Every year, in Actualidad Gadget We publish a list with the classification of the best Torrent sites from the previous year. In recent years, KickAss has become the first position ousting the veteran Pirate Bay, mainly due to the problems he has had with the justifica of his country. But it seems that Pirate Bay is not the only one that has seen its doors lowered so far.
The owner of KickAss has been arrested in Poland thanks to the help of Apple, which was the one who provided the IP data that the owner, Artem Vaulim, used to make a purchase on iTunes. Shortly after, he used the same email account to log into the Facebook website., so the relationship between the two emails was more than evident.
Apple, after the request by the American authorities, proceeded to train the IP from where that transaction had been made and thus they could find the owner of the largest torrent page in the world today, which of course has stopped working. Despite the fact that the arrest took place in Poland, quickly The United States has requested extradition, as Vaulim faces various charges for copyright infringement in addition to money laundering.
The KickAss Torrent website, better known as KAT, operated in 28 languages and quickly offered the latest film and television releases in a multitude of languages. But it also offered the latest versions of any application for Windows or Mac. According to the United States Department of Justice, the website would be valued at about 54 million dollars, with an annual turnover between 12 and 22 million dollars.
