It was bad news for the adult industry when Porn Time, the Popcorn Time clone dedicated to porn torrents, debuted recently. Now it’s made its way to Android.
Our policy on torrent apps is to not directly link to them, but you’ll be able to find the Porn Time Android app easily if you’re reading this.
Porn Time’s creators claim that 450,000 people downloaded the desktop version in one week. The US topped its chart with 14.99 percent of installs, followed closely by filthy French folk at 10.69 percent. My home country, the UK, is down in a respectable 9th position.

The developers claim that the Android version will swiftly be followed by an iOS app, something the main Popcorn Time team managed pretty swiftly.
As I noted in my previous post, the porn industry is already dominated by the giant squid-like MindGeek which owns the majority of the free ‘tube’ sites.
The traffic for my previous post alone indicates there’s significant interest in Porn Time and that’s going to concern a lot of people – from those worried about the influence of porn on our society to those in the industry trying to make a living.
Easy access to free torrents on the desktop, Android and iOS is terrible news for the dwindling band of pornographers hoping you’ll pay.
