The popular YTS torrent site has changed recently domain name and transferred to a Lithuanian top-level domain. The administrators haven't said why they made the change, but it's very possible that they have issues with a film company, as new lawsuits have recently been filed in the US.
YTS has millions visitors and seems to be the most popular torrent site on the Internet now, overtaking even the Pirate Bay.
The site "unofficially" took over the brand name YTS when the original team left the site 2015. Since then it has millions of daily visitors.
For the record, the page was first released with the domain YTS.ag, which changed to YTS.am two years later. This month, the torrent site was moved back to a new domain, YTS.lt, using top-level domain of Lithuania.
The site didn't post anything about the change, and the old .am domain still works, alongside the new one.
Of course, as we mentioned earlier, the oldest YTS.am domain does not operate in Greece without changing the DNS, due to the EMPPI and the blockade imposed through the Internet distribution providers.
The page states:
The access to the page you tried to visit has been suspended by a decision of the EDPPI because it provided illegal access to works that are protected by copyright.
Think that by choosing to access content from legitimate sources, you are contributing to the artistic creation, the improvement of the cultural product and the development of the economy.
However the new domain has not been blocked yet, and you can see it (at least for now) without any change in its DNS router ή of your computer.
As you understand, changing the domain of a "banned" site can only help temporarily, as soon as it falls into the caution of the competent authorities, it will be blocked again.
