The movie (and television) industry hasn't really faced anything that made piracy easier than paying before. This is their Napster moment. One can argue that Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc are easy, but those are different sites/app with different user interfaces. Popcorn Time is one program that has all of their content and more.
Popcorn Time might hurt Netflix a little in the short-term with lost users, but long-term (5+ years) I think it could help. Some of the big players in the movie industry haven't wanted Netflix to become what Apple became for the music industry. If the alternative is piracy (i.e. no money), then their hand may be forced to give Netflix more content on better terms.
