Thank you to everyone who has made a contribution, every dollar helps us keep up this fight.

We have started to remove alternative avenues for file lockers to monetize.

We have received an undertaking that eBay will no longer be a suitable venue for file locker resellers.

We are putting a lot of work into disrupting the activities of a reseller site called DOWNLOADNOLIMIT and soon we expect this site to have difficulty with processing payments.

Hotfile remains an active target and we're furthering our case for them to lose payment processing.

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

Live by the sword, die by the sword.

Piece of shit uploader should just feel lucky he didn't lose his life for stealing other people's work... fuck his shitty 3rd world 100$/month studio apartment he was able to live in by uploading copyright...

sig spot FTW

Don't you just love the old school pop-ups!

Also Plugrush and Exoclick all over the site.

We've reported it to both networks.

AdultKing - Sent you the MD5 DB and other info but not heard back from you... Do you mind dropping me an email.


Cheers.

done, thank you for that database, it's going to be extremely useful for us! :thumbsup

Who is now hosting luckyshare.net ?? they are ignoring DMCAs again

I have some bastard site ripping me at the moment and one of the networks is luckyshare

This user and his website have been banned. His widget still works, but the hits are NOT counted.

Luckyshare are the worst of the worst, I had a meeting today where they were one of the main talking points. Unfortunately there is no quick fix available at present, I've been using your DMCAs and those of other rights holders to build out case.

Surely you can disable widgets ? It would be a better deterrent to do so as to outside observers they still seem to be using Plugrush.

I'm also having an issue with this site.

Why not? What's the difference with other filelockers?

So now you're just taking his traffic for free?

It's a question of resources. This is time consuming and expensive work, we are very low on funds therefore need to prioritize, so while we are collecting evidence on LuckyShare, we are not in a position to deal with it as fully as we would like to right now.

I'm sure you've thought of this, but seeing as you are faced with an adult industry that moans but doesn't want to pony up cash to support your efforts, have you tried asking the MPAA or RIAA for funds? You seem to be achieving things which they haven't been able to do in years and years of trying. I would have thought they'd be all over you with support...

We've made overtures through AFACT without success. To date no large rightholder representative body has shown any interest in what we do.

You're right though, we are achieving things they haven't been able to achieve, perhaps that's part of the problem.

Are you saying that they haven't signed up with your service because they're jealous of your accomplishments?

If only you were around with what you are doing now in 2006 and 2007. Unfortunately now the industry has practically been taken over by the thieves so you get little or no financial support. I wish I could help financially but when conversions are 3-7 times worse than they once were four or five years ago as an affiliate you can do the math on that one. Thanks again for what you are doing.

I typed what I wanted to say. Don't try to put words into my mouth, stick to your relentless trolling instead.

Times are tough and every dollar we have received has helped us go that little bit further, however the fact is this is a pretty big industry and it's been a handful of generous people who have helped us keep going.

I am thankful to everyone who has contributed either financial or moral support.

Re-read what you said. You said that holders of rights to digital content are not signing up and that the fact you've accomplished what they've failed at is what could be preventing them from signing up. Grow a set of balls and come out and say exactly what it is you want to say rather than trying to hide behind deceptive and condescending text aimed at your potential customers.

No that's not what I said, you can re-read what I said a few times and maybe it will sink in.

I was asked about the MPAA and RIAA which are rights holder representative bodies, I explained that they have not shown any interest in what we are doing.

As we do not sign up rights holder representative bodies and have no intention of doing so, it follows that they could never be, in your words, our "customers".

It's patently clear you have no understanding of our structure, or what we do or who we do represent despite over 4000 posts in this thread. Perhaps brush up on that before making false claims and incorrect assumptions.

double that :thumbsup

With all honesty...
Don't you know that PlugRush, EroAdvertising, JuicyAds, TrafficHolder, etc are the only sources to monetize warez sites? They are a huge share of your traffic and there's no problem for you to recognize and ban them if you'd like to.
But your business rely on them. You've banned some little guy, but u don't mind to contribute by banning some major ones.

I smell hypocrisy

Those traffic brokers are another challenge for the industry. They all are full with flees and should be abused in every possible way.

The irony of such a post coming from an anonymous internet troll is too huge to measure.

The obstacle I see with contributions for most producers is there's no way to effectively measure results, kind of like donating to fight Global Warming or save the Polar Bears.

I think most would gladly donate if they could verify results. I agree that cutting off the money is key and so far it sounds like Paypal is a big part of that but how easy is it for a locker to open a new Paypal account? If they are blocked indefinitely then that's progress but if they can just open another account and continue on business as usual then it's about as effective as DMCA.

The fact is the traffic is still flowing, until the widget is replaced with blank images and broken links then not enough has been done.

I note that Plugrush has replied here but not responded to our email to abuse@plugrush

I also note that the widgets are still active, still clickable and someone is deriving benefit from this piracy site by way of traffic.

They are not allowed to return to Paypal, if they do the accounts are closed and they see no money.

We have been shutting off far more than Paypal.

Thus far we have hit the merchant facilities of dozens of file hosts, third party processors and resellers.

We've been operating only six months, in that time we have virtually wiped out the bottom end of the file sharing industry bar a few hangers on and we have seriously wounded the upper end of the industry.

One site we have hit several times is Rapidgator. This is a site which presents real problems to rights holders as it is poised to exceed Rapidshare for traffic share.

We're trying to dismantle a very profitable industry that has been set up over many years, our progress in six months is unprecedented.

And that is why porn as an industry has always failed to do anything against piracy (or anything for that matter). No one gives a shit about anyone else and unless results can be directly and instantly measured they are not interested.

Here is a guy who is accomplishing things no one else has been able to do before (not even the Music industry or Hollywood) and is making serious progress on seriously limited funds, yet few can be bothered to support him even if it is only $25 or a thread bump. Yet the largest companies who could actually fund him properly (but don't) have no problems throwing away large amounts of money to worthless organizations like the FSC.

We are our own worst enemy. And this is why in the end the criminals will win and the honest people will lose or have their income drastically reduced, as most are seeing now.

Look at what has been done already with very little funding, just a couple of people, and a short amount of time. Then imagine the damage that could be done with a properly funded and staffed operation.

post removed

I agree, this is a tough group to sell to and this is a tough service to sell due to lack of tangible results. It's only human nature to measure results for the money you spend. This is a huge problem that effects all of us so if only a small percentage pay, then they are carrying the entire industry.

Adult probably has the best chance of making an impact because our content is against Paypal's policy.

Manwin claims to be supporting the fight and he has deep pockets so he should be dishing out some serious cash for something like this.

Is there even a way of verifying that your content is on a locker without actually having to join first?

Yes, we do this every day as do those who provide DMCA removal services.

I mean is there a way for each producer to verify without having to buy one of their "Premium" memberships.

Yes, as I said we do this every day.

I wont explain the process as we don't want to give the bad guys insight into how we monitor them.
