popcorn.net - Digital Enterprises, Inc.

A nationwide class action lawsuit has been filed against the company responsible for popcorn.net. Under popcorn.net's Terms of Service, users who download a free 3-day trial of the software and fail to cancel their trial during the 3-day period are obligated to purchase a license for the software. Trial users who refuse to pay up are bombarded with popups demanding payment that temporarily disable their computers. Some class members claim they never signed up for a free trial of popcorn.net at all and the popups cannot be removed or blocked by Microsoft's Windows Add/Remove Programs. The class action lawsuit claims popcorn.net rendered people's computers temporarily useless and cost people time and/or money to remove it. The lawsuit alleges violations of various consumer protection laws and seeks compensation for the individual users.
