Filesonic getting nervous?
 

Quote from a pirate forum I just saw with someone else confirming they got the same message.

"All sharing functionality on FileSonic is now disabled. Our service can only be used to upload and retrieve files that you have uploaded personally.

If this file belongs to you, please login to download it directly from your file manager."

Wow click any filesonic link online. I get that message


"All sharing functionality on FileSonic is now disabled. Our service can only be used to upload and retrieve files that you have uploaded personally."

Now if only oron would get cold feet.

I just noticed this a few minutes ago - you beat me to it ;)

Pussies.

This is fantastic!

No Giddiness, No Glory ...

No GideonGallblader either........

Here is another interesting quote from the same source..

"here is what i know i work for the feds . but dont hold that against me they are going to try and start shutting down all file sharing sites i here through the jungle drums that file sonic is next !! and then orion . any one of these that has main stream movies or music is a target at this point mega is a test case if it flys through the courts the rest will fall !!"

Wow. I had thought it would never happen.

This is actually a bigger deal for adult than Megaupload. Filesonic was huge.

Pornrip.org and countless sites down for now, unless until they can figure something else out.

so where do i download my porn now? oh, there is still russian oron, there it will be shutdown only if another cold war will be coming

This is great. I see hornyblog.org got nervous as well and changed all posts to only point to Videoz affiliate program. Before they had 4-5 mirror links for every video posts.

For fucks sake... Cannot believe it... But yes, it looks like filesonic links are all dead now.

someone is busy deleting mails and shredding every piece of paper while booking flights

The best part is they're probably already in the DOJs sights if they have a single server in the US.

They better enjoy their illgotten gains while they can and never travel to a country where the US can pick them up.

Yep looks like it. Pornorips.com links are all dead too as they were all filesonic, no backup/mirror links.

Believe it or not but my sales are going fantastic for the last few days... Filesonic was my biggest headache lately. I smile...

Their servers are in Haarlem, Netherlands, and we all know how the FBI dealt with the MegaUpload servers in that same LeaseWeb datacenter. Please post the address of that Russian Oron owner. Thanks.

SOPA would have cut off their DNS.

So if these sites stay down then I expect we will see SOPA in the news again because
law makers will see that foreign sites are the only ones still getting away with it.

SOPA only cuts off DNS of foreign sites (even though idiots who can't read kept saying it would cut off facebook and youtube).

Back to the drawing board for those assholes. :boid

They are related to Wupload which is still up for now.

Filesonic is a good sized one. Very popular on the pirate boards.

There may be some light at the end of the tunnel yet.

Wupload closed their affiliate program 2 months ago and is dropping like a rock in terms of traffic (check Alexa). Almost no new material is getting posted there recently, they only capitalize on archives. Filesonic was much more dangerous, until 30 minutes ago.

big jump in members coming for whichever service has the biggest balls.

So you would agree with me if I would say that the Wikileaks owners are idiots too for putting their site on black? People need to stop confusing "freedom of speech" with copyright violation. Then on the other hand, the danger of something like SOPA is that it could be used for blocking legit porn sites. Piracy should be dealt with at the source, even if that means taking servers down in Russia. If the Russian authoritities wouldn't want to co-operate on that, cut off Russia from the internet completely. Image what the Russians would do if they owned 95% of the global movie industry and Americans were infringing their copyrights. People need to accept that internet is part of the real world with its real laws, these laws should apply for every little corner of the internet as well.

Shit, I just went premium like 2 days ago. :1orglaugh Ticket fucking submitted.

Still, the $10 was cheaper than buying an OS X Leopard disc and faster than torrents... got a good few movies out of it too.

Gotta get me an RS membership and grab Snow Leopard and Lion before it's too late.

Hopefully FSC will be back in a few months after relocating all their shit to Burma. :1orglaugh

honestly never thought i'd see this - please US GOV keep the heat on, piracy will never be eradicated on the margins of the web but these huge pirate operations can be put on the run. hoping the feds have paid a visit to Paypal's headquarters and strongly suggested they need to keep their greedy hands out of the piracy industry. without Paypal and VISA/MC it would be a severely crippled industry.

would be nice to see a tube site get the same treatment.

As expected :thumbsup

Well....thank god we have The Pirate Bay! :upsidedow I'm glad it's affecting other filesharing websites though, because those places are the ones with huge amounts of porn on them.

everything has two sides. filesharing and OCH's was a very good idea. until some idiot craps start to make money with copyright violations. at the end, thats now, no one has anything. I think OCH's is gone, times changes.
SOPA is good, shure for copyright holders like us. but it can make problems too. maybe is time to thinkin' different.

This is great... look at all the uploaders crying over at wjunction !!

long live torrents :)

Like I said, most will fold up once they become aware of the jail time they are looking at :2 cents:

damn thats 2 of my paid accounts gone.

premium filesonic, and premium megaupload.

oron is the only paid service that still works

Their nightmare will begin when the government turns over all the affiliates to RIAA and the MPAA.

They will all be familiar with the word bankruptcy:1orglaugh

Things are looking up :)

go go go go :thumbsup

waiting for some porn host to close... +oron
Then we must be aware that it doesn't go too far...

We are probably the next on the list that they want to close.

That is the funny part of all of this.

Why isn't PayPal being investigated?

It's not like they don't know what these clients are up to.

service was crap anyway

Fileserve is still up atm.

There's still plenty of forums, tubes available with all you can eat pirated porn!

FileJungle now capping non-premium downloads at 50mb.

wtf??? i bought the 2 months plan :S

Fileserve is still up, but they shut down their affiliate/upload program. Lots of them deleted their files yesterday when they shut down the affiliate part of the site. Today fileserve terminated all their accounts so they couldn't log in anymore to delete things it seems.

Seems its all a fluid situation but there are rumors that Oron is about to terminate their program as well. We shall see.

Why do people in this thread, who are supposedly in the adult internet business...have fucking memberships to goddamn pirate sites?

Fucking unreal. :(

most of the ones who support these I notice are new webmasters, not used to buy content... they think Internet is for free

Should be an interesting next few months. I wonder how many will chicken out before DOJ starts picking there targets.

I'm sure both the processors like Paypal and even more so the hosts (fucking leaseweb) are watching this situation closely and and reviewing their policies. Right now, if you sent a complaint about a specific site to Paypal and CCed DOJ I bet Paypal would shut off the account.

well like anything, when certain hosts abandon their service their customers flee to other hosts. I'm sure some of them are going to try to ride it out as long as they can because that means epic cash.

Just look at hotfile, they never responded to dmca until it became shitcan crazy. They got slammed pretty hard with some lawsuits for site rips. You can see the trend.

By that time they had so much money that they started deleting everything and then no one complained anymore. They were so popular that many people were too stupid to know any better and kept using them.
It was simply business.

I'm looking forward to seeing how this all works out though.

yes indeedy :helpme :helpme :helpme
