There are many different ways to attack Piracy of Movies and Popcorn Time is becoming another source that is being gone after...

Lisa Vaas of naked security at Sophos wrote and interesting post about the law going after people discussing how to access Popcorn Time and even accessing it to view illegally accessed movies.

According to Lisa in the US movie makers have filed a lawsuit against 11 Popcorn users, alleging they used the software to watch the 2014 Adam Sandler comedy The Cobbler.

This is enough to cause me not to use this kind of service, not just because of the moral issues of stealing, but also, one just doesn't need the hassle.

Be careful of even describing how to access or use the service because people doing this our now being prosecuted as well.
