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.

"Most Stupid Country" Article from TIME Magazine


For those who are pissed off by the viral post circulating Social Networking Sites about Philippines being the "Most Stupid Country", well don't make such a fuzz about it. The article is fake.

Circulating the web is an article suspected to originate from "So What's News?" and for those who didn't even took the time reading something about them, here is a little detail hanging from the sidelines of the blog.
So, What’s News? is a SATIRICAL & FICTIONAL news website. Our aim is to inject humor into everyday news to provide respite to readers who have grown weary with mainstream news organization’s partisan, biased and depressing way of presenting the news.
While the rage of comments continue to flow in the blog, citizens seems to have took the bait causing a flow of anger to news feeds of social networking sites.

For those who believed the story, please take the time to read. You're depending on the internet where everyone's a self-proclaimed writer.
