KickAss torrent is down
Bad news for the users of KickAss Torrent who will have to find another torrent media. Its alleged leader has been arrested and the site is now offline. 30 year old Artem Vaulin was arrested by the US reaching all the way to Poland.
Artem has been charged with two separate counts of criminal copyright infringement, conspiracy to commit criminal copyright infringement and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
He is believed to be the founder of this torrent website that went live 8 years ago. He was arrested by the US since a server of the torrent website was based in Chicago.
Receiving about 50 million visitors per month, KickAss Torrent was even more popular than The Pirate Bay.
