this is quite scary warning for regular user and they won't proceed to tmdb.org, no such thing happens on themoviedb.org
btw. why not use this much shorter domain as the default one?

There's really no reason to ever go to tmdb.org though. It's not advertised or pushed in any way
It's only used as our "utility" domain right now, images, some assets, and some API stuff. All of those are setup properly because they're used.
I'll still take a look to redirect the naked domain though. It used to. Not sure what changed.
Why don't we use it? Mainly because the project isn't "TMDb" so to speak, it's The Movie Database. We do own themoviedb.com as well though, and at some point I've thought about moving things over to .com.

it's shame, since tmdb is much easier to type or advertise than themoviedb which is overcomplicated to type

I agree, I think switching the roles between tmdb.org and themoviedb.org domains would be the smarter decision.

This one's not happening guys, way too many potential legal problems.

I concur with TMDB.org being so much easier. But, fair enough, let me guess IMDB.com would likely sue over copyright infringement, or something as stupidly annoying.
However, surely changing to the .com version would surely open the site to full US legality, rather than the current open .org version? This could mean various US-based govt authorities would be able to impose things on the site you may not want, sometime in the future.

.com TLDs are:
see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.com
.org's are gTLDs, and AFAIUI, don't have one country's law governing their usage.
For example, many of those naughty naughty torrent listing sites were taken down by the US, and feature(d) that "This site is now owned by the US blah blah..." banner instead. So they all moved to non-US governed TLDs instead. Sure this site isn't doing anything like they may have been, but it still has a bearing on future legal issues, and under who's authority you want to be under (or not).

All domains are back to redirecting properly:
