yes, ideally used with a VPN. there is a similar plugin to Kodi (XMBC) I may have watched a few films already, also possible direct from the streaming sites.

Pretty illegal in Germany, of course. :) I think they are even trying to sue some people here. I never touched it.

Interesting, not here. (I removed Popcorn again because it was too slow in Old China, but can't remember it needed msfonts - you could try with the PPA in sources.list: deb

)

Yikes, don't use in USA either, I got a cease & desist email this morning!
I guess I will stick with binge watching OitNB on netflix. :(
ms fonts is an undocumented dependency I read about on the AUR page.
