Many file lockers run a thin veil over their service by doing cheesy success stories.
One example involved filesonice, right before they shut down they showed an artist who had success sharing his artwork via filesonic.

Understanding the ecosystem takes a little bit of an education, more than the average citizen is willing to spend time on. In all cases I've talked to people even lightly about it they were completely confused. It's the reason it's so easy to brainwash the citizens on why SOPA and PIPA were so bad (as radical as they were). Instead AK is laying in place
taking effective measures to kill off rogue merchant accounts with companies rather than just whimsy court orders getting executed and having people scream over destruction of internet freedom.
If good practices are setup and maintained with billing and merchant services companies then new laws may not be necessary.
A business model could be made of helping companies maintain this with someone like AK.

No its not me but your buddies (uploaders and hosts) who're making things difficult, because they're stealing from us and from many other creative industries as we speak and are not intent on changing their ways in the least bit. I checked the list of your "sponsors" again and there doesn't seem to be a single one for which my scanner wouldn't find 1000s of examples of blatant infringements in just under 30 minutes.

But of course you can always prove me wrong by providing an alternate version of what those uploaders who visit your site actually upload (grandma birthday party vids maybe?), or maybe they're not uploaders at all because you said I'm playing with words. Who're they then? You can also provide us with your own version of what do you think your "sponsors" do for a living - if there's any evidence they're not who we think they are (scambag thieves using legal loopholes to fill their pockets with profits from the permissionless distribution of copyrighted works), you're welcome to post it.

The filelocker that is currently for sale was doing 20.000 euro/month? The average producer makes much more than that. There are so many filelockers now and they all have to eat from the same little pie, and that pie is being fed by people who don't want to pay for anything, that's why they download from filelockers in the first place.

Which is why there are so few producers left. Guys that used to make 20-30 k a month now make mere thousands.
The hard working and agressive make still clear 20-30 but have to work much much harder.

I'd like to pin every one of their motherfucking heads to a wall and secure them with nail guns. Uploader biz can EAT SHIT.

Yes I agree, the small producers were and still get destroyed first. Those are usually also the ones producing for small niches that make the porn landscape interesting. Also I'm talking "sales", not "profit", I think a producer has much more costs than a filelocker has so in that respect filelockers may be making more profit than the smaller producers. There's a lot of interesting reads to be found on sites about indy film makers get affected by piracy, maybe they are more open about their problems and the media is more interested in indy film makers than in pornographers probably. Small indy film makers get destroyed, investing all their private capital in a new movie, which is uploaded to Pirate Bay and Mega directly after its release.

Hi Robbie,

If I were representing an organization seeking donations I would always care about the public perception of both the organization and myself as a representative of it.

I am sure by your tone and statements you do not care what others think though, only the contents of your bank account or billfold, sorry if it offends you but there are cash whores in all types of business these days.

You sound like the uploader/cash whores when they come up on the short end of a dollar, are you going to wish the plague, burbies, slurpies, and the creeping crud on them next also? None of that is going to stop your content from being trashed around on the internet.

Do something about the issue, support a not for profit anti-piracy group or hire a rep that actually works for you and protects your content. Invest in new technologies that hinders or prevents ripping of your digital media, if all else fails find another distribution method or industry to work in, lots of people are being retrained for new careers these days.

I understand the frustration of having your intellectual property stolen or devalued through unauthorized distribution, I won't say how but I do. Just keep in mind the same laws that protect your content and make for a civilized society prohibit your desired form of justice. There are other ways to combat it, some more effective then others. If what you are doing now is not working for you it is time to find something that will.

Sorry for the rant Robbie, but if you are not helping the cause you should sit back and let others that are instead. You do not know me or what/whom I bring to the table, if you do not give something a try you never know if it would work out.

I am not their business managers or accountants, I have no real knowledge of their earnings amounts. I do not ask for business records or financial statements when selling advertiser space, do you? I have rates, people pay me for space, that is how I conduct my business.

Do you tell your advertisers or clients how to operate their businesses? I do not, we do have criteria and requirements and do not sell space to or suspend/terminate those not meeting that criteria or requirements (i.e. UltraMegaBit).

I hope that gives you a better understanding of the situation.

You are more then welcome to submit any other questions through our contact us form in the footer of the site or register on the site and post or use our pm system.

