The popular torrent site YTS recently changed its domain name and moved to a top-level domain in Lithuania. Managers have not said why they made the change, but it is very likely that they have problems with a film company, as new lawsuits have recently been filed in the US.
YTS has millions of visitors and seems to be the most popular torrent site in the Internet, even surpassing the Pirate Bay.
Ο website "unofficially" took over the YTS brand name 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 did not post anything about the change, and the old .am domain is still running, along with the new one.
Of course as we mentioned earlier, the oldest domain YTS.am does not work 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 legal sources, you contribute to artistic creation, to the improvement of cultural product and in 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.
