    I agree, I am more interested in the technology that is so quick to pop up. I did download it, to see if the movies played at a decent speed. I was surprised at how fast it loaded a movie, and the quality of it. I stopped it, as I really don't want to end up on a list for the MPAA. I do believe though after having kept up with the lawsuits that they enjoy the downloaders, and don't truly want it to stop. It has become another source of income, the artists do not receive anything from the lawsuits, and the studios receive very little. The association/lawyers get the money.

      Ever use Bit Torrent Sync? It's BT, but you are only able to sync files between well-defined systems (as long as the systems have the shared encryption key, that is). I think that merging BTS along with the Popcorn Time concept would be awesome. One can share their libraries with like-minded friends on the internet.

      Popcorn Time is a nice idea. Having the sharing more private would make it the killer app.

        That is not a bad idea. Would work great with private trackers I would think. And the clamoring to get into a private tracker would be high. I know that I would want to join one.

      Exactly, a new and brave world for the "middlemen".
