Kickass Torrents owner arrested, site down ☹

Coincidentally I started getting anti-piracy nag screens from my ISP around the same time. It was pretty confusing. I thought the site was just blocked at my house, and then there were news stories about it.

It was a helpful illustration of the utility of encrypted web browsing: Nag screen only visible with scripting enabled but no https. Nice man-in-the-middle attack, Comcast. I guess I do care about this stuff.
