Why did the Popcorn Time packages disappear?

Just curious. Were they taken down due to legal stuff or just because the website was taken down and the project migrated, or what?

Can't see anything on the mailing list about it, so probably the second point of this:

I know for certain that popcorntime, popcorntime-git and popcorntime-bin have been migrated, but they just disappeared.

The packages were deleted as the service was taken down.

Thanks for the replies. I was aware that PT was taken down, but I thought that the packages would try to workaround that, not just disappear, it looked like a lot of work went into them.

Looks like there are sources at popcorn-time.se/source.html if anyone wants to try making a PKGBUILD.
