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?

I never said that any of my old school network worked at Visa or Mastercard. I merely explained that I have a considerable network of people I can call upon.

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.
|
In Paypal's eyes, if there is illegal content on it for one hour it's a target for review. Visa and Mastercard are even more stringent.

Even then when the file lockers are gone, that will make about 5% difference max to sales whilst the large tubes exist.
|
I'm not doing this for sales, I'm doing this because it's the right thing to do and I have been sick and tired of watching this disgusting industry flourish.

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.

Read my blog and decide for yourself, having a Paypal logo on a site which delivers copious amounts of illegal material is worse in Paypal's eyes.

So after your months of planning --- what have we here? Nothing.

Squillion lost their account (they did however create another) but affiliates are complaining no payment
Exabit affiliates are up in arms due to no payments since their account freeze.
I claim both those scalps.

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.

Many of these file lockers do encourage illegal material, look at the sales pitches I have pasted at

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??
|
Different sites are being handled in different ways, there are good reasons why I am not publishing some sites yet. To do so may jeopardize other actions being taken.

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.
|
I don't care, this isn't about sales for me, it's about decency.

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.
|
The moment Megaupload died many of these sites filled some of the void. Have you ever considered your sales are bad because your sites are crap ? Not every missing sale can be put down to piracy you know.

If you want to be a hero, use your private old school tie network of power to do something useful for us all....TUBES

See, I don't want to be a hero, I just want to achieve the decimation of the illegal file locker industry.
If you think you can make a better stab at this than me, feel free to go ahead. I haven't seen you contribute to this fight in any way. I guess it's pretty easy to sit behind a keyboard and rant.
