But in my view, this time you soiled your own pages by giving uncritical attention to a semi-criminal service like this. Martin, I do admire you for your nearly always excellent and outstanding gHacks blog. For details about this case, see: Īpps and services like this are like tentacles of the criminal Dark Web stretching into (and soiling) the regular web. Just today, news came out that some individual users of the original Popcorn Time app, facing a lawsuit by the makers of the illegally downloaded movie “The Cobbler”, accepted a settlement of several hundred $$ each. Even if you didn’t download/feed the underlying torrents yourself, by having crooks streaming stolen content to you, still you make yourself into a crook too.

It’s a form of stealing, violating copyrights in many cases, and therefore it’s clearly unethical to use services like this. The question was: “Would you use a service like Browser Popcorn?”
