KickassTorrents, one of the largest content search engines for peer networks, “has come back to life” by the hands of some of its former managers and is available on the Katcr.co domain.
As you know, Kickass Torrents closed its doors last summer when it was at the top of the world P2P portals and after the arrest of its creator, a Ukrainian named Artem Vaulin accused of copyright infringement, money laundering, and criminal conspiracy.
As in the case of The Pirate Bay, it was seen to come, because a month before Kickass Torrents eliminated a million torrents after a demand for compliance with the DMCA, Digital Millennium Copyright Act, or United States Copyright Law, and also announced the opening of a parallel domain on the anonymous TOR network to avoid censorship and protect itself against complaints of copyright infringement, which ultimately led to the closure of the portal.
Just a day after its shutdown, IsoHunt – another major torrent file referencer – attempted to resurrect it by launching a clone of the portal and a similar domain, kickasstorrents.website.
Not enough for a group of people who previously worked on the original Kickass Torrent and who have put a reincarnation in motion in hopes of restoring its former glory. The new site uses a fresh and secure database, but with the same overall look and feel.
“Most of our initial staff, administrators, and the moderation team joined us after the closing, of which we are very proud. This shows the loyalty, dedication, and love to KAT that we all share, “ explained the team responsible for the resurrection to Torrent Freak.
The new Kickass Torrents is available on the Katcr.co domain . It may be that when you read this the page does not load correctly. They seem to be having trouble with the onslaught of traffic. We do not know if the problems will also be legal soon.
