MPAA pulls "Popcorn time" repositories off github

GitHub has just removed the repositories of several popular Popcorn Time applications. The action was taken in response to a takedown request sent by the MPAA. Whether this will do anything to stop people from using the "Netflix for pirates" has yet to be seen.
 
popcorncensorThe Popcorn Time phenomenon is one of the biggest piracy stories of the year thus far.
 
The software became an instant hit by offering BitTorrent-powered streaming in an easy to use Netflix-style interface. Needless to say this has been a thorn in the side for Hollywood.
 
Today the MPAA decided to deploy countermeasures by filing requests with development platform GitHub to take down several Popcorn Time related repositories.
 
“We are writing to notify you of, and request your assistance in addressing the extensive copyright infringement of motion pictures and television shows that is occurring by virtue of the operation and further development of the GitHub projects Popcorn Time, and Time4Popcorn,†the MPAA writes in its takedown notice.
 
GitHub swiftly complied and starting a few hours ago the repositories were absent from the website, leaving the following note.
 
In its takedown notice the MPAA specifically targets the “popcorn-official†and the “time4popcorn†projects, but it also urges GitHub to remove all related forks.
 
“By this notification, we are asking for your immediate assistance in stopping your users’ unauthorized activity. Specifically, we request that you remove or disable access to the infringing Projects’ repositories and all related forks,†MPAA writes.
 
Interestingly, the MPAA doesn’t mention the original Popcorn Time repository, which remains intact.
 
To prove the infringing nature of Popcorn Time the takedown notice was accompanied by several screenshots of the user interface, as well as several pirated copies of Hollywood movies playing.
 
While the takedown notices may hinder the development of the software, at least temporarily, the websites of the forks remain online. This means that the applications themselves are still available for download.
 
Earlier this week the team behind the Time4Popcorn fork informed us that they have gathered millions of users over the past several months, and that the application is being downloaded tens of thousands of times per day.
 
Whether the MPAA also has plans to target the Popcorn Time fork websites remains to be seen.
