KAT.PH Blocked by Philippine Government

Days after the government placed a TRO (Temporary Restraining Order), the infamous torrent site that holds ".ph" TLD, kat.ph or most widely known as "Kick Ass Torrent" is now alive and back on business. Despite the restless effort that the Philippine Government put to keep piracy involvement in the Philippines be minimized KAT had already made backups which is pretty much normal for a well maintained website.


If the sources claims were true, it only took less than 12 hours before regular users regain access to the site which is now redirected to "kickass.to"

Same speed, same resources and same audience. It did hold a ".ph" TLD but that doesn't literally mean that the one behind the schemes are Filipinos. (It hasn't been proven yet.)

KAT was blocked according to Interaksyon News because it serves as a source to download OPM songs. Some may have downloaded OPM from that site, but most of the users definitely use it for different interests.
