It looks like Popcorn Time is back on the web but in a brand new home. According to Yibada, the movie online streaming app is back online with the address now at popcorntime.ml, which is a community edition of the downed streaming app.
A new batch of designers and developers are now running the site but it looks like they need more, as they are still on the lookout for people with the fitting talent who can help them bring back Popcorn Time back to life.
The resurrected software is completely operational and it promises to offer the same features integrated in the original one that the Motion Picture Association of America and several other label holders successfully managed to shut down not too long ago.
The website contains instructions on how to revive the original ".io" fork but also provides means for users to download the new and enhanced version of what is now being called the Popcorn Time Community Edition (PTCE).
"Now we have taken it a step further and created a website where people can find more information about the Community edition project and links to the working installers or other relevant information," the teams behind the Popcorn Time Community Edition told Torrent Freak.
"In the beginning it was just so people still could use the version from Popcorntime.io and continue to enjoy this great software. But as long as people use it and we have people to drive this project forwards it will probably continue to evolve in future as well," they added.
This suggests that although the original Popcorn Time was effectively eliminated, this new version will remain standing even after rights-holding entities attempt to have it taken down as well. This is owing to the fact that adamant patrons will continue using it.
On the other hand, the popular music file-sharing service called Aurous was also recently plucked out online after Recording Industry Association of America filed a lawsuit that ended after its developers agreed to a $3 million settlement.
