Popcorn Time was built by 20 developers on GitHub to be a version of Netflix that used pirated films for its content and was able to run on Windows, OS X and Linux. The software's installer was initially hosted by Kim Dotcom's Mega file-sharing service but was only available to download for a few days in March before it was taken down. It is believed Dotcom took the file offline after receiving copyright infringement takedown notices from the movie industry. Popcorn Time's creators left the project soon afterwards, but programmers from a popular movie torrent website decided they would revive the project. In addition to them, other teams also began adapting the original code, which had been placed on the open-source code repository website GitHub, into new versions ('forks'). 'The original founders of Popcorn Time have dispersed completely. The original version of Popcorn Time was placed on Kim Dotcom's Mega service, but was taken down soon afterwards Reuters Any attempt on our end to contact them didn't succeed and no one from the community knows where or who they are,' the developers said.
