&gt; &quot;Somebody told me that popcorn time is the Netflix killer and I think that isn&#x27;t true. I think it&#x27;s not a piracy problem, it&#x27;s a service problem. You have to give the users what they want in a fair price.&quot;<p>This is a pretty common sentiment on HN and other places on the internet that&#x27;s used to justify piracy but I don&#x27;t think it really applies to most people who say it. The person in the video is from Buenos Aires and really can&#x27;t get his hands on movies and TV shows short of going to the United States.<p>But if you&#x27;re in the United States and want a TV show, between iTunes, Amazon instant, YouTube rentals, Google Play, Microsoft Store and your cable provider the movie is probably a $2-$3 HD rental. $5-$6 if its just released. If you have time to browse HN you&#x27;re not poor enough to justify pirating over a $6 rental.<p>Of course the counterargument is &quot;but the DRM formats don&#x27;t work on my TV&#x2F;car&#x2F;fridge&quot;, but that doesn&#x27;t work here because Popcorn Time is designed for desktop viewing and deletes the videos on reboot, not for transferring to other devices. And &quot;the only movies with high pirate rates aren&#x27;t easily available&quot; doesn&#x27;t work either because the most pirated shows are the ones most easily available. Game of Thrones is on HBO Go, Walking Dead is on amc.com, Kingsman: The Secret Service and Seventh Son is on every rental service listed above.
