This week TechCrunch released an interesting expose on Popcorn Time, the video pirating site that supposedly is making it "as easy to watch pirated content as Napster did to download songs." The creators argue that the Popcorn Time is legal – mainly because the site is free, and users technically never download or "hold" the movies they are watching online. For now, Hollywood lawyers don't have an above ground entity associated with Popcorn Time to attack – and even if they did, it's almost a guarantee that another identical service would replace it almost immediately. Read the full breakdown on the site, and why it is the movie business's worst nightmare here.
