KickassTorrents lawyer: “torrent sites do not violate criminal copyright laws”

31 10 2016
Lawyers representing Artem Vaulin have filed their formal legal response to prosecutors’ allegations of conspiracy to commit criminal copyright infringement, among other charges. Vaulin is the alleged head of KickassTorrents (KAT).
