But what if the forks didn't have the same code, and therefore didn't infringe? Lets say for example I just loved popcorn time's app so I forked it, but then I made my app only get video from free, non pirated sources or something. It would be a fork of popcorn time still, but not infringing.

(PS) I don't think popcorn time should have been taken down as it wasn't stealing some copyrighted code.
