Hah I predicted this 3 days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7379904 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7379904 Just because your product is legal, but mainly used for illegal purposes really opens you up to a lot of issues. They should have expected this was coming.

  would it? it's probably exactly what you'd expect. :)

    Well, I watched 300 on it, and I owned a copy of 300 it just so happens to be HD-DVD...and at home.

      Did your HD-DVD copy came with signed rights to distribute the movie to third parties? If not, then you were illegally distributing the film while you were watching it using PopcornTime.

      owning it in DVD doesn't mean you can download it through torrents. I know this is stupid though...