Hopefully at some point we can get past all this posturing and do some real work that benefits something other then egos and the butthurt masses.

Adultking needs to get a real job.

yep, and I've been in this business a long time...and for all I know you are another clown pretending to be "somebody" that you're not.

Tell me who you are then. That's pretty easy. I have zero respect for anybody on an adult business board who is too afraid to even say who they are.

Tell me...then I'll find out if you're just another clown or not in about 5 seconds. Or you can hide and say you can't reveal your identity and I instantly put you on "ignore" where you belong.

All that "secretive" horseshit got old about 10 years ago.

The Pirate Bay Now Accepts Bitcoin Donations:

http://torrentfreak.com/the-pirate-b...ations-130423/
http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/...oin-pirate-bay

Thus far the silent donation drive appears to be a great success. In just over a day... $700: http://blockchain.info/address/1Kqzb...VjBux35?sort=0

Update: EZTV (and ezRSS) has also added Bitcoin donations. A trend is emerging.

Update: Standalone trackers OpenBittorrent, PublicBitTorrent and istole have added a Bitcoin address as well. Torrent storage caches Zoink and Torrage have joined in as well.

Kim Dotcom's web storage service, Mega, has been accepting payment in BTC since mid February.

It was bound to happen and now watch all the new file lockers and other piracy sites pop up with bitcoin payments. Its one never ending circle and will just keep on evolving Something else which I am now seeing more and more of is video cloud storage where u can watch new pirated movie releases. The very second day Oblivian came out you could stream or download it on a video cloud storage site which has 1000s of both manstream and adult videos on it all linking to diff video cloud storage sites.

Robbie,


Put me on ignore please, you have 0 need to know anything about me.

If bitcoins become popular they will end the already dying "adult industry"

Bitcoins is just a logic development that can't be stopped and can work for legit producers as well. No more charge-backs, no more bankers censoring your content. I really think this is just a matter of adapting. Just accept bitcoins as well.

Speaking of BlockChain, is that supposed to show every bitcoin account, or just those who have an account with BlockChain? I was under the impression it did them all but some accounts are showing zero.

idiot, if bitcoins become a real form of payment, that means the only way of attacking pirate sites, or file lockers, would be with their hosting companies...

if bitcoin say, became as popular as paypal or creditcards for online purchases, a file locker's only concern would be setting up hosting somewhere where dmca is not important, and they'll host your shit all day long

of course you don't run any sites and don't make any money so you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about...

"Just accept bitcoins as well" fucking idiot...

Accepting bitcoins as payment won't stop us shutting down hosting, having servers seized and domains seized. It also won't prevent file locker operators and pirates from being prosecuted and potentially going to jail.

i read 2k Euros a day

most of those people are not supporting anything like public service

they are too greedy and too irrogant to everything what doesn't hit them directly.

UKash seem to be indifferent to the use of their payment service for the purchase of memberships which allow people to download copyright infringing, illegal content, bestiality and child pornography.

In fact, when contacted about the use of UKash to facilitate such transactions the response was pretty much 'we don't care'

So, we've got some special treatment being prepared for UKash, I don't think they'll like it.

Bankers can close accounts of who exchange bitcoins:
https://gfy.com/showpost.php?p=19595099&postcount=17

The bitcoins transactions are public. The blockchain is a 6gb file that you download in your hd too, via bitcoin program after sync, and it contains all the transactions history from bitcoin is born up to last block (one block every around 10 minutes).

This is the piratebay address/id in 3 different sites who let read the blockchain:
https://blockchain.info/address/1Kqz...Mqzvf27VjBux35
https://coinbase.com/network/address...Mqzvf27VjBux35
http://blockexplorer.com/address/1Kq...Mqzvf27VjBux35

If you have the blockchain in your hd you can read it with other tools. Bitcoins it is NOT anonymous. Bitcoins it is "pseudonymous". If you use the same address/id always like piratebay above, everyone can know the total bitcoins they got, and from what id's. In fact a bank wire it is more secret, as it is not public :)
To make things more "pseudonymous" you should 1) not publish anywhere your address/id's unlike thepiratebay done and 2) create a new address/id for each transaction you want to receive (most people do this.. each time you ask a payment, you give a different id really).

