ARMOUR Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 One of the main domains associated with the now-defunct KickassTorrents website has gone up for sale. Registered with the same Costa Rican registry as the site's main Kat.cr domain, Kickass.cr is available via the SEDO marketplace for a minimum bid of $230. these domain names are registered with the Costa Rican registry, hence, away from the U.S. Government’s reach KickassTorrents.com has already been seized and currently displays the familiar Homeland Security/Department of Justice seizure banner. Kastatic.com, a domain utilized for some technical aspects of the site, is also in the hands of the United States government. Thekat.tv has been taken too and is being directed to the familiar SeizedServers.com. It does not currently display the banner, however. All three of these domains were under the control of the US-based Verisign registry, which might explain why they were seized so rapidly. That being said, the Tonga-based Kickass.to also fell quickly into US hands, despite the ccTLD being a famous hold-out for all kinds of pirate sites. It too displays the seized banner. Others are taking longer to process, such as the Philippines-based Kat.ph. That domain hasn’t been used for some time though, despite being involved in earlier legal disputes. Interestingly, Kat.cr, the site’s main domain, and Kickass.cr, a memorable backup, are both sitting dormant and not yet directing to a seizure banner. The Costa Rican domain registry in control of them is staying tight-lipped over their status, informing TorrentFreak that local legislation forbids them from providing details. “According to the Republic of Costa Rica Law on Protection of Persons against the use of their Personal Data (Law No. 8968), we are not authorized to provide information of any kind about .cr domains to third parties who are not the owners of the domain,” the registry told TF.

After all, they have done so much for us. I think the Federal government will refuse any Christmas present since it is not politically correct. The war on Christmas is still ongoing.
