The screenshots of the applications clearly showed copyrighted works being pirated. Just because free works are available doesn't mean that's its primary purpose.

I could take a screenshot of VLC clearly showing me watching a pirated movie. What's your point?

It's wrong to steal.

Seriously, listen to yourself.

Here is a little fact; you are not that clever and the rest of the world is not that stupid. Save your strawman arguments. If movies are released by content creators for free they will release them via channels you can access.

if you can't access them; tough. No one said you had a right to content.

Or, they could release them via BT, and then people using this service can watch them ala Netflix. This is, currently, a channel we can access--indeed, one perhaps preferable to one of the "official" mechanisms.

Then again, who would help the poor, embattled movie publishing houses? I hear they're barely getting by these days.
