Popular pirates websites έβαλαν στη μαύρη λίστα τις νέες ιστοσελίδες YIFY (YTS) που εμφανίστηκαν την απομάκρυνση από τη σκηνή της αρχικής teams, when the MPAA filed a lawsuit in New Zealand.
The YIFY team for those who do not know, had pirated movies through their YTS.to website, which stopped working as we have mentioned before.
The MPAA has managed to discover the true identity of the group's leader, a young man who lives in the suburbs of Auckland, New Zealand. Of course the MPAA filed a lawsuit right after, but the two parties reached an agreement, and the website was quietly shut down a few days later.
The removal of the YIFY group from the pirate scene left a large gap that too many people were able to cover by using domain names derived from the original group's name. So in a little while they create fake websites that use the name of the team and take advantage of YIFY's move by earning money from advertisements.
There are cases where users have fallen into malware, not torrents.
To date, the YTS.ag website is reported to be the most popular of these websites that mimic YIFY. But the pirate community does not seem to agree with the idea.
Major torrent sites such as: ExtraTorrent, Kickass Torrents, and RARBG have officially announced their plans to block YTS.ag movie releases from fundamentals their data.
As TorrentFreak says, they do it for two reasons.
The first is respectful of the original YIFY (YTS) team, which does not allow other teams to take advantage of their hard work.
The second reason is a bit more complicated, but apparently the people behind YTS.ag are the same people who occupied the EZTV website by the real owner.
So now the major torrent sites seem to be paying one back old debt, making sure that the crooks who forced EZTV to shut down will not benefit from the shutdown of YIFY's website.
