Editorialized title.

I enjoyed the part where they berate the other fork for "ripping off" their UI, which exists solely to facilitate piracy.

There's a missed opportunity here .. movie companies should be forking Popcorn Time, whacking a brand on there, and putting their own version out.

What a pity the world is run by lawyers..

Netflix does this (the service, not the fork), too bad it is still unavailable in many countries.

And its catalog is limited, too, even in the US.

The Doctor Who fan in me is lamenting that this domain isn't actually about a Popcorn Time-War.

It's about volume. Sure the movie companies will be giving away their films for free. But if you give away enough films for free it becomes profitable!!
