I do think it makes sense (as, well, majority of people don’t use it to get free videos about how to install Linux), but it’s very very tricky balance, and each time they’re being pushed there should be a lot of discussion and scrutiny.

Compare that to gun rights discussion. Apps like popcorntime are similar to assault weapons - cool tech, but not much legit legal reason for an average joe to own it. And they both make illegal activity much, much easier.

Note - before someone says that I equal downloading movie to killing people. I don’t, but framework of legal thinking is similar.
