The two groups were known to never provide any fake links, a problem that used to be quite prevalent on public bittorrent sites prior to improvements in community-powered filtering in recent years. A group of volunteers gathered in the <a href="/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat" class="mw-redirect" title="Internet Relay Chat">IRC</a> channel #EZTV on the <a href="/wiki/EFnet" title="EFnet">EFnet</a> IRC network to create a TV torrent group from scratch in order to fill this void in the public bittorrent scene. </p><p>The idea behind EZTV was to create a group that would pick up where its two predecessors left off while avoiding what they considered the "weak spots" that had brought them down. This meant that EZTV should never host its own torrent files, its leadership structure should be dynamic and opaque to avoid presenting any obvious target for litigation, and the group should not host or run its own <a href="/wiki/BitTorrent_tracker" title="BitTorrent tracker">tracker</a>. </p><p>In addition, it was decided that EZTV should be a purely non-profit group by never asking for money of any kind from its users and to never have advertisements to avoid "profiting from piracy" litigation. This means that EZTV was run entirely on a volunteer basis. This clean, no-ads profile of EZTV has made the site a popular destination for the public torrent scene. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="EZTVEFNET.org">EZTVEFNET.org</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=EZTV&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: EZTVEFNET.org"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>During its first years of operation, EZTV hosted its site under the domain name eztvefnet.org.
