Remember Popcorn Time? When it worked, it was amazing. It has better UX than any regular content provider can provide because you don't even need sign in credentials or to enter a credit card.

There is also no technical barrier to streaming torrented video on the web. Peertube etc demonstrate distributed video effectively.

Popcorn Time is still working and still awesome. I just watched a movie yesterday. I'm a Netflix subscriber, but living in China. Usually Netflix works fine with Astrill VPN, but not since 2 days, so yeah, I'm back on Popcorn Time thanks to their awesome geographic blockage.

Los Movies is essentially the same thing.
