Just a heads up: Since since uses torrents you're about as likely to get sued (at least in Germany) as if you'd download that way normally.
I don't think I'll use it anytime soon.
(I usually pay for stuff though, or wait until it's cheap.)
Is watching a movie on youtube piracy? Is listening a song on youtube piracy?
The line is really blurry when it comes to cases like this.
If you [url=http://www.jimmyr.com/]tweak the google query[/url] you can get all sorts of results. Is using google illegal?
I use [URL]http://solayo.com[/URL] to listen to music. It gives me good results.
Who is in the wrong here?
It's funny how it's being treated as a new threat even though it's not actually different from the piracy that we already have and has been going on for decades.
But you know, it's not like publishers actually want people to have access to their content. They are having a hard enough time approaching Netflix- and Spotify-like services. Why can't I watch the latest seasons of Archer and Modern Family just because I'm located in a specific country? There are several more seasons that have been made, but nope, not allowed to watch those. It's such a half-assed meeting. "Yes, we want to approach this cool streaming thing... but... it wouldn't make sense to give them access to stuff that came out the last 2-3 years would it? I mean, wouldn't that affect the sales of physical copies?"
The fucking region restrictions on content is ridiculous and nonsensical to the consumer and only makes sense from a money squeezing point of view where they want people to either wait a million years and [I]maybe[/I] get a new season that came out 5 years ago or go out and buy the damn DVD/bluray.
I'm glad someone takes the initiative to send across a message by taking the concept of the services, but making it what the consumers want, not what the publishers want.

Piracy is anything that gives then less money. I'm frankly surprised they didn't burn all the libraries at this point.

Those are completely different, since YouTube is actually hosting content and you don't upload it there when just watching.
Google accepts DMCA takedown requests, so it's not an issue there either.
Downloading things is not exactly legal, but realistically you won't be fined.
Uploading (like when using this program) gets you in trouble quickly.
