Why would the US be involved if it was a tax issue? Why would he owe the US tax? I thought they were involved because of copyright/piracy.

- herbst 10y agoi did not find any evidence that he broke such a law. given i dont know the exact circumstances and law, but seems nobody accused him of actual copyright issues but only providing a platform for distribution. which is afaik not illegal anywhere in europe.
- DanBC 10y agoThe law he's accused of breaking is something like "providing tools which are mostly used for copyright violation". The reason the US is involved is because KAT had, at some point, a bit of hosting in the US. (I agree that it's weird that the US feels like they have jurisdiction here.)
- herbst 10y agoBut that explains it, hosting in the US is a mistake he probably should not have made. Kudos for providing this explanation, i feel much less scared and pissed now :)
