If like me, you lurk on the forums where File sharing Reps for these companies post - you'll see their promotions and the alarming amount of people asking any company that they want to start using "Can I upload **insert infringing content** to get my pay ratio increased? "
And the Rep of the Cyberlocker hosting company will always say "Upload what you wants as long as its not CP, Scat etc" - then they'll also add ....... "make sure you own it" - followed by a winky emoticon.
Its funny to see the Reps say "for those wishing to increase sales, upload in-demand video - like a video from your holiday for example" - like anyone is getting 1000 downloads off a Disneyland vacation video. Most of the posters put the sites they run in their sig and NONE of them have anything legitimate on them.
These douche Cyberlocker companies know exactly what they're asking uploaders to do, the uploaders know it too and have no issue uploading what they dont own so they can earn a few dollars for 1000 or so downloads. Most aren't earning anything because they cant achieve the download ratio and even if they did.....they cant reach the minimum payout but, the material is still out there (and the Cyberlocker has earned something from that uploaders memberships, even if the uploader hasn't reached min payment).
One even had the nerve to tell me "We too are victims of that uploaders crimes, have you tried visiting them if you know who they are ? Also we can't find their account so we aren't able to remove the master files. "
If it were possible to make a decent income from it, id pay affiliates per 1000 links removed - who knows, maybe it is.
