net3design Posted April 3, 2014 Report Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) The saga continues. Popcorn Time, the so-called Netflix for pirated content, has vanished from its splashy website and GitHub home. The latest popular fork of open source project is gone, but the program is far from dead.Nothing ever totally disappears from the Internet. Popcorn Time is not an exception. The program can still be found on various websites and torrent aggregators. The latest build, version 2.8, still works without an issue.Popcorn Time broke into the scene early last month. Its utter simplicity makes a mockery of Hollywood’s current distribution model. Click a button and the latest blockbuster plays. Its magic puts its users in a legal gray area since the program streams, and temporarily stores, copyrighted material on the viewer’s computer.At this point it’s unclear why Popcorn Time was removed from GitHub. Several forks of the original still exist on GitHub. It’s possible that the new curators felt the heat that made the original developers step back. Or, perhaps, the latest developers see a commercial opportunity to make the program legit and are willing to square off with Hollywood on the open market.Popcorn TimeSource : TechCrunch Edited April 3, 2014 by net3design words Quote
nikel1992 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Posted April 17, 2014 Eu sunt in Belgia si este o mare problema aici cu torrentele. Pot utiliza acest program? Ma gandesc ca daca foloseste torente este ilegal. Quote
