It's not just "I want movies without paying" posturing. Culture is reuse and remixing. Half of internet culture these days comes from V, from Tyler Durden, from The Matrix, from the Terminator. Should response GIFs and image macros be illegal?

A CLI version of Popcorn Time, published using the real life identity of the author? Brave move.
They're in the Netherlands so I suppose they're safe(ish?)
