I am still doing this on my own dime and my own effort.
We also have people who have contributed time and money voluntarily.
There is a core group of people working behind the scenes, around the clock, shutting down piracy and every week Nautilus posts more sites terminated or completely offline as a result.
Why should I bear the entire cost of shutting down the piracy problem affecting rights holders ?

Yeah, I didn't like it and don't think this is a solution to a problem, but at least you were clear, and everything was straightforward. But when I saw that you've targeted PayPal accounts of various hosts but excluded Crocko and Hotfile and then you turned this into a money making enterprise and started to aggressively advertise it, questions sure popped up right away and I think (and I don't think I'm alone) since you are taking money from content producers and having them sign their rights to you, you should be able to clearly respond to those.

No we haven't excluded Crocko or Hotfile. To say that we have is untrue.
We are not making money, we set fees for represented rights holders to help us recover costs but we're a long way from recovering the costs of this campaign.
I have contributed more than anyone to this project and you have no right to question anything as you are not a contributor and you are not in our constituency.

Let me do this in orderly fashion:
1. FilePost. This is what you've said before: gfy.com/showpost.php?p=19052337&postcount=1176
So, what is the update on this? All I can see is that Filepost is operating exactly as they were. They have a hidden affiliate program which is an elegant solution previously employed by late FileSonic (ownership? ties?), here: filepost.com/blog/post/82/
Did you advice them to present it like this? Your negotiations with them, what was the result?
It didn't take me long to find one: porn-w.org/topic4975004.html

FilePost are a current target of operations and we don't discuss operational matters.

2. Crocko. You said that you are going to fight hosts with affiliate programs especially aggressively. You keep saying that "Crocko is in the works" yet somehow it is hard to believe. I just can't believe that a much larger host like Depositfiles lost their PayPal and Crocko still stands? This either proves that you either can't do shit to no one unless other parties want it or that you are being paid off by Crocko to leave them alone or even help them.

3. Hotfile. You keep saying that Hotfile is in front of courts and there is no point in chasing them? What a load of crap. Hotfile was created by ex Tube8 owner (we know who owns it now), Hotfile started this whole thing you are fighting against. They have PayPal and an open affiliate program. So what is they are facing legal woes? They are making truckloads of money to pay for top attorneys. Why not cut their PayPal and let them die in court?
|
HotFile is the subject of an ongoing legal action, once that legal action is complete we will re-assess the situation.

You can talk tough all you want and certain people may carry you and your high horse in the light of fame but all the big players are still around, working as usual (may be with little issues) and some are doing BETTER than ever.

And this is why we need more rights holders to come on board and be represented by us, however you will peddle your lies and untruths as much as you can in the hope that you can stop or derail our efforts. It won't work.

There is no hidden agenda, no conspiracy, nothing untoward is going on.
Let me make this patently clear. Right at this moment we are going after file lockers, we have just started going after forums, then we will move on to torrent trackers, blogs, tubes and other forms of commercial piracy.

Ok here's a challenge, email us at
[email protected] and tell us who you are and what content you own, I'll get you represented for just $1.00 for the first year and then when we start targeting torrent trackers we will be able to begin to mitigate your piracy problem.
You people can sit on the sidelines booing our efforts all you like, it's not going to stop what we are doing and just makes me more determined to crush commercial piracy where-ever we can.
