Like #PopcornTime but for music instead of films

Yes, I remember the days when all you had to do was pay a low monthly premium for one service (Netflix), and you'd get to watch almost anything imaginable with no ads, and share it among your family.

Now you have to pay a lot of money to watch without ads, can't share it, and gain access to only a fraction of the library that you used to get.

If you want to

you have to pay upwards of 100 USD / month for Netflix, Hulu, Prime, Disney, Paramount, and HBO.

Honestly, I thought it was more fair when I just paid $5 per movie I rented to Apple. Although the rental fees for TV shows were always ridiculous.

I miss #PopcornTime.

@StarkRG @jay @vildis personally I'd rather still compress stuff for speed reasons, as bandwith is the limiting factor, not computational power or storage.

• That being said that too can be done by setting compression factor to 0.

I don't host, seed, download or distribute anything copyrighted, but like with @vxunderground and @VXShare do for #Antivirus I've seen enough groups also do some basic #encryption as to avoid any #ContentID-style matching and thus automated #DMCA takedowns...

• I just think that #RAR is bad by any modern standards and the whole "streaming" aspect can be facilitated both with #BitTorrent clients (see #PopcornTime) and #IPFS (by sequential-only downloads)…
