This problem can be fixed by either increasing the Adobe Flash local storage space, (also known as “Flash cookies”) or deleting them.
TilmanGriesel··on IsoPlex: Popcorn time alternative maintained by Isohunt
They provide access / listings of copyright protected movies. What is NOT illegal here? Come on! We have a lot of disciplinary warning letters here in Germany because of popcorn-time an a lot of people have to pay a LOT of money because they used it. Be honest to the people, torrent networks are dangerous (in some countries). I am not here for a discussions about the border between legal, illegal and to split hairs about that topic.

The node packages It uses the node module peerflix (https://github.com/mafintosh/peerflix) is the same that popcorn-time makes use of. In this case they are identical. But subtitles and tracker health are missing. It seems that is is not a copy but flavoured by popcorn time.

No
TilmanGriesel··on IsoPlex: Popcorn time alternative maintained by Isohunt
It seems more or less like a popcorn time copy. It uses the node modules peerflix (https://github.com/mafintosh/peerflix), read-torrent (https://github.com/mafintosh/read-torrent) and socket-io (http://socket.io) for example. You can read the source code if you download the mac version and open Contents/Resources/app.nw inside the Isoplex package. But it is a good question why it is not on github.
TilmanGriesel··on HipHop: A "Popcorn Time" for music
Completely right! They have to build a spotify / popcorn clone for open, not for commercial music.

I took a short look into their source code and I discovered that they are using youtube (google video) for playback, the iTunes API to get the top list, LastFM to get the covers. One song is round about 20MB because they play the entire video. Nothing more then a youtube fronted stitched together from 3 API's and inspired by Popcorn Time. I think google will block it as soon as they can.

And after a short try I mentioned that some songs are only bad covers from private people. Well ... yeah

At the beginning we used BBB for our prototypes, but we have developed a completely new infrastructure and client over the last years.

Maybe some "startups" using this technique to harvesting email addresses. But in this case, we need the email to inform about the current progress and select future beta users. We know the problem with this kind of landing pages, but this is a good way to proof the concept, acceptance, get feedback and work together with future customers.

It redirects you depending on your browser language... Maybe a bug! Here is the en version: http://survey.getgrasp.io/en
