Torrent

I see some movies uploads & source mentioned as WEB-DL-PLAYNOW.
I understand WEB-DL means Web Download.
What is PLAYNOW? Is it a premium service to download movies? The quality too looks like those re-encoded bluray movies on torrent i.e excellent quality. So it seems PLAYNOW offers legal copy of movies & therefore the quality is excellent, right?

 

It's probably the name of the group that released the torrent

 

Wikipedia description of WEBDL:

As @Overkill said, PLAYNOW is the group who released the torrent.

 

Generally speaking that would be the name of the warez scene release group or individual.
These are often faked.
