Throughout this whole thread you have not been able to clearly debate your position and you have resorted to distortions of the truth to further your stance against this project.

You've said we target legitimate sites. We don't.

You've complained that we have shut off payment processing for infringing image hosts.

You've claimed sites were legitimate when they weren't.

Your attitude through this thread has been the same, you won't clearly state your position on any matter, you simply pick through portions of the thread complaining that this or that is happening without presenting an alternative viewpoint.

The only people threatened by our work are those benefiting from piracy, you described our project as a threat. If you mean't something else then explain it.
I never vouched for any site and said it was legitimate. What I have done is questioned your classification on whether a site was legitimate. There was the link shortening site, which, never appeared to be doing anything wrong and might have had rogue affiliates (don't we all?). To me, it looked above the board but then again I never bothered to follow the paper trail.

I've always said my position on piracy. I am against it. I challenge you to find an instance of me saying I support or condone piracy, such as you claim I do.

Did I describe your project as a threat? Maybe I defined the file lockers as a threat...or maybe it was the tube sites. If you take the time to re-read my post I never said your project was a threat. I never made any reference to what the threat is/was other than there being a threat.

Finally, I distinctly remember calling someone out. It was a guy who ran two sites. One was a file locker and the other was a paypal type site. He swore up and down that he didn't have an affiliate program. It was a different way of doing things but what he did have was essentially an affiliate program...just not your standard time. I told him he deserved to lose his processing on the paypal like site. It's amazing how soon your forget that. Might as well add selective memory along with your selective reading.

I suggest you re-check your facts and my words before you come here and try to make me out to be something I'm not.

Fact is, You're on your high horse. Am I going to question those things I mentioned originally? Absolutely. Does that make me pro-piracy? Absolutely not. An informed person will question things, even those he might believe in, to either prove or disprove his belief in what it is he is questioning. It's unfortunate you're not enlightened enough to grasp that concept.
