Over its initial run, Popcorn Time was shut down multiple times by a court order, IP blocks and police raids. It was initially incredibly popular due to its ease of use and breadth of content, leading it to be heavily targeted by the movie industry.
It initially emerged in 2014 as an app on PC, Mac, Android and iOS – the latter through a loophole that allowed users to install apps not available on the Apple App Store. The platform effectively acts as a user-friendly portal to illegal torrents of films and series, presenting them in a streamlined fashion that even allows users to select the quality of the stream up to 4K. Popcorn Time – the platform dubbed ‘Netflix for piracy’ – has made a comeback after a years-long absence.
