No, it isn't. That is from months ago that someone reposted recently.

If it was actually prompted by something, it would probably be the recent Inspeqtor[1] takedown[2][3][4] by Monit.

Just a note concerning this. Popcorn allows users to easily find and watch torrents, which could be illegal copies. Why does the software that enables that fall under a DMCA request? Shouldn't any web browser or search engine also fall under the same rules because they allow me to browse and watch mp4 movies?
