Popcorn Time gained a lot of fame a few years ago, but was abruptly taken down by its developers on Madue to pressure from the Motion Picture Association of America ( MPAA). The project started as an open-source BitTorrent client with an included media player. Sometimes referred to as the “Netflix for Torrents” or even the “Netflix for Pirates,” Popcorn Time is viewed as a major threat to Netflix, and to Hollywood in general. Many torrents contain pirated content, and so the tool really just makes pirating easier. Popcorn Time essentially automates the whole torrenting process for movies and TV shows. Before we dig into the details, it’s important to understand the history.
