Who is Popcorn Time?

Better question is, who's sponsoring the vpn company behind popcorn time? Is it an mpaa honeypot?

Popcorn-time.io doesn't have the VPN sponsership, that's popcorn-time.se.

Edit: removed "weasely" phrase, and incorrect claim about source code.

Edit2, the VPN doesn't seem to work anyway. Unable to get anything to play when it's connected.

Now you're spreading FUD the same way popcorntime.io has. First of all, popcorn-time.se is not closed source[0], and "many have said is less reputable" is both a weasly phrase, and doesn't really mean anything.

I'm not affiliated with any popcorn time team, I'm just not a fan of throwing around FUD, it's totally unnecessary.

popcorntime.io also comes with a vpn now, from https://vpn.ht/popcorntime, but you have to create an account separately.

AFAIK that's a third-party commercial VPN company that they made an arrangement with. What's weird about the popcorn-time.se VPN is that it's built-in and free.

I believe it is popcorn-time.se that has a built in VPN, not popcorntime.io.
