    What’s the catch? A free app on the play store that has acceess to all premium Netflix or Amazon content would be banned directly into purgatory.

      The app doesn’t have access to any of that, it can show you where you can legally access it

      But if you run 3rd party plugins then you can access some illegal content

      I don’t really see the point of it vs traditional piracy

        People still want the streaming service experience of scrolling for 30 minutes before giving up and watching something they’ve already seen.

      Using a torrent plugin without a debrid service has the usual torrenting issues. In some countries torrents are monitored by copyright holders, so in NA getting letters from the ISP for copyright infringement is an issue. In Germany torrentio is a great way to receive a few hundres to thousands euro fine.

      By using a debrid service it’s a pretty good experience (if your watching in english, as other languages are often not well represented on public trackers).
