The fact that it is also completely free of charge and, quite often, has movies before Netflix is able to put them out, makes it a very big threat, and Netflix has expressed its concerns about Popcorn Time on more than one occasion in the past.
Popcorn Time is a professional-looking app with a clean, user-friendly interface, and the polished experience makes it feel almost legitimate. The comparisons it has drawn with Netflix are for good reason, and go beyond the core fact that it can stream movies. Only recently, a UK judge ordered a number a of British ISPs to block access to websites hosting the popular software, suggesting that unlike traditional torrenting, it had no legal benefit and existed purely to flout the copyrights of the studios.īut as we have seen continuously through the rise of peer-to-peer file sharing over the past couple of decades, copyright infringement is rife indeed, and while it's simple enough for movie-traders to get the latest films without paying already, Popcorn Time makes it just that bit easier. The so-called "Netflix for torrents," Popcorn Time seems to be moving along nicely despite a to-be-expected wave of flak and threat of legal issues. The new site lets you pick from the vast selection of movies available through the traditional Popcorn Time apps, although it's probable that the site won't last too long before it fades into the abyss.
Popcorn Time, the popular movie app for iOS, Android, and just about any other platform you could name, has just been launched in browser form.
