MyGaming recently reported on the shutdown <\/a><\/strong>of KickassTorrents and how we shouldn’t expect <\/a><\/strong>to see the site go back up anytime soon.<\/p>\n

That may not impede\u00a0users of the website however, as dozens of clones of the site have begun springing up across the internet, reports Gizmodo<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

An administrator, who preferred to remain anonymous, said that the site is hosted \u201con a pool of self replicating cloud servers,\u201d which means it builds copies and backups of itself with the latest server IP addresses, although the process isn\u2019t automatic.<\/p>\n

We have long been advocate of freedom and are against censorship. These beliefs motivated us to rebuild KAT. Our team took extreme care that it should be as similar as possible to KAT, the administrator said in an email to Gizmodo. \u201cLong live KAT, long live freedom.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This raises other concerns, as unauthorised clones have also begun to appear, hosting malicious downloads.<\/p>\n
