Original Popcorn Time team backs official variant Even though the original Popcorn Time team shut down a year ago, most of the founding members have now come out to support one of the variants of the software.
The original site previously had a "goodbye" message, but now links to popcorntime.io.

Now infamous for being "the Netflix of piracy," Popcorn Time has millions of users streaming thousands of unauthorized films and TV shows through software that has a Netflix-esque interface and is powered by BitTorrent.

Popcorntime.io has always been the most popular of the "forks," but now the open-source software can be considered the "official" Popcorn Time client.

Too bad this program just brutally hitches onto the torrent network and downloads everything as typical brrip, typically what you'd find on TPB. If you block this shitty program then it'll stop working and downloads will cease, if you leave it open then your completely subject to a barrage of attacks from your ISP, MPAA, RIAA, BPI, etc.

What F'ing idiot would knowingly allow this unless you're living in a third world country that most could care less about???
