Court rulings in Canada and New Zealand bring down Popcorn Time and fellow pirate site YTS.
Several major torrent sites, including Popcorn Time, were closed down today thanks to court orders in Canada and New Zealand. The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), a lobbying organization and trade group representing the film industry, filed to shut down PopcornTime.io, which provides content for the popular Popcorn Time app, and another site called YTS (which launched in 2010 and became inaccessible in mid-October).
