Popcorn Time: clearly illegal. Also a good illustration of how hopeless the fight against piracy is. HT @TPCarney http://techcrunch.com/2014/03/11/popcorn-time-is-like-netflix-for-pirated-content/ …

@sarahjeong I don't see how they can argue with a straight face that they're not deliberately promoting infringement.
@binarybits Same thing could have been said about YouTube around the time of Viacom v. Youtube.

@sarahjeong Really? Were there links to Hollywood movies on YouTube's home page? -
@binarybits Don't recall how the front page was organized. If it was by tailored recommendation like it is now, then it would have for some. -
@sarahjeong Here's what you see when you launch Popcorn Time.pic.twitter.com/q3G5PI3Dmh

@binarybits yeah and if all that is organized by meta data + user statistics --- e.g., blind algorithms? Reminds me of Plex or Roksbox. -
@sarahjeong It looks like Plex requires you to decide which friends to share with. That seems different than making piracy the default. -
@binarybits Oh, I meant that the interface is blindly organized by metadata on the files. So Plex doesn’t have to “know” I’m watching -
@sarahjeong I'm not sure "blindly" is the right word given that PT chose a default torrent feed that's full of infringing content. -
@binarybits What’s the torrent feed? - 2 réponses de plus

@binarybits *likely* different bc Popcorn is *likely* arranging its own front page, but not totally clear to me it makes or breaks itMerci. Twitter en tiendra compte pour améliorer votre fil. SupprimerSupprimer
