The administrator of YTS, which is currently the second largest website torrent sites in the world, provided the site's user data to a law firm tasked with tracking down copyright infringers.
Είναι γνωστό ότι ιστότοποι όπως το 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 safe. 
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.
In addition, the information was allegedly used for e-mail threats to alleged YTS users, demanding multi-cash settlements to avoid possible criminal prosecution.
TorrentFreak today featured one such email sent by Culpepper to an alleged YTS user. Lists all the information they have on this particular user, goes on to state that the law firm filed a lawsuit infringementcopyright in a court in Hawaii on behalf of its clients and then that it obtained the information from multiple users from the YTS website administrator.
"These include yours"
It should be mentioned that although they have user details there is no evidence that can be used that someone downloaded the torrent to computer of, except perhaps the archive .torrent which is not illegal as it only contains metadata, i.e. data that describes other data.
