Commenting on the announcement, Assistant Attorney General Caldwell said that KickassTorrents helped to distribute over $1 billion in pirated files.
“Vaulin is charged with running today’s most visited illegal file-sharing website, responsible for unlawfully distributing well over $1 billion of copyrighted materials.”
“In an effort to evade law enforcement, Vaulin allegedly relied on servers located in countries around the world and moved his domains due to repeated seizures and civil lawsuits.
His arrest in Poland, however, demonstrates again that cybercriminals can run, but they cannot hide from justice.”
Its always fascinating to me to see the lengths that the US government will go to enforce some laws while paying lip service on other laws.
