Not really. Popcorntime doesn't provide copyrighted material, it just helps access and consume it, same as your laptop, TV, Chromecast or cellphone. Besides, the technology behind Popcorn could be used to access open content, therefore, the Berne Convention doesn't explicitly apply here.
- ErikRogneby 11y agoHelpling access and consume it is called secondary liability: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_liability https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_liability I expect the case law around this sort of thing will continue to evolve.
- e12e 11y agoI wonder if it'd be difficult to add an index from vodo.net to Popcorn Time. If they also added a link to the pay/donate API, that might actually give some of the Vodo.net-releases some much needed money (given the market share Popcorn Time apparently has).
