"To allow any computer user to watch movies easily streaming from torrents, without any particular knowledge."

The screen shot shows a bunch of very old looking movies, and categories like film-noir and biography. Is there really a vast resource of torrents for all potential movies with enough seeds to stream them for real-time viewing?

Those old movies are purposely used in the screenshot because they're public domain examples. The actual library is as modern as up to date as the pirate bay would be :-P

Yify is the top movie uploader on tpb so yeah !

I bet it took some effort to put that fake screenshot together :)

I think the idea is that those films are all public-domain.

Right. The actual app supports torrents for movies that have non-free licenses as well.
