The administrator of YTS, which is now the second largest torrent site in the world, provided data of the site users to a law firm that had undertaken to discover copyright infringers.
It is known that sites like Pirate Bay αποθηκεύουν τις διευθύνσεις IP και άλλα δεδομένα από τους χρήστες τους, όπως για παράδειγμα τα emails τους. Οι χρήστες φυσικά ελπίζουν ότι αυτά τα δεδομένα είναι ασφαλή. 
So today TorrentFreak published evidence that shows that YTS did not respect the privacy of its users.
YTS Senthal site administrator Vijay Segaran appears to have begun working with major law firm Culpepper, providing email and IP addresses to document lawsuits filed against "pirates" in the United States.
Other than that, the specifics data were also allegedly used to email threats to alleged YTS users, demanding large cash settlements to avoid possible criminal charges.
TorrentFreak today unveiled one such email sent by Culpepper to an alleged YTS user. He cites all the information he has about that user, he goes on to say that the law firm filed a copyright infringement lawsuit in a Hawaiian court on behalf of its clients and then obtained the information from many users from the administrator of the YTS website.
"These include yours"
It should be noted that although they have user details there is no usable evidence that someone downloaded the torrent onto their computer, except perhaps archive .torrent which is not illegal as it only contains metadata, i.e. data that describes other data.
