In a surprising turn of events, EZTV, one of the world’s leading torrenting sites, has officially shut down. This site was well-known for providing access to a wide array of pirated TV shows, making it a go-to platform for many users seeking entertainment. However, following a tumultuous period marked by a hostile takeover, the site has now gone offline, leaving its loyal users searching for alternatives.
The challenges faced by EZTV began when its leader, known as NovaKing, distanced himself from the site. This departure triggered a series of unfortunate events, including the suspension of its domain name, which was subsequently seized by scammers. These scammers not only created new domains but also regained control over EZTV’s original domain, accessing its servers and email accounts.
As reports from TorrentFreak indicate, the situation became increasingly dire for the original team behind EZTV. Although they had the option to relaunch the site under a new name, the loss of all data proved to be a devastating blow. Consequently, they decided to permanently shut down the site, marking the end of a significant chapter in the torrenting community.
Despite the original EZTV site being offline, scammers still control its Italian and Swiss domains, which continue to distribute torrents, raising questions about their authenticity. This shutdown also affected other platforms that relied on EZTV for content, such as the Pirate Bay, which has since disabled the accounts associated with the EZTV team. The claims of continuity made by those operating these sites do not resonate with users who are now left wary and uncertain.
