    If it’s on Netflix, I’ve found that it’s also a pretty popular torrent. For better or worse since some of those shows are no joke terrible and really shouldn’t be watched.

    That said, I’m surprised no one has tried making a “dark web Netflix” onion service that just streams mainstream movies and shows for free. I mean, Tor is slow, but YouTube works on it with relatively little issue other than Google blacklisting a bunch of IP addresses. I guess it could get expensive.

      Really torrents already solve the problem tech-wise, what’s needed is just a clean UI for tv and films specifically, which popcorn time mostly fills.

        Unfortunately that doesn’t work for Germany, you’ll get sued immediately. Isn’t torrenting copyrighted content unviable in many countries?

          Its illegal in my country too, but vpns cost less than $5 dollars a month. Small price to pay for privacy and all the movies and music you could ever need.
