The popular websiteσελίδα torrent YTS recently changed its domain name and moved to a Lithuanian top-level domain. The administrators haven't said why they made the change, but it's very likely that they have issues with a film company, as new lawsuits have recently been filed in the US.
YTS has millions of visitors and seems to be the most popular torrent site on the Internet, surpassing even Pirate Bay.
The site "unofficially" took over the brand name YTS when the original team left the site 2015. Since then it has millions of daily visitors.
For the record, the page was first released with the domain YTS.ag, which changed to YTS.am two years later. This month, the torrent site was moved back to a new domain, YTS.lt, using top-level domain of Lithuania.
The site did not post anything about the change, and the old .am domain is still running, along with the new one.
Of course, as we mentioned earlier, the older YTS.am domain does not work on Greece without changing the DNS, because of EDPPI and the blocking it imposed through Internet distribution providers.
The page states:
Η access on the page you tried to visit has been suspended by a decision of EDPPI because it provided access illegally to works protected by intellectual property rights.
Think that by choosing to access content from legal sources, you contribute to artistic creation, to the improvement of cultural productand in the development of the economy
However the new domain has not been blocked yet, and you can see it (at least for now) without any change in its DNS router ή of your computer.
As you can see, changing the domain of a "forbidden" site can only help temporarily, as once it comes to the attention of the competent authorities, it will be blocked again.
