The tool gained vast popularity for the ease with which it allowed users to stream pirated films and TV shows for free. Unlike more complicated or risky services, users were able to easily access what they wanted to watch, with the ease of streaming content on Netflix. Popcorn Time, a streaming service that was both beloved and hated as the “Netflix of piracy”, has been shut down. The open-source nature of the service meant that other developers could pick up the tool and host it themselves, however. They continued to do so in the years following, allowing it to evade law enforcement. Do you think that it is about time we have a new popcorn time?
