Technically Katz.cd isn't illegal since it only index's the illegal sites for hits.

Please don't delete this thread under those terms.

I tried accessing Katz.cd 2 days ago and it comes up with a dodgy looking pay to download website, and still nothing has changed today either. Is this the death of one of the largest indexing sites ever? I've heard mixed reports on threads that it is gone for good due to an arguement in the leadership, or that it has been hacked. I tried finding their facebook page which apparently existed but doesn't look like it.

Anyone got info or want to speculate?

Yep it's dead.

" What initially started out as a compromise has lead to an internal disagreement to the sites operation. There are many rumors floating around and even news articles, though I cannot say many are even close to the truth and it is far more complicated than what it seems.

Following many hours of discussions and ideas we've not been able to come to an agreement.

From this point on, Katz Downloads will cease to operate. The closure is permanent.

It's important to remember that WJunction has no direct links to the Katz Network and it's been nothing more than a support forum. WJunction will continue to operate as usual.

We have no bearing on this besides requesting that the Katz Downloads section shortly be removed.

Thank you. "
