Project Free TV was known as one of the most visited streaming indexes in the world, but now you can see just one word on its homepage: “Goodbye”.
It is not a secret that BitTorrent is still the most used P2P method of downloading video content. However, the cheap bandwidth offered users additional options. Online streaming is usually associated with YouTube and has already become one of the most popular ways of viewing video content in one click thanks to a player embedded in a webpage – no clients or knowledge is required. The only problem is that you need to find the content you want to view first, and this is what Project Free TV (PFTV) helped doing. The service indexed popular content from all around the Internet and offered it in an easily navigated interface.
The popularity of the website also attracted the attention of copyright holders, and Hollywood even managed to have the service blocked in the United Kingdom two years ago. Today the site came to a final end: instead of the homepage, it now displays a single word: “Goodbye”.
The site’s users were very disappointed and said they would miss the site’s content discovery features. Most of them enjoyed the website via its web presence, but it was also a massive hit with users of Kodi/XBMC, as PFTV’s library was available from within the software. Now it is not.
Today, PFTV users can find many sites using the Project Free TV name if they google it, but most of those are just clones with reduced functionality. Some of them even serve malicious advertising instead of providing a decent service. Project Free TV’s operator didn’t comment their shutdown.
