That was my first thought. But on second thought, I wouldn't be surprised if big companies, like Netflix, don't have a problem with taxes. The billion dollar tech companies have the wherewithal to implement different tax regiments to each of their customers. It's the startups that this move will hurt and thus add entry barriers protecting the market share of the big boys. |

I wonder - what if you took the code for Popcorn Time, made your own front-end and used the majority of your funds to sign deals with production companies? If it's P2P you could be based in Iceland for all it matters. You could avoid goods and services taxes everywhere because P2P is ephemeral and you'd avoid lawsuits from the rights holders for being a legitimate front-end for their content.
Your attack surface would mainly be P2P blocking in countries that don't like the cut of your jib or throttling from ISPs.
