TorrentFreak have been running stories about Bitshare, Freakshare and Movie4k being connected to Kinox.to and two of the operators being the subject of a national manhunt.

and today Bitshare hit back

What's interesting about all this is that while we have known that Bitshare and Freakshare has the same ownership structure and Movie4k is closely related, we have seen absolutely nothing to connect Kinox.to.
This is all strange because the German authorities seem so sure that all four sites are connected.
It will be very interesting to see how all this plays out. Several jurisdictions are already preparing to pull the plug on the Freakshare and Bitshare infrastructure, nobody will mourn the loss of these sites except the upload monkeys.
