A 30-YEAR-OLD Ukranian website administrator working in Poland has been arrested by police after a request by the US for allegedly running the billion-dollar Kickass Torrents website.
Kickass Torrents also known as "KAT" is frequently named as a piracy site and is often blocked at the behest of media companies and by the hand of internet service providers. Browser companies also have occasional problems with the site.
The battle between the system and Kickass shot up a deal this week when Artem Vaulin was arrested and presented with a playlist of charges from a federal court in Chicago.
The court documents seen by TorrentFreak desired the seizure of the main Kickass page and a number of associated sites.
Agree with this seizure or not, there are no files stored on the site. I tried but could not access Kickass Torrents.
