>The U.S. Government has arrested the alleged owner of KickassTorrents, the world's largest torrent site. The 30-year-old Ukrainian was arrested in Poland today and is charged with criminal copyright infringement and money laundering. In addition, a federal court in Chicago has ordered the seizure of several KAT domain names.

>The 30-year-old Artem Vaulin, from Ukraine, was arrested today in Poland from where the United States has requested his extradition.

>In a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago, the owner is charged with conspiracy to commit criminal copyright infringement, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and two counts of criminal copyright infringement.

>The complaint further reveals that the feds posed as an advertiser, which revealed a bank account associated with the site.

>It also shows that Apple handed over personal details of Vaulin after the investigator cross-referenced an IP-address used for an iTunes transaction with an IP-address that was used to login to KAT’s Facebook account.

>“Records provided by Apple showed that [email protected] conducted an iTunes transaction using IP Address 109.86.226.203 on or about July 31, 2015. The same IP Address was used on the same day to login into the KAT Facebook,” the complaint reads.

>In addition to the arrest in Poland, the court also granted the seizure of a bank account associated with KickassTorrents, as well as several of the site’s domain names.

>“In an effort to evade law enforcement, Vaulin allegedly relied on servers located in countries around the world and moved his domains due to repeated seizures and civil lawsuits. His arrest in Poland, however, demonstrates again that cybercriminals can run, but they cannot hide from justice.”

o fuk

I knew something was wrong with the site, since I couldn't get in.

hahahahahahahahahaah

fuck man now i know why it wasnt loading

any good alernatives to this?

rarbg, extratorrent, 1337x

and of course, private trackers

So is everybody who used kat recently fucked now?
Will the feds actually go through billions of ips to sue hundredthousands of people?

>So is everybody who used kat recently fucked now?
Only if you're american

Just the people who had KAT accounts. You will all be fucked.

Dinoaurs strikes again

Fuck you hollywood

pls gib PTP invite, promise to seed.

>KAT
>accounts

wut

>Seeding

And no, the US government isn't going to go after people who download torrents, they go after the ones supplying the torrents.

>His arrest in Poland, however, demonstrates again that cybercriminals can run, but they cannot hide from justice.”
Yet, AV Unit was never caught and he's still making fun of them on Twitter. He would have never been caught if he wasn't careless or used US servers.

lol will never happen

1337x is absolutely goattier for torrents and it has lasted super long for a torrent site

they had signups and shit complete with upvote/downvote system

What's wrong with TPB?
I ask seriously, I see that people don't use it much anymore but it still has whatever old movies/animes I'm looking for.

sent ;)

>What's wrong with TPB?

It's been raided before and yet it remains up.

It's a Fed-run honeypot.

Enjoy your jailtime.

>private trackers

i wish i knew someone who would actually give me a fucking invite man

[email protected] if anyone wants to be a bro and send me one...

gotta get those achievements

Apparently it's a honeypot, whatever that means in the context of a torrent site...

...

>gmail

I guess you want google to hand over your info to the feds like Apple did to the Kickass owner.

sent ;)

jfc man everything is compromised its 2016

make an effort and get into it yourself instead of being a beggar cuck, there's plenty of guides over here

yea you didnt send shit, unless you were talking about reporting my post, and if you did that im honestly not surprised. everyone on this website is a fucking dick. go to hell.

How would the feds know about an iTunes transaction ip address? Do they just request every company that could provide a web service to check their logs?

Fuck off FBI.

>Finally, Der-Yeghiayan also described how Apple provided a copy of Vaulin's e-mail account ([email protected]), which included other incriminating information that establishes probable cause of a criminal conspiracy. He concluded by noting that the Costa Rican and Filipino authorities have been alerted and that HSI and IRS would be using the MLAT process to try to seize the kat.cr and kat.ph domains, among others.

So who will come out on top now?

When PirateBay got seized there were a few public torrents vying for top position and KAT came out on top. Now that KAT's seized it will happen again.

They don't have to request, Apple provides back door for anything federal in the US, they built it in themselves, it was revealed during wikileaks.

I still have one more episode of Stranger Things to get! FUCK

shit i was gonna download a 1 seeder torrent of neds declassified. now its gone forever and TPB doesnt have it

use rarbg, dumbass

where's my fucking ghostbusterrs camrip goddamn it I've been waiting all week.

This, first time i use and its pretty good...too bad rarbg's own movie encodes are shit thou.

