How Apple and Facebook helped to bust the world's biggest torrent site, KickassTorrents

KickassTorrents (KAT), one of the most popular websites for illegal file sharing was shut down after the alleged 30-year-old Ukranian owner and operator, Artem "Tirm" Vaulin was arrested in Poland on Wednesday at the behest of the U.S. government. The U.S. authorities also seized seven of the site's domains, all of which are now offline.
