News from an austrian site: Uploaded.to also has taken drastic measures: access for Americans to file-sharing service is now no longer available. However, there are file-sharing services that are not afraid of persecution by the American authorities. Derek Labian, CEO of Media Fire told VentureBeat that he doesn't fear the authorities, since their "business model not based on copyright infringement." More likely would be similar to Dropbox or Box.net.

i was only kidding about being a member if anyone was referring to me :)

He did have a pretty good looking gf (of course).

to share files,

You genius do realize that tubes have low quality and bad organized shit right? While filesharing services are full of HD stuff, gonzo as well as high value productions new and old? Cheap surfers will jack of to tubes as they usually do, but file sharing services attracted even those who seek quality and were wiling to pay for it - those buyers we might get back now.

Damn good point.

Filesharing was great cause you could get a ton for cheaper than buying each seperately.

So yeah, why join one paysite when you can have them all as filesharing gave you.

Speaking only in theory as I dont belong to any filesharing sites.

But stands to reason lots of 40 and 50 y/o previous buyers of porn did have memberships.

and many filesharing sites had/have full siterips too...

They're dropping like flies! Fileserve just disabled their sharing as well, I also heard hotfile is next!

I haven't heard anything about oron though, unfortunately, there isn't much music or movies uploaded to their service. It's mostly porn.

hope they deleted their logs and database already, otherwise another thousands of poor uploaders getting sued in near future

No shit.

So does one make the other one right?

Oops, image I posted above is already down on oron.

Hmm Anti American, GFY Forum Filter? It was working. Rotating code maybe.

:)

Do you think they care about the uploaders? :)

I was thinking the same when the anti sopa threads were posted... :upsidedow



So pleased with news of filesonic.. here's to tubes next :thumbsup

more success is better that is sure. oh yeah i got it now, you mean if filesharing servers care about uploaders :) sure not, they will bring them on the plate to get their asses free

Puts things into perspective doesn't it?

And we wonder why the industry is in the state it's in. :upsidedow


That's why NOW is the time to be DMCAing your ass off and making sure Paypal gets a copy.

Sweep the leg.

it is enough for me

looks like the are all scurrying like rats back into the rathole :)

I think bigger things are coming their way.

if we learned anything burning witches got us nowhere.

Ive seen people say torrent technology is bad,.. And its only because it was used to download porn... Umm electronic arts and many legit services use the technology. If it was up to pornographers they would witchburn us into ignorance over downloaded videos.

I know it sucks to have yor shit stolen...ive had mine stolen and resold but I dont hate torrents... Itslike because you guys couldnt stop tubes you want to stop all legit file sharing now lol

Yep: "Uploaded.to is no longer available for use in the U.S."

None of the file lockers ever bought my content - several tube sites while going legit did though.

And: i have submitted promotional videos to tube sites and made sales from them - which even rebilled several times.

so if you ask me what i prefer...

:2 cents:

SOPA failed the intentions were right but the powers were WAY beyond reasonable.
There is a need both in mainstream and adult to stop the file sharing and this is for once Adult is going to benefit from mainstream and not the other way around.

Megaupload showed that its still possible to take down file sharing sites under the current laws and it have other sites getting very scared, I laugh when I see them limit access for some countries but it won't help them.

I like the Dutch guy Euker or whats his name trying to take down LeaseWeb they are one of the biggest bad guys, Mega had 600+ servers with them, he have posted proof they have the bad thing, porn and a shit load of other stuff there that illegal and they don't care. LeaseWeb don't give a fuck about anything but their bottom line.
Taking down LeaseWeb will be big, do a search how my torrent sites are hosted there! If you are a player help take down LeaseWeb.

Because we're thieving, hypocritical, selfish assholes.

I should start wearing a suit and asking people to vote for me. :1orglaugh

you are very wrong my friend...you would be surprised at how easy the russians cooperate for a little $$...never doubt in this just take it at face value...

Good luck on that. They follow Dutch law to my understanding, and they have the deep pockets to fight it legally if they wanted. I am not saying their business model is right or wrong, but they are located in the Netherlands, and simply capitalize on Dutch laws or loopholes.

:2 cents:

Mininova was Dutch based and we got them closed down. You probably won't shut down Leaseweb itself but you can shutdown trackers that host their.

ya dont pay for them, forgot i have bayfiles as well.

Uploading.com and crocko.com closed their affiliate programs too.

Why bother with this scary SOPA thing, if current laws can be used to stop sites like Megaupload?

Uploading still looks like it is up. I've had content I've been trying to get removed there for two weeks now. I tried to send them DMCA but their DMCA submit form is broken (intentionally?) and Paypal are severely dragging their feet in their "investigation". At one point last week Paypal told me all links have been removed, yet, I clicked on all the same links in the email I sent them and every single one still worked. Been waiting days for them to get back to me again.

It's only their affiliate program that is closed, meaning much less new uploads in the future but all the old links are up and running, at least for now.

And yes they're one of the worst when it comes to handling DMCA take down requests. I send all uploading.com links to RYC because they wouldn't respond to our regular DMCAs (RYC can take those links down).

Filepost affiliate program is closed too.

never heard of filesonic or oron

Best news in a while! The domino effect is working.

You make that up yourself, just like the owners of Wikipedia. "us guys" want to stop sharing of the intellectual properties of others. Nobody has anything against people sharing their own art, made by themselves.

Practice what you preach, I hear Zombaio is processing credit card payments for piracy sites and that reports of this to your support desk are being ignored.

And legal action against LeaseWeb is in the pipeline, as well as other action, nothing ilegal, just some innocent sharing and publication of private information.

LeaseWeb lost a few law suits regarding torrent sites and claim they are not hosting torrent sites anymore, so reporting torrent sites to them may be enough for them to kick them off (they are not aware of the content of all their servers). See this article, it's in Dutch, use google translate to translate to English:

LeaseWeb fed up with bit torrent sites
