I've been trying to keep Pluto a well kept secret. If too many people start flooding there they will muck up the place with more ads and garbage. Crowds always ruin everything good on the internet, especially anything that's free.

Oh, and good movie btw.

Pluto TV is free and I have never had to give any information to use the site. Perhaps they changed from the way they did things.
