Kickass Torrents DOWN, Because the DOMAIN NAME EXPIRED ???

B. Friendly · Jan 27, 2013

kickass torrent's url redirected me to the half-assed phillipino domain registry, offering it for sale. Check of "kickass torrents down" yeilds this:

http://torrentfreak.com/kickasstorrents-goes-down-after-kat-ph-domain-expires-130126/

KickassTorrents is down, possibly because the domain name expired. People all around the world are unable to access the second most visited torrent site since an hour or so. TorrentFreak contacted the admins to ask for an explanation, but we have yet to hear back from them.

I find it hard to believe that the domain name expired. I think a more likely explanation is some kind of governmental action.

That's weird. I wonder if its blocked in the states then because it's still not working for me. Same error message.
