You have a point, to some extent.

The way Popcorn Time is advertised makes it pretty clear:

    >No restrictions. Watch any movie or TV show as many times as you want.
    >Awesome catalogue. If the movie or TV show is out there, Popcorn Time will find the best version possible and start streaming it right away.

It's pretty clearly about piracy. That being said, it can obviously also be used to watch non-pirated movies, and the way things are going with Youtube at the moment (censoring various videos on non-copyright grounds) could actually make PT a great alternative.
