Goodbye Popcorn Time

That&#x27;s old? The project has moved on to different teams since then, and I&#x27;ve already seen even better apps than Popcorn Time (that are not forks) that do similar stuff.<p>Also, they <i>were</i> right. It is just a tool and it is <i>legal</i> - at least in Spain [1], but they weren&#x27;t from US to begin with, and my guess is a similar ruling would be made in US anyway. Too bad the original team was pressured into quitting, but it&#x27;s irrelevant at this point.<p>[1] <a href="http://torrentfreak.com/records-labels-lose-big-as-court-declares-file-sharing-tools-legal-140410/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;torrentfreak.com&#x2F;records-labels-lose-big-as-court-dec...</a>
