Court Orders Popcorn Time Websites To Be Blocked


















Israel's ZIRA, an anti-piracy group that represents media companies, have come up with the tactic of going after any websites that offer Popcorn Time's application. ZIRA applied for and was granted an injunction that orders local ISPs to block Popcorn Time websites on the grounds that the application violates copyright holders' rights.

The court's agreement indicates that the websites are seen as infringing on copyright even without hosting media files. The ISPs' blocks mean no future downloads of Popcorn Time can take place, but apps that have already been downloaded will still work for users.
