Good. This isn&#x27;t just a file sharing app... it&#x27;s an app designed explicitly to make piracy convenient. That&#x27;s its only real purpose.<p>This is why people are throwing rocks at Google buses: the idea that computer technology is working to create a world where only programmers can get paid.<p>I used to be on this &quot;information wants to be free&quot; bandwagon, but then I met some actual artists. Lots of things &quot;want&quot; to happen. Nuclear power plants &quot;want&quot; to melt down, dams &quot;want&quot; to break, influenza &quot;wants&quot; to spread, etc. That doesn&#x27;t mean it&#x27;s always in our best interest to allow the default second law of thermodynamics thing to occur. There <i>must</i> be some mechanism in our economy for artists and the people who support them to get paid, otherwise you can kiss anything but the most trite (read: cheap to produce) pop music and plotless explosion-fest movies goodbye. That&#x27;s because that stuff appeals to people who are either too young or too dumb to know how to pirate.<p>If people can&#x27;t get paid to pursue their dreams, they have to shelve their dreams in order to get paid. Then you have one less author, one less musician, one less movie being made.

Their actual URL is <a href="http://getpopcornti.me/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;getpopcornti.me&#x2F;</a>, which still appears to be up and running.

Adding a dead link to a three-word sentence does not qualify it as &quot;news&quot;--not even if the sentence is true, which it isn&#x27;t. I really wish I could downvote newsposts right now.

Pretty sure the URL is <a href="http://getpopcornti.me" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;getpopcornti.me</a> which is functioning just fine
