Nobody is defending tube sites, however you keep questioning why we started with file lockers and you don't like the answer. The file locker eco system is more problematic than tubes, the file locker eco system accounts for a far greater amount of piracy than tubes and the file locker eco system accounts for more take down notices than tubes. Therefore it was the correct place to start.

But wait a minute...I thought I was pro-piracy and involved in file lockers...after all, you and your puppet, DWB, both said that I must be involved since I am questioning actions. Either I am pro-piracy, running file lockers and/or involved in them or I don't have a clue about them. You can't have your cake and eat it too. You keep changing your position and you wonder why I question you.

You keep making assertions in this thread you simply cannot back up.
As you seem to know better than us where the worse piracy lies, why don't you explain to us exactly how you would go about mitigating piracy ?
What would you do differently ? How would you do it ?

So, now you're blaming File lockers for the stolen content on tube sites? Come on, I expected a better argument than that. That statement makes no sense. I mean, sure, people could archive their stolen content on a file locker...but they could archive it more easily on some hdds stored at their house. Not only would it be safer but they wouldn't have to upload it twice, once to a file locker and the other to a tube site.

Our research has shown that the professional pirates will not typically store content on their own computers. There are a number of reasons for this, one being that their Internet connection is much slower than that provided by many one click upload and file locker sites, secondly that some carry out all of their activities at Internet cafes (especially true of many Thai and Indian uploaders) and do not actually store the content themselves.

I will quote DWB. When it looks like a duck and quacks like duck....You cannot accept monies from a company who widely ignores copyright infringements and has a massive amount of stolen content on their properties while accepting donations from them to fight piracy. Technically, It could be said that you are profiting off piracy by accepting money from a company that specializes in piracy. It is what it is.

More fallacious arguments. Firstly we operate independently, nobody dictates to us what to do or what to target. Secondly we don't profit from anything at all, there is no profit, far from it - we are currently operating in deficit.
As for this claimed huge treasure trove of pirate content on tubes, can you explain why tubes only account for around 5% of the DMCA notices that we see, whereas file lockers, forums and torrents account for the bulk of infringements ?