It's on others sites familia

Whoever it is I hope they step up their layout game, like KAT

other sites are too small or honeypots or private
>taking a job interview to pirate tv

>runs the biggest Torrent site in the world
>literally buys music from iHipsterfag company which is in bed with the CA, NSA, FBI, Michelle Obama and George Soros

Kek, the irony...

>Registrations are now closed!

I'm sad. I really liked it because I prefer to use public over private (obvious reasons) trackers and this was the best one. I have two private torrent accounts with different sites but rarely use them.

Oh well back to TPB I guess.

wont people just go back to TPB?

>registering
>at a public torrent site

no

>want to join a private tracker
>"we are no longer accepting invitations"

le secret club shit is so full of themselves

Yes, it is a thing. spread your cheeks pendejo.

>During the course of this investigation, I have dientified an Apple email account [email protected] that belongs to Vaulin.
Doesn't make it clear how he stumbled onto that specific email address.

you are better off using a public anyway

private tracker has some benefits, but its one point of failure, if the owner ever gets busted like kat just did as part of a plead deal he will 100% provide accounts and account history showing exactly what you downloaded and when. It's better to have the (relative) anonymity of a public tracker with no account.

What a dope.

I'll take "public trackers that pop up like weeds" for 1,000, Alec.

i just wanted a couple of porn vids i dont want to spend money on, and there nowhere to be found on public trackers

Damn this guy is good.

How many private trackers have ever been busted like that?

The trackers on it are the same ones you find everywhere else. Kind of hard to run a honey pot like that.

They keep it secret when they bust them and feds take over running it as a honeypot so you'd never now.

Uh huh. So basically never.

Now imagine how much of a retard you'd have to be to be caught by this dude...

Yeah, this pisses me off too. But at the end of the day it's just porn, you can live.

kek
the mail should have been [email protected]

All it would take is one person in the tracker getting arrested and it would be abandoned en masse. This has literally never happened, so you're full of shit.

Excellent
SnowTigers
Oink's Pink Palace

And on and on, all got busted. Fucking mouthbreathers.

places like what.cd will be next to get taken down p[people just dont want to admit it

EliteBits
Spavar
Swepiracy

Also PTs that got raided.

Sup Forums only uses public trackers so no one here knows about PTs getting taken down.

Why would they arrest you? They have ti all saved so they can use it against you when they further the authoritarian corporatism government you become a de facto political dissident.

>not having HDB
>not having PTP
>not having BTN

>Also PTs that got raided.

For hosting out of sweden...

>not having HIV

Doesn't matter. It just answers the question.

that's just legalese, you morons

rip /t/

>I will die before getting into BTN
life is suffering

this

kek

Remember when Sup Forums said KAT will at least always stay up because they complied with DMCA?

kek

sup NSAfags

nah man thats not of torrents work

morethantv and freshontv aren't bad alternatives

>live in a 3rd world country
>piracy laws are shit
>just today i download 10 movies more
>mfw

>Michelle Obama
Oh the horror

Same. Muricans aways ruin our fun by arresting the nice slav guys who owns public trackers.

Wouldnt peerblock work?

Shit, I got all my movies from there. Hope they don't go for nyaa next.

t. guy who posts fake shit every time kat goes down

Google it you piece of shit

they don't have the balls to kick that hornet's nest

Anime studios dont have the push hollywood and the RIAA has.

>we'll breach out "high privacy standards" when it suits us

Fuckin apple, man.

Based japs

Plus you know, it's the seeders in Japan. Do you know what the upload speed in that country is? Like 60mb/s.

Japan simply can't stop the uploads in time.

I think they tried to but gave up.

RIP ENTITLEMENT

Never forget.

>all the white people go to jail for pirating shit
>black people inherit da erf

Please move this discussion .

What?
Japs are terrified of piracy because they have insanely large punishments for it. You even get million dollar fines and jail time for making naked figures of the wrong characters.

this what you want, relation?
>black people inherit da erf
THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE FUCKING GETTING WITH THIS ENTITLEMENT NONSENSE

look, find a way in to a tracker you're not interested in, use a fake email that you can access only for the tracker. once you prove yourself on one tracker, it's easy to get in to other thru their private forums. it takes next to zero effort if you actually know how to seed and whatnot.

People have been saying this for over a year and yet nothing has happened. Nobody has come and kicked down anyone's doors and thrown a bag over their heads. In fact, just last month the RIAA tried to have TPB shut down again. They wouldn't be doing that if it was government-run.
