Popcorntime is the smartest there is for media consumption, but not exactly an example you want to cite here. Its a software that operates in an illegal area.

  Poporntime is not illegal strictly speaking, it's a software that allow to display movies as you download them via torrents. What is illegal is the source of the torrents not there mere interface provider (which also allow you to see legal)

    Thats just silly, we all know what it is used for and why it is used for and why it was built. Popcorn time has an in built search by default that looks for pirated movies. I dont have to add any indexers. Popcorn time never had a any streaming deals, so all the movies in its screenshots from github are streamed via illegal torrents, which itself is illegal.

      to be clear: Yes popcorntime is illegal because it includes by default links to illegal providers. however popcorntime could trivially become legal by removing those links and letting the user provide them instead.

        So its not exactly legal in its current state right, that’s my point.
