There's an application called Popcorn Time which allows you to stream movies and shows in a Netflix-Like manner. It uses torrents to stream videos. It is fantastic, IMO everybody should download it!

Your post sounda bit like an advert. Nevertheless it's a great application assuming it's legal in your country. Too bad it isn't in The Netherlands (yes, softdrugs are legal but streaming movies this way isn't).

LOL. Sorry, I didn't mean it to sound this way.
Yes, I agree it is amazing!
I watch ALL my shows on it. It's better than Netflix!

Haha, no problem :)
The fact that Hollywood hates it enough to make an effort to ban it internationally speaks volumes. This is going to be a bigger success than Napster!

I think it's a bad idea to urge everyone to download this. Everyone should think of the possible legal consequences before doing it.

"

The legality of Popcorn Time matched that of all other Bittorrent clients plus the additional issues that applies to sites like the Piratebay and YTS itself, due to the explicit linking to movie content; its website claimed that the software was possibly illegal depending on local laws.[10]

As with other Bittorrent clients, the IP addresses of users can easily be determined by third parties. In early 2015 many German Popcorn Time users received demands for damages of 815 Euros. The high amount was justified by the fact that the application not only downloads but also distributes movies,[11] a fact that not all users were aware of.[12]"

I highly doubt and en user is going to have any legal consequences whatsoever.

Probably not, but I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending it as long as there are legal uncertainties.

There have been legal consequences. Just a few people were targeted to 'set an example'. That's why I'm not using it.

I'll stick to breaking the law exclusively in Torn ;)

Technically its a shady area, its mainly when you download off the app is when it becomes illegal, now I am not say popcorn time is fully legal itself, I use it, it is nice. But is a shady area.

Don't do that. Use a seedbox https://www.seedr.cc/?r=1640625 They do not track your IP address, and allow for remote anonymous downloading of torrents

Don't use Popcorn for that. Use a better seedbox https://www.seedr.cc/?r=1640625 They do not track your IP address, and allow for remote anonymous downloading of torrents
