I don't think it's just that it can access infringing content. I think it's that it was designed with the sole intent to watch infringing content. When you install and run it, it doesn't appear to have any non-infringing content available. Seems a lot different than saying they could just go after a generic web browser or a media player.


I think they have a lot of public domain films from archive.org. Not sure, though.


If so, it's not clear how to find those. The program start up with screen after screen of pirated movies and tv shows.

But if the PT devs were smart, they'd put it back up as a generic streaming torrent client setup to run public domain videos out of the box.
