Piracy is growing daily. Shutting down websites has not and will not help anything. That mainstream board you hate, guess what the top 10 affiliate programs are over there? File hosting that pays per download. There is one thread with 9,000 replies and hundreds of thousands of views compared to the 40 views a normal business thread gets.

These fucks upload movies, list them on their movie sites and get paid for the number of downloads. They upload gigs and gigs and gigs and gigs of shit at a time and the filehost helps them out with fast connections and the tools to do so. With this setup the file host is absolutely not responsible for the content of the files, it's not even close to being against the law. As long as they follow DMCA (USA) they will not die.

This also offsets the big piracy to thousands of little fuckhead Indians and other foreigners from broke shitholes that just don't care. Since these people already have their sites up it takes them a collective few minutes to change all the links and make a new file host the go to choice. They already do this when one pays better, they can do it when one gets closed.
