Before this guy set up this site (and the bunch of others he owns), ironically most of the camshow private shows used to turn up on forums, where they could be downloaded from file sharing sites by anyone.
This guy seemed to corner the market by getting cam addicts to share their recorded shows with a privacy option, where only people they friended who were members of the site could see the videos. A whole lot more content got shared among the addicts who obviously share there.
The admin only put videos shared as non-private visible to general surfers. And he also posts those on other sites he owns. Most seem to use same script he pays for. He obviously does that so he gets more videos shared from users than he otherwise would.
Security was not great on the coding and some guys put bypasses to his private video sharing on the net. A bunch of other pirates downloaded all the private videos he had there for a couple years and put them available free on their own sites.
Think he finally must have got the security holes patched some time back. Obviously, all those videos his users think they are sharing privately will sometime end up public. Site owner will probably monetise that option when/if all others are exhausted.
They have tried many ways to take him down over the past 3 or 4 years. Last one I remembered was going after his DNS. Even that admin seemed to think whoever did it had got him. Site was down for about a week or something before he found an alternative solution.
Hopefully, you can take out his last sponsors. Then he'll move back to spyware and selling traffic to people who don't care where it comes from. Lastly, if you ever get that far, he'll squeeze the last pips out of all those hundreds of thousands of private show videos.
Considering the amount of companies/studios/individuals he's pissed off - many in a little wild west countries - I'm kinda surprised noone's paid him a personal visit yet.
Your real problem is google et al. Doesn't matter how many million DMCAs you file, search most any camgirl name and you will find this site or one of its sisters on page 1 in web or image search. That's where he needs crushing most.
But what do google say?
