敵は海賊・海賊版　DEHUMANIZE

A service that offers a Netflix-like interface for accessing pirated films has resurfaced after being closed over the weekend.

Popcorn Time allows free access to movies by streaming content shared illegally as BitTorrent files.

Its makers said they were closing the "experimental" service, but other developers have begun working on it.

One analyst described the software as a "nightmare scenario" for the movie industry.

The software, which launched last week, has been made open-source and posted on a popular code-sharing website.

This means that anyone is now free to use, adapt and, crucially, host the software - making it more difficult to close down.

It also means that while the original Popcorn Time makers decided to "close" the service at the end of last week, it has now essentially taken on a life of its own. It has been translated into 32 different languages.
'Decentralised model'

Popcorn Time lists thousands of movies that can be viewed instantly.

It is powered by BitTorrent files - a typical way of downloading movies - but with an interface that makes it far easier for non-technically-minded people to navigate.

Mark Mulligan, an analyst and co-founder of Midia Consulting, said this should give content creators great cause of concern.

"The next stage of piracy, and one rights holders need to be really worried about, is when the pirates start behaving like the rest of the internet and start making great user experiences."・・・
