movies.io founder here, I definitely said that in that podcast, but changed my mind since.
Going legit is too much trouble. The world of licensing is way too complex and antiquated - and we would've been forced to adopt DRM, which is a step back, in my opinion: http://amos.me/blog/2012/vision/ http://amos.me/blog/2012/vision/
So, in short, movies.io's not going away, and yes we're keeping torrents.
- esonderegger 14y agoFor those interested in a legit variation on this theme, check out http://www.moviepresto.com http://www.moviepresto.com Pretty much every movie out on video is available via one of the online platforms (currently iTunes, Amazon Instant, Netflix, and Redbox), but availability outside the US is still frustrating.
- nddrylliog 14y ago"Frustrating" is an understatement. Also, I still think having a separate website for 'legit outlets' is a waste of time and effort. I'd rather have you help us integrate it with movies.io - but you know that already :)
