Over the past week, streaming service for movies P Time it slowly began to decompose.
The growing pressure from legal and ethical issues has led to the departure of the core segment of the development team.
So like we mentioned yesterday the creators in their effort to change the identity of the brand name Popcorn Time, and give it a more legitimate one, developed the "piracy-free” Butter.
But let's look at the last moments of Popcorn Time.
The Popcorn Time website that runs under the domain popcorntime.io, has gone down in history. According to TorrentFreak, Popcorn Time developer Wally said:
"I shut down all the servers, and there is nothing I can do anymore. I deleted some logs that could be harmful to any developer. ”
The decision to close the popular website came when the domain suffered extensive DNS attacks and falsifications that made it very difficult for the developers who remained in the team to successfully transfer it.
While popcorntime.io is offline, the saved version of the web page includes the following note:
"After the announcement of our little brother Butter, we have some bad news to share. In the last few days someone has moderated our infrastructure, especially our DNS service and we can not convince our provider https://gandi.net that we are and that we want to stay online. (They can not transfer the domain name to their ownership in a few words) We do our best to maintain the service, but today we can not give a timetable for things to go better. Please wait, we work day and night to resolve the issue. "
Of course there are still the clones of the service, but that does not mean that it is the same service.
Of course, as we mentioned yesterday, there are other problems: the popular YTS site that fed Popcorn Time (formerly known as YIFY) continues to operate with interruptions.
Until today the domain https://yts.to not working.
Meanwhile, the new Butter service is only available on GitHub, and maybe sometime we see it online when the dust is settled.
In any case, it's safe to say that Popcorn Time is definitely offline, and that it was fun as it lasted.
