A few days ago, we reported that MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) filed two lawsuits against Popcorn Time and YTS (formerly known as YIFY).
The first lawsuit filed by the MPAA was against three Popcorn Time developers who live in Canada, while the second treatment it followed a few days later, against the operator of the YTS.to domain, which has so far remained anonymous. What we do know is that he resides in New Zealand.
The MPAA with the two lawsuits asks the court for precautionary measures to prevent the two services from opening again.
According to information from the NZ Herald, a news agency from New Zealand, the MPAA's lawsuit against the YTS operator "appears to have already ended as both parties reached an out-of-court settlement."
Details of the deal have not been released yet, but the NZ Herald reports that the YTS owner "lives in a house in the suburbs of Auckland", New Zealand's largest city (not the capital).
Common sense says that if the anonymous Admin του YTS δεν θέλει να πάει στη φυλακή ή να πληρώσει τεράστια πρόστιμα, μάλλον "θα πρέπει να δώσει εμπιστευτικές πληροφορίες σχετικά με την εσωτερική δομή και τον τρόπο λειτουργίας της ομάδας YIFY."
Since the release YIFY movie group has several members in many countries (Russia and Eastern Europe), many suspect that the YTS administrator will try to buy his freedom by giving his former partners.
Meanwhile, TorrentFreak reports that MPAA is now the legal owner of domain yts.to.