It seems the tenacity of this campaign is really starting to pay off. This is probably only scratching the surface. :thumbsup

Awww...the poor thief... I wonder if shitstains like him can even do anything but run a site that requires NOTHING but a script running on auto-pilot.

A talentless, worthless piece of shit making money off the people who CAN create things. Disgusting.

To "FileMates" : burn in hell faggot.

That's too bad... I use Ukash for pokerstars and have used them for video game/etc downloads before... but if that's their sentiments then fuck'em

I hope he loses everything. Housing, income, possessions...EVERYTHING

:GFYBand

And so "Papa Mates" has thrown in the white flag. After defiantly flying the Merry Roger for 16 weeks.
Good riddance.

Good to hear that.

Any luck with removing content from clipshouse? They don't answer or react to DMCA notices.

same goes for mountfile.net ...

You need to pay your bills, stop scamming people and have your ass whooped.

Blasphemy!
You're not expelled from the Temple of Innovators Robbie.

On second thought you are right.

These pirate sites with their autopilot software and no actual work ever done on the site and monetizing stolen content are truly innovative and creative.

Unfortunately this site is not a priority for us at the moment. If you have increasing concerns about the sites ensure that we are receiving copies of DMCA notices to [email protected] - if you have specific concerns beyond that please provide contact details in the thread and I'll arrange a meeting with you.

This site is under review at the moment, however we do not have enough evidence gathered yet, are you sending copies of all DMCA's to [email protected]

We prioritise sites based upon both severity and our opportunity to act against them. We are constantly looking at vulnerabilities of these sites and hit when it's going to hurt them the most and there is the least chance of recovery.

Who's going to deny an actual source. 100TB? That's 50-100 server fillings a day of content!!! Jeez

Here's a semi gaffee, let rapidgator tell you how much some of their most productive uploaders do in a day. Ever wonder?

Source: http://rapidgator.net/News/NewsList

That's probably more data than even the most prolific producers on here can hope to make in a lifetime I bet. These are guys running remote servers all over the world and then using them strategically to upload to file lockers and let them assume the liability of copyright infringment.

Can you still deny this is a problem?

I don't know about you but I don't have 100TB of family photos and videos lying around...

FUUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKKK!!!!!! :(

I made a thread about this post: https://gfy.com/showthread.php?t=1107706
too important to ignore.

Oops
 

That's funny. Storing passwords in plain-text, talking about innovation and creativity...

Oops

Oh snap. You told him to fix that weeks ago, and he still hasn't?

He hasn't. I guess he was still too busy kissing AdultKing's ass.

Hey Cory how is Jami?

That is an ancient password file. I have no idea where you are even finding that. lol And it's not even complete. I have multiple members areas for Claudia Marie for different billers.

That one password file that goes to my smallest members areas that you keep talking about has currently 983 members on it. I doubt very seriously that any of the 598 user/pass on that old list still work.
And I'm trying to figure out where you could have ever found a plain text password file. You obviously did. But I can't for the life of me remember all those years back why we would have ever had such a thing?

We've always had encrypted passwords on the server. That's just standard operating procedure.

Maybe you could enlighten me on that?

Also...I'd like to point out that creativity and innovation doesn't have anything to do with passwords. You're such a fucking geek that you think that hacking stuff is "innovative" and "creative".

No, it's not. Being creative means CREATING something.

Anyway...you're clever...in a Poindexter kind of nerd way. But not 1/10 as smart as you think you are.

I'm amazed at people who think the way you do.

weekend bump

So you think Bitcoins are a bad development for the Adult Industry. If that is true, then how are you going to stop this development?

Very interesting read, thanks. I agree that the governments will do anything to stop Bitcoins and not because they are afraid for illegal activities or money laundring, the main reason will be because they don't want to miss out on any tax incomes. So governments of countries that have low taxes like for example Malta won't have a problem with Bitcoins, it will only help them to get more money streams.

Hey again AK,

Just decided to let you know I've made WJunction's information all public and you're welcome to download a copy for your records.

You may find the information on twitter @CashWhore

This is all unedited so have fun with the filehost information. :)


Hoping you're well. :)


Regards

Thanks but no thanks.

We'll continue to use legal means to obtain information that we need and we have already sufficient regarding WJunction to move ahead with our plans for them.

Talked to my guy that does DMCA notices and he says he does cc copycontrol on all notices including mountfile...

I'll review the stats on mountfile and see what we come up with.
