A desktop app called Popcorn Time launched last week gaining considerable attention for presenting pirated streaming movies in a clean and easy to use format. It was essentially a Netflix for pirated movies.

Now, Torrentfreak reported that a team of developers called YTS resurrected the project and officially relaunched it Sunday.
