"Further to that, it may surprise you that professionally I have many good connections, many relating to the "old school tie" of the private school I was educated at."
LOL - I can't take you seriously after that - sorry !
These paypal/visa officials just happen to be members of your old school boy network??? sadly you alone ended up at the bottom of the social ladder whilst they hold now positions of incredible power that you will wield at will?
Everyone knows these filelockers can have any content on them that have been user uploaded as long as they remove it within 72 hours of notification there is going to be no problem for them at all. Yes, in the case of CP they need to take drastic action and report these kinds of things to the authorities.
Even then when the file lockers are gone, that will make about 5% difference max to sales whilst the large tubes exist.
If you are now claiming that a senior paypal official is discussing other peoples businesses with you (essentially a nobody except in your mind) i think that will damage paypals credibility far more than any of these filelockers.
So after your months of planning --- what have we here? Nothing.
There is no big win since you have displayed nothing new, don't you think everyone who sends dmca to paypal sends a printscreen?? It's not paypal don't believe you that this shit exists on these sites, it's the fact that it does not matter as long as the locker removes within 72 hours of notification. If you can prove they uploaded or directly encouraged uploading of know illegal files or have not removed after notification then yes this could probably help.
Also where are the main culprits on your list the filelockers that have more than 1 visitor per year?? try alexa to find some large ones that will make some kind of difference. Why all these little tiny sites ?? where are the whales on there with millions of visitors??
I'm all for getting sales back to a decent level, however don't get any false hope that the total destruction of all filelockers will make much difference. Tubes alone killed porn sales its as simple as that. People who use these torrents/filelockers will never join porn sites.
Megaupload died - i noticed NOTHING i mean not even 1% movement in traffic or sales.
When one of the larger tubes sites went down for a few days traffic went up over 30% to my sites alone and sales in line with that too. That was just for a few days.
If you want to be a hero, use your private old school tie network of power to do something useful for us all....TUBES
