Popcorn Time Finally Comes to iOS
- lutusp 12y agoQuote: "The app is free and there isn’t a monthly fee. Because, you know, piracy." I love these modern, concise expressions -- an absolute minimum of words, but perfectly understandable to the contemporary mind. My favorite is this classic defense of rationalization: "because because." EDIT: one more point: Quote: "As for users, it’s perfectly legal (although arguably unethical) to use the app because neither you nor the app hold the movies — the movies are pulled from the Internet." That's not "perfectly legal," unless sneaking into a movie theater is perfectly legal. Readers, don't be misled by this article -- downloading pirated content frame by frame, to be viewed and then discarded, is no less illegal than downloading the entire movie in one go.
