The absolutely lovely irony here is that Popcorn Time is doing for distribution of pirated movies exactly what the movie industry needs to do for itself. Now that the concept is out there I doubt it will ever go away completely - whatever iteration may come. Even though the original version of the app has been killed off, the project has already been forked and replicated by a new group. Popcorn Time is incredibly illegal almost anywhere, but it’s also almost impossible to stop people from using it without ISP intervention. Essentially, it aggregated torrent links and packaged them with artwork and a nice interface that allows one-click streaming of movies. So the big fun story of last week was this streaming movie app called Popcorn Time.
