Sorry this thread is a month old but I just wanted to say the reason piracy has gotten even worse with filehosts is because uploaders can make a lot of money uploading other peoples' content.
For example, with fileserve for example I can upload 300MB videos from good producers and for every download I make .01 to .015 dollars. If you are like some of the guys who make threads with over 50 pages and upload hundreds of gigabytes you can potentially make hundreds maybe even a couple thousand dollars.
Then what these guys do is then go to all the sites such as pornbb, porn-w, forumophilia, asianforumer, and so many more... You can make good money with all the filehosts.
oron who apparently just bought pornbb, then filesonic, megaupload, rapidshare and on and on.
I really scratch my head on hell it is going to be contained, because I don't know. Bitching about it and for the most part just lawsuits isn't going to stop it.
You can't stop piracy but this is just out of control. I sink into depression when I see threads with full site rips uploaded. Google secretly supports it so people use them to search.
I guess it just requires a lot of hard thought to solve effectively...
