That was fast. Popcorn Time, the streaming site that made headlines this week for being the pirated version of Netflix, is no longer accessible.

The site currently displays a message that says its "Download links are down for a bit." Popcorn Time promised to "be right back" and warned users not to download any unofficial Popcorn Time software, "as we have the only official ones."

According to the site, the link for its downloads was removed by its provider, Mega. "We're going to look for another provider, please hold on!" the company tweeted.

Ironically, Mega is the brainchild of Kim Dotcom, who is embroiled in a copyright battle of his own following the demise of Megaupload. Earlier today, Dotcom tweeted a link to a news story about Popcorn Time and a mention for the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), along with a smiley face.

He followed that up, however, with several tweets about Mega's compliance with the law. "Mega, just like #Megaupload before, complies with takedown notices & has always complied. That's the law & safe harbor requirement for ISPs," he wrote.

"#Mega does not proactively police the Internet. That's not Mega's job. Mega doesn't know what files it is hosting. ALL files are ENCRYPTED!" he continued. "Soon #Mega will provide encrypted communication services (chat, voice & video) integrated with encrypted high-speed file sharing & streaming."

It's not clear who requested the Popcorn Time takedown. The MPAA did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Still in beta, Popcorn Time runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. But as the website warns, "downloading copyrighted material may be illegal in your country." When active, the service temporarily downloads content to your PC, so you might find yourself violating your ISP's terms of service - and in receipt of a warning letter - depending on where you live. "We're using torrents, so if you really care, you'd better Google what the legal situation around these protocol is where you live," Popcorn Time said on its website.

Popcorn Time doesn't actually host anything criminal, but as PCMag's sister site, Geek.com, pointed out, that didn't work out too well for The Pirate Bay. And it appears Popcorn Time is now having the same problem.
