Actually less than half is left. You obviously have no understanding of the file locker eco system. All these "minor" file lockers accounted for huge amounts of infringement, many were specialised in certain types of content and hit smaller niche rights holders very hard.
We have also seen, time and time again, unknown small file lockers become huge problems. It takes no more than a few months for a small file locker to become a massive problem.

Your work has had no impact whatsoever. There is not one less pirate. I doubt there's even one less locker as they just keep building them. Your lists of paypal removals from obscure lockers looks nice every time you post it but in reality nothing has changed. Absolutely nothing.

You can say this one thousand times, it does not make it true. We know for a fact that several large file lockers we have impacted are now failing.
Sites like Netload are scrambling trying to find new payment processing as we keep disrupting their monetization. If they cannot find a stable, reliable form of payment processing then eventually they will run out of cash and server bills will go unpaid.
Others have lost hosting and all of their files due to law enforcement raids and are now struggling to re-establish themselves.
We are also well advanced on other punitive measures to take out some of the larger players, we need to become more representative of rights holders to carry out those measures, which is why we are working to sign up rights holders.

I'm not saying this to attack you or anything. Just wondering wth you are talking about when you say "what's left". Everything is left. You removed maybe 1%. Actually i doubt it's that much.
|
Less than half is left, we have made it almost impossible for new file lockers to start up as we cull them right at the beginning when they are easy to kill off. As for the larger remaining players, read above, it takes time for cashed up sites to run out of money, but running out of money they are.

Tubes have lots of free porn, no doubt about it. Consumers wanting a quick fix can easily surf to a tube site and get satisfied with a wide selection of content. The question, however, is how much of that content is infringing ?

And you forgot about their monetization... All tube sites have premium areas with HD or some other extra features. They are using popular adult payment gateways btw.
|
Can you point to an example of a tube charging for access to pirated content ? If so forward the details to us.

So, it was a bad news you are working with them, thinking they are legal and will not fight against after file sharing sites.

We're not working with tubes, we're not working with any vested interests in content delivery other than copyright rights holders.

Don't protect thiefs. Free distribution doesn't mean "legal". Regarding dmca requests on google - they have another distribution model - no need to post links to video anywhere on the net, anyone can go on tube site and watch what he wants.

We don't protect thieves. The distrubution model has nothing to do with DMCA takedowns. All DMCA takedowns are accompanied by full URL's to identify infringing content.

That is why you can't find any link with your video with google or it's much harder. It's like YouTube, but with stolen content and without detection tools for copyright owners, of course md5 check is not working here, 'cause video can be converted from HD to lower quality with huge amount of settings.

You're demonstrating a complete misunderstanding of how DMCA works, all DMCA requests need to identify the infringing content, URL's to the content are the usual form of this.
Many large tubes use technologies like Vobile and other types of fingerprinting, recently Pink Visual offered to fingerprint content for rights holders for free, I believe the uptake of that offer was quite low.
We will get to the stage where we start taking tubes to task for any infringement on their services however we cannot get there until we have finished off the file lockers project and brought it to a stage where we can easily manage what is left.
Rights holders can help us speed up the process by coming on board, entering into a rights holder representation agreement with us, so we can work to enforce your copyright and bring copyright infringers to task.
