![]() ![]() However the worst case scenario here isn't the end of the world. P.s - I want to make it clear that I am against copyright and I find it really annoying to pay 20 euros for a dvd especially when the movie is something as stupid and worthless as, let's say, "the interview" which is the latest shit I spent my time on and regret it.īut I also think that artists must be supported, financially supported, for their effort!! So, if you stream a movie and really like it and reckon it is worth the price (the ridiculosly excessive price dvds cost nowadays) BUY THAT DVD - SUPPORT THE GOOD WORK of the moving pictures maestros!!! Wait a minute or two and then click on the avi.part(or mkv.part or whatever the format is) - it'll get opened with vlc (play as it is) - and here you have it - a flawless stream of any mutimedia file you can find on the net (given the sufficient amount of seeders and download speed). You can open qbittorrent and search for a movie (lets say Europa by Lars von Trier, which you can't find in popcorn) - the search gives you the number of seeds - you choose the max, id est the first one and you start the download. Today I was thinking about this and then I remembered qbittorrent's function to download torrents in sequential order - then immediately an idea popped into my mind and I had a 2+2=4 moment. It would be nice if you could just add a magnet link and stream whatever you want.I for myself really enjoy older movies (seventies mainly) The only downside is that you are limited to the series and movies which are listed in popcorn. Popcorn is free software and it is fracking awesome!! There simply are just so many people doing it.įor obvious reasons I won't encourage anybody to break the law- regardless of my opinion on it-one way or the other. Your probably more likely to get hit by a bus than be targeted for civil copyright infringement. ![]() However that's a worst case scenario as the risk of being targeted by copyright owners is extremely small. The majority of that would be to cover legal fees and the actual settlement would probably be under $1,000 USD-but at worse probably $8,000 USD. Chances are you would call up a lawyer in a civil case and have them negotiate a settlement. Short of that your only talking about a civil matter. ![]() You would really have to work at it to attract the attention of law enforcement (ie you would have to setup / operate a linking site, run a file sharing service, upload torrents relating to copyright content you don't have the right to distribute to a forum and actually that is probably more likely to attract civil attention I think, etc) in other words. BitTorrent is not illegal (anywhere that I'm aware of anyway) and criminal copyright infringement is aimed at operators of commercial businesses profiting off of copyright infringement (in the US and generally speaking). Instead, it relied on a peer-to-peer sharing system and only provided a way for users to access content hosted on other people’s computers.Įditor’s note: This article originally appeared on Engadget.I'm not a lawyer, but your understanding of the technology, risks, and the law is probably misguided. The original version may have closed after authorities got involved, and Hollywood studios even sued individual users who allegedly downloaded and shared copies of movies illegally.ĭevelopers associated with Popcorn Time previously talked about how they’re not responsible for piracy themselves, because the service doesn’t actually host any content. While they didn’t say whether law enforcement action was a factor behind their decision to shut down the app this time around, Popcorn Time has had brushes with the law in the past. Its popularity continued to wane, and it never really recovered after that, at least based on Google Trends.Īccording to Bloomberg, the group behind Popcorn Time announced its closure in an email. While the app enjoyed a ton of searches in the months after its launch in 2015, the graph shows a sharp decline in interest by 2016. On its website, the developers posted a graph of “popcorn time” searches over the past seven years. It remains to be seen whether Popcorn Time is now gone for good, but it looks like the biggest contributor to its most recent demise is the dwindling interest in the app. But since the project was open source, other developers were able pick up where they left off, and it’s been killed and revived a few more times ever since. Its original developers took the service down and abandoned the project merely a few days after it launched in 2014. Popcorn Time, the app that was once popular for making pirating movies as easy as watching Netflix, has shut down.
