Yeah sorry but from where I'm standing the studios are just suffering the consequences of their own ineptitude: as you might know the app is (originally) from Argentina, but what you likely don't know is that over here there is no legal alternative like popcorntime, and what little there is sucks, its overpriced to protect the traditional media system (which is getting pwn by the oldschool DVDR) and full of really old content nobody cares about. Mind that by neglecting those markets the movie industry is losing even more money because people over here would actually pay for a service like popcorntime, but the bizantine system of regional distributors and studios run by people who don't even know how the internet works stands in the way of such a legal app. I know because I was part of a team that once tried to do such thing: the tech part is easy, the legal part is impossible.
