I can't find the source code. Is it even available?

I think it might be closed source. The site looks identical to Popcorn Time, but it's not clear if this is a fork of the original application or a new one based on it.

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.

Plex[0] is a pretty big media server / player..... Very big coincidence. [0] https://plex.tv/

Well, this product is called IsoPlex. They're different words, one of which is just a common suffix:

I want it for music. Would be perfect for parties as an alternative to spotify, grooveshark etc. Need queuing and support for a bunch of weird open formats and then we're good to go.

Well there was hiphop https://github.com/hiphopapp/hiphop but it seems it is offline for now

Is this legal?

The software per se, yes, it is. But basically any use you can make of it isn't, since the free movies are probably less than 1% of the catalogue.

That is unfortunate that this technology needs to overcome that stigmatism. There is no reason this shouldn't be used for legitimate purposes. This would be incredible for educational purposes.
