What mistifies me is the sheer callousness/arrogance of the popcorn time developers. They must know they are playing with fire in a very public way but there is no need for them to be doing so. If they were just releasing a torrent client with streaming and media managment capabilities (the interesting part of the app) they would be fine but they insist on being as provocative and explicit about their desire to violate copyright as possible. The focus on public torrents is strange as well - in 2015 public torrents are a poisoned well disaster - they can't even compete with direct download sites any more - the product they were supposed to be more secure than.
