everyone what fiendish behaviour those pirates are up to
