In 1999, Qwest had a 30-second commercial that seemed incredibly futuristic at the time, talking about a hotel where "every room has every movie ever made in every language anytime day or night" and it seemed impossibly futuristic.
Not 20 years later, the technology for this is already well-established; the only thing stopping it is that the owners of the films don't want to make them available this way.

- wunderg 9y agoThere is popcorntime.io
- balladeer 9y agoYou'll actually have to go to .sh among the contenders (this is what I would suggest) as .io is not up anymore and besides .me was the original one. It's linked on the official/original github repo[0]. But the official official[1] repo doesn't link anything. Just that original developers are supporting .sh as official and have apparently moved to it. There's also ...ce.ch but that's community edition as the last two chars suggest.
