U.S. Authorities Shut Down 73,000 Blogs

[Luscious Media]

After the U.S. Government took action against several sites connected to movie streaming recently, nerves are jangling over the possibility that this is just the beginning of a wider crackdown. Now it appears that a free blogging platform has been taken down by its hosting provider on orders from the U.S. authorities on grounds of ?a history of abuse?. More than 73,000 blogs are out of action as a result.

From the article.............

Bn.xx*********** was terminated by request of law enforcement officials, due to material hosted on the server.

We are limited as to the details we can provide to you, but note that this was a critical matter and the only available option to us was to immediately deactivate the server.

Please note that this was not a typical case, in which suspension and notification would be the norm. This was a critical matter brought to our attention by law enforcement officials. We had to immediately remove the server.

You obviously haven't paid gideongallery $5,000 dollars plus 10% of your lifetime earnings for his "training" so you would understand it.

Good. now if they can keep them offline.

I'm sure he is just timeshifting some information off of the swarm and the cloud to finish off his presentation to you.

Bush did jack shit for you as far as this business is concerned.

Just remember that the reason people went broke from piracy is because
Bush sat on his fucking ass for 8 years and did nothing.

Don't get caught up in "buzz words" like socialism which I truly doubt that
you even understand.

Start looking at your fucking reality.

This administration is doing something to put money back in my fucking pocket and
assholes who call it "socialism" are fucking with my financial interest.

[Agent 488]

if they really want to make a dent they have to go after pay per download programs like hotfile and sharing matrix as most pirate blogs make their money through them.

[spunky99]

nice, hopefully they arent done

He has his email for you on a bit torrent. Backed up 10,000 times in a cloud. With a private tracker. In parody form. You have fair use to download, read, and monetize that email with the "new revenue stream"

You created a Hollywood movie recently? You people are really fucking naive if you ever think they will go after adult sites. They are operating in conjunction with the MPAA, RIAA, etc who direct lobby and finance them. They don't give a fuck about your site, they care about their business. DMCA, ACTA, will continue to protect the tubes for a long time to come, unless you, or others personally sue them. All the Government is doing here is socializing the cost for the movie industry because they line their pockets. Buy a fucking a clue. Or download one for free lol

[brassmonkey]

they'll never stop it.

No movie. But I created music playing in the movie.

So eat shit and crawl in a hole and die please.

I won't be at all shocked to see changes made to the DMCA rules. Big companies are getting tired of websites hiding behind the loopholes in these rules and these companies have plenty of money and influence in Washington. It isn't going to happen overnight, but I won't be shocked to see a more strict version of DMCA released.

Really now? Lets see, they could use this very thing to take all the big tubes etc off line and claim how they have helped clean illegal porn off the net... hmmm sounds like a political winner to me.

Its called ACTA. And hate to tell you guys, read the drafts - but it isn't going to touch the tubes.

I'm not so worried about the tubes. I think the tubes will eventually take care of themselves by over-saturating the market and eventually stagnating their revenue. I want to see the torrent sites come down.

At the very least a tube site still makes you browse the site and look at ads in order to see the videos. With torrents you can download an entire member's area with just a few clicks.

Its one step closer atleast, doesn't mean the government will ever give a shit about us in adult. You ask anyone who is a politician about porn stars, owners, and reps they will snarl just as if you were talking about pimps and hookers.

[tony286]

I think the music, tv and film industry are putting lots of pressure and they make big donations. Also you got a vice president who considers it stealing which we never heard from an admin.

from what i've been reading tubes would be fair game. However, I think they would be more consumed with the bigger fish in the pond than tubes

But the government has prosecuted copyright claims for pirated porn video cassettes
in the past.

The real reason nothing is being done about porn is that nobody in porn is putting
up the same money/fight as the music/movie industry.

I've never come to this board and seen a thread where a sponsor announces they
were suing a tube site.

[Agent 488]

gayporn programs are very aggressive and successful shutting down tubes and pirate sites.

That might have worked 2 years ago when the shit first started to get bad. But honestly bro...I don't know many companies left that can AFFORD to hire attorneys and fight in court.
Most of them are busy downsizing and cutting costs just trying to survive.

Not saying there aren't a handful with deep pockets. But even someone with deep pockets that has seen their revenue stream cut by 50 to 60% over the last 2 years isn't going to come out ready to fight with that money. No, they are going to hoard it and hope to ride things out.

Can't blame 'em one bit. Also consider that once you go to court suing somebody...you just put yourself on the govt. radar screen. I personally wouldn't do it even if I had the money to hand in barrels full to fucking lawyers.

You should know by now he never shows up in these kinds of threads...only the ones where judges rule in favor of pirates.

Based on you actually thinking that "The Ultimate Revenge" DVD makes sense; I don't
blame you for staying below the radar.

But for us to claim the government will not do anything when we never even filed a
complaint is false predictions.

Besides, I would think a person could file in small claims court and represent themselves
for a couple hundred dollars. That is better than nothing.

Step by step, site by site... it's happening.

[seeandsee]

they will reg new domain and here we go agasin

[fatfoo]

Wow, that's a lot of blogs.

[TheDoc]

I don't know everything the Gov has done, but they have hit some Americans and I'm sure they will start reaching into friendly Countries soon enough. While they can't take them all down, they do have a lot more power than we do with the courts when it comes to this type of action. This is being taken like an act of terrorism on our nations income machine.

At first it sounded more like counterfeiting was the main target - rather bad piracy and very understandable. But if they're going after people that abuse dmca then this could be a huge game changer. It's not just abusing sites, it's abusing hosts, people, backbones, all of it... it doesn't look like they are playing any games here - they just need more time really.

If they do, it will give us more power in the Courts, this could vastly change things.

[Agent 488]

broke governments looking to increase tax revenue from IP will do more to shut down piracy will do more than any industry lobby group can dream of.
