Piracy App 'Kimi' Briefly Tops Charts Before Apple Removal Over Copyright Theft
• App called Kimi outranked Netflix and Prime Video on App Store by providing access to pirated movies
• Kimi disguised itself as an eye test app but actually contained bootlegged shows and movies
• Quality of pirated content varied, some pixelated and some with ads blocking view
• App worked similarly to now-defunct Popcorn Time, making piracy easy like streaming services
• Apple pulled Kimi likely due to piracy access, as it aims to moderate App Store for privacy, safety and legitimacy
