The US’ Department of Justice’s new policy of seizing the domain names of infringing websites is having an impact. Torrent site KickassTorrents is about to switch its .com domain with a .ph domain, in an effort to escape its site being forced offline by the US authorities. KickassTorrents has been named on several lists of ‘notorious’ infringing sites recently. “It is not a secret that today everything related to torrents gets a lot of heat from various organizations. So for the safety of our users and to secure the work of KickassTorrents we will in time lose the .com address,” the site tells its users in a statement. Source: TorrentFreak
