Popcorn Time, the prominent application that permits clients to appreciate pilfered movies is currently back with its most famous fork, Popcorntime.io, which was closed down for four months.
Earlier this week, Popcorn Time team announced their comeback after being closed for four months and hitting a lawsuit from Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA). The announcement posted states "We are officially back."
It is said that due to Popcorn Time's eagerness to make a comeback, the team made sure to let people know what they're future plan is and even posted "After the 'MPAA incident,' we're a little diminished, and we've chosen a new direction."
Just like what the previous Popcorn Time offered, their new service will deliver smooth streaming-video apps, where viewers can play a wide range of pirated movies that are all distributed via Bittorrent; however, the new service will be introduced to the all new popcorntime.sh domain. It is said that the new domain will offer developers a more visible awareness of the legal risks that they are taking.
Popcorn Time's new site may be visible but, according to an announcement, they are not yet fully active as the team would have to fix important bugs at the moment.
On other news, the popular torrent site The Pirate Bay keeps on having awful and great times on its operations, as TPB continues to experience online intermittent presence.
It is said that some users are unable to access the website and are always getting an Error 520 Bad Gateway notification. On the other hand, those users who are able to access the CloudFlare site are also getting an alert that states: "This page (https://thepiratebay.se/) is currently offline. However, because the site uses CloudFlare's Always OnlineTM technology you can continue to surf a snapshot of the site. We will keep checking in the background and, as soon as the site comes back, you will automatically be served the live version."
Even if The Pirate Bay is having a constant intermittent activity on its original six domains, TPB's web administrators are eager in finding ways to stay connected online, even amidst of growing anti-piracy actions. The most recent anti-TPB move was UK's decision to demand all six largest ISP's in the country to block any content that is flagged with copyright infringement.
