But, your app, your marketing on the site(the movie & tv show images of copyright content) and comments here is called contributory infringement. https://ilt.eff.org/index.php/Copyright:_Infringement_Issues https://ilt.eff.org/index.php/Copyright:_Infringement_Issues. So, sorry you are making yourself liable by trying to do a work around what popcorn time was doing, as well your marketing on the site and the comments you leave here and elsewhere on the iNet makes you culpable no matter what country your in. Overall your site looks awesome and I miss popcorn time and happy to see another similar app pop up. No doubt there will be tons more similar apps after yours gets shut down by the copyright dummies; dummies because they need to change their game/business model. Make the social experience of going to a movie theater something that makes that experience piracy proof and let piracy run rampant but they make money from it somehow. Let all of us hackers create amazing innovation around their content and they buy/own the best inventions... not sure, but they need to do something different if they are concerned about piracy. Though Star Wars did just make a half a billion dollars in one weekend and other films did similarly this year too, so they aren't suffering!

  Keep in mind mckie41 is a user, not part of the team :) Also, have you checked out the app from the US/UK/anywhere where Netflix is supported? Using movie/series marketing materials to promote links to Netflix, Hulu and iTunes - I don't think that's infringement in any way. Also, we cannot control what OTHER add-ons appear in the app. If we receive complains we'd be happy to stop them. We're trying to build the next Plex, not the next Popcorn Time. Otherwise good points about the industry, but that's not our war to fight :)

    Hmmm, but Netflix, Hulu and iTunes all have the proper licenses from the copyright cartel. While you awesome people do not and you are promoting watching the copyright cartel's content at no cost. It's not like you are blogging about a movie that you just saw and using their marketing materials for that... no and again you allowing people to watch their content at no cost. Hey, Im all for this ... copyright will soon get fed up with the constant whack a mole and embrace all the hackers/innovators for the better of their bottom lines. They just need to bring on tech/entertainment talent to run their companies ... it will happen one day.
