The post gives credit to people who helped organize the Popcorn Time project and practically brought it to life.

So, as the initial developers stated in their Good-bye post, Popcorn Time isn't illegal: Well, the application itself is practically âharmlessâ, but it works in conjunction with the YTS torrent website (it's built on their API), which regularly receives legal threats. If the screenshot above reminds you of something, you are not the only one â Popcorn Time is basically Netflix without the monthly payments. If that doesn't capture your attention, how about this â the app also presents you with categorized lists of movies with all kinds of metainfo (covers, synopsis's, you name it), and whenever a download is started, Popcorn Time can stream the video almost instantly! Here's how it looks: Most likely you've heard of Popcorn Time at this point, or perhaps have given it a go, but to catch up the unfamiliar â it is an app released for Windows, Mac, and Linux that gives you free and unlimited access to mostly pirated media content through torrents (which may be prohibited in your country!), and reduces the necessity to deal with those habitually clumsy torrent interfaces.
