摘要
Ever since the Pirate Bay was taken down by prosecutors, the go-to place for most pirates has been KickassTorrents. In its heyday, KickassTorrents was the most popular file-sharing site in the world and was pulling in over $10 million in annual advertising revenue. As you would guess, prosecutors and copyright holders weren't exactly happy about KickassTorrents holding this title, but unlike with the Pirate Bay's founders, prosecutors had no clue who founded KickassTorrents. Artem Vaulin had managed to stay anonymous for years without drawing the attention of authorities. But, now that the Pirate Bay was down, prosecutors went after KickassTorrents. Federal agents purchased ads on KickassTorrents in order to collect information on the bank accounts KickassTorrents was using and the IP addresses linked to these activities. Prosecutors were able to turn around and cross-reference this IP address with Apple in order to track down and arrest Artem Vaulin. Throughout KickassTorrent's life, it has distributed over $1 billion worth of copyrighted material, so prosecutors threw on every charge they could on Artem. But, Artem ended up skipping bail and fleeing the country, and he has yet to be found. This video explains the story of Artem Vaulin and KickassTorrents and what happened to KickassTorrents' founders.
