Popcorn Time
The original Popcorn Time software was a multi-platform, free software BitTorrent client that included an integrated media player. The program and its forks of the same name are free alternatives to subscription-based video streaming services (such as Netflix). Popcorn Time used sequential downloading to play copies of films listed by several torrent websites (although other trackers can be added and used manually).〔The protocol does not allow streaming, either in a technical or legal sense; instead, sequential downloading is used〕
Following its inception, Popcorn Time quickly received positive media attention, with some comparing the app to Netflix due to its ease of use. After this increase in popularity, the program was abruptly taken down by its original developers on March 14, 2014 due to pressure from the MPAA.〔(Hollywood Tries to Crush Popcorn Time, Again )〕 Since then, Popcorn Time has been forked by several other development teams to maintain the program and produce new features. The original Popcorn Time team endorsed the ''popcorntime.io'' fork, and picked it as the successor to the official Popcorn Time as of August 2015.〔Torrent Freak, ''(Original Popcorn Time Team Backs Popular Fork )'' By Ernesto on August 12, 2015〕 In October 2015, the MPAA obtained a court injunction from Canada to stop the Canadian programmers of popcorntime.io, which resulted in shutting the site down.〔(MPAA: We Shut Down YTS/YIFY and Popcorn Time ). Retrieved 5 November 2015.〕
==Functionality==
The Popcorn Time interface presented thumbnails and film titles in a manner similar to Netflix. This list of media can be searched and browsed by genres or categories. When a user clicked on one of the titles, the film was downloaded via the BitTorrent protocol.〔 As with other BitTorrent clients, as soon as Popcorn Time started to download a film, it also started to share the downloaded content with other users (in technical terms, it seeded the torrent to others in the BitTorrent swarm).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://arstechnica.com/business/2014/03/netflix-like-torrenting-app-popcorn-time-disappears/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/03/popcorn-time-reinvents-the-seedy-process-of-torrenting/ )〕 It continued to make the downloaded content available to others until the movie is deleted, which was normally done automatically when the application was closed.
