popcorntime was taken "banned" due to a DMCA take down requested by the MPAA[1] and not for violating Github rules which are pretty permissive[2].

Ah, what a "fun" repo. I feel somewhat proud to have contributed code to a repo that was part of the first DMCA takedown that Github has in the dmca repo.

I would expect to see a DMCA request from Gamma as well.

This seems like a better application for a DMCA than Popcorntime. This is actual copyrighted stuff taken from Gamma. With Popcorntime it was just a tool that could be used for taking copyrighted stuff.
