Re: [Trisquel-users] Is Popcorn Time Legal?
Meh, who cares if popcorn time is legal or not? Copyright is abused to death anyhow and quite frankly is being taken to the umph extreme. Calling it piracy is just dumb. Since when has sharing a copy of any software caused a ship to sink? Since when does it cause lots of people to die? Or be robbed of everything they had... So yeah, anyone who uses the phrase piracy to describe sharing and forces the law to have to arrest people doing that, deserves to go bankrupt and also deserves no rights to their creation.

No popcorn time isn't legal if you are downloading or streaming copyrighted material like movies or tv shows. How ever the likely hood of actually getting caught is small.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is Popcorn Time Legal?
>Popcorn Time is not a website, it is a heavy client mainly bundling a BitTorrent client and a video player. It is the bloated version of peerflix, nothing more than a super heavy GUI added to it. And it needs no GUI at all, it could not be more straightforward. Highly recommended software btw -> https://github.com/mafintosh/peerflix o/ * consider whether obeying an amoral law makes you moral or amoral.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is Popcorn Time Legal?
Like most things, the real answer is "it depends." Popcorn Time itself is a BitTorrent client. BitTorrent in and of itself cannot be illegal any more than a photocopier could be. It's what people *do* with it that determines whether their *actions* are. There are entirely legal torrents. One example is http://www.publicdomaintorrents.info/ If someone were to use something like Popcorn Time to obtain a video from there I would be hard-pressed to say which law(s) were broken. That people might also use it to transfer copies of other things without authorization should not change this but sadly some seem to blur the distinction between the tool and the actions.

Buying a DVD and playing it on your own Trisquel laptop is illegal.
[Trisquel-users] Is Popcorn Time Legal?
Hello dear friends, Excuse me if this is not a good place to ask my question, but I thought I could answer my question here. I need a website to watch movies, there are many options available like Netflix and Hulu, but these sites uses DRM technology! I find ((popcorn time)) website and it's great, but my friends told me that using this site is illegal, because it violates copyright law! Popcorn time is a free software (with GPL v3 license) and source code available in here: https://github.com/popcorn-official please guide me... I have no idea. Is popcorn time legal or illegal? should I use it or not?! Thanks a lot...
