Is there any evidence that this “YTS” that we’re talking about right now is the real YTS? Whoever was behind YTS got into legal trouble a few years ago and shut down his site, leaving the markets to lots of copycats with YTS-inspired designs and domain names.

There is no official YTS. YIFY-TORRENTS was shut down, the most popular and semi-professional site is YTS.(some domain), but there is no official one.

The original would still be the real one even if it has been shut down.

Well yes, but it wouldn't be YTS but YIFY-TORRENTS.

Thanks for the explanation. I always thought YTS and YIFY-TORRENTS were the same operation.
