They do not even host those any more
All of the Torrent Sites are only Indexers of Magnet Links, no different than google. The BT Client then takes the Magnet Link, downloads the torrent file from peers in the network.
When you Click on a download link from KAT nothing is downloaded from their server, it is simply a protocol link that tells your BT client what file you want.
It is Technologically No different than a HTTP url, so if KAT if violating Copyright law then every other Search Engine is as well
- downandout 10y agoI always use magnet links, but I thought KAT offered multiple formats for each link, including the magnet link but also the torrent file. In any event, I agree with you that this is an incredibly slippery slope the government is going down here. They are also taking a significant risk in filing this case, as an acquittal will set a precedent that operating a torrent site does not constitute copyright infringement.
