The greatest trick the devil has ever pulled...

But if that makes Hollywood sleep better at night, sure - sleep tight, Hollywood! All is well with the world now. No need to bother your pretty heads with Popcorn Time anymore. You can go back to your extortionist business models again.

What annoys me most about the war on Bittorrent is that it comes at such a tremendous cost. There used to be a time when you could find all kinds of _rare_ data in the Bittorrent swarm.

Now, between all the banning, blocking, slowing down and taking down of trackers, a lot of the richness is gone.

Sure, all the holywood crap is still there, but what about the sitedumps of now-offline web plattforms and the like?
