In many ways, Popcorn Time is thus just like Netflix – except for the fact that Popcorn Time is illegal. The file is only stored temporarily on the user’s computer, and as soon as the player is closed the file disappears. But unlike the regular torrent software, Popcorn Time doesn’t require the user to download the entire file at once Instead the program downloads only a few seconds ahead, so that downloading and playing is done simultaneously. The program provides easy access to content made available through illegal peer-to-peer systems, such as Bittorrent or PirateBay. All over the world, people are streaming newly released movies and the newest episodes of popular TV shows – to the film industry’s great dismay.
Ever since the release of Popcorn Time a few years ago, the amount of users has exploded.
