War between major torrent sites and YTS imitators

Popular pirate websites blacklisted the new YIFY (YTS) sites that emerged from the scene of the original group when the MPAA filed a lawsuit in New Zealand.Piracy yts

The YIFY team for those who don't know, had pirated through the webof YTS.to, which stopped working, as we mentioned before.

The MPAA has managed to discover the true identity of the team leader, a young man living in the suburbs of Auckland, New Zealand. Of course, the MPAA immediately filed a lawsuit, but the two parties reached an agreement, and the site silently closed a few days later.

YIFY team's departure from the piracy scene left a big void that many set out to fill by using derivatives of the original group name. So within a short period of time they create fake websites that use the group's name and take advantage of the traffic that YIFY had, making money from ads.

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, Torrents, and RARBG, have officially announced their plans to block YTS.ag movie releases from 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 big torrent sites seem to repay an old debt, making sure that the scammers that forced EZTV to close, will not benefit from closing the YIFY website.
