And/or any other entity I should cc when sending a DMCA to these "gentlemen"?

Kaktuz has been very busy trying to hide everything since we connected all the dots on him several months back.

Ultramegabit.com however IS hosted by Choopa and Choopa don't give a damn.

I support your wonderful cause but i wanted to inquire if suppose a File Locker obeys all the DMCA ie replies to all the DMCA notices will you still go after it ?

If you pay uploaders then you are incentivising the sharing of copyright infringing files. People aren't going to get thousands of downloads of their kids birthday party video, they're going to upload popular content such as the latest movies, or the best porn.

If you incentivise the sharing of copyright infringing content without the right to do so (i.e.: licensing) then you're going to find yourself in difficulty.

When you share such information publicly you're just helping the pirates get better at covering their tracks. Why do you think so many people try and goad us into telling them more about what we do and how we do it ? They are desperate to know how we know what they are doing and how better to cover their tracks.

The IP's and fake sign up names are just two sets of data out of hundreds of sets of data that can be used to follow lazy pirates, when they keep using the same IP or sign up names they are giving us a way to track them. Publicly sharing this and other information just helps them get better at avoiding detection.

The most constructive thing anyone can do to help in this effort is keep supplying copies of DMCA notices to [email protected] , to keep submitting piracy reports at http://copycontrol.org/report-piracy or to make a donation via Paxum or Paypal to [email protected]

Nobody has been as effective at hurting the pirates than us, we continue to crush their financial accounts and monetization methods bit by bit, it's much harder to monetize file lockers in 2013 than it was in 2012 or 2011, or earlier. We've moved on to other forms of piracy that fit into the eco system as we seek to further reduce the effectiveness of the pirates and their networks. However to keep doing this we have to keep the pirates on the back foot.

Please don't hurt our efforts by engaging in public information sharing of the various vectors and data that helps us do what we do. We can only continue to be successful by keeping the pirates guessing, keeping them in the dark until they wake up one day and find another merchant account or Paypal account shut down.

Also, the notices which you have mentioned are just one tiny little part of the entire legislation.

I find it amazing that dumb, stupid webmasters think they satisfy the requirements of the whole act by simply accepting and responding to one of the various forms and notices proscribed in the legislation.

You can read a summary of the legislation here: http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf

However to be fully compliant you're going to need lawyers to provide advice on the various things that you need to do in order to be compliant.

It's also worth noting that where you operate in a jurisdiction other than the USA you will also need to comply with local legislation which will usually included observing the various agreements and treaties entered into by your principal government.

But then I suppose this is the new commercial reality.

If a site ticks all the boxes correctly on the due diligence then they get an account. The sums involved are to large to ignore.

However, my personal opinion is that Mega should not have Paypal.

Are you guys trying to kill all file hosting websites in general? If so that is simply stupid. There is a need for file hosting services like mega, dropbox, and google drive.

It's the services that offer incentives and don't respond to DMCA that should be looked at.

Mega is not of the same ilk as these services.

You upload files to both services and then you share the files.

How long has he been trying this? Anyone see any impact on sales because of it? I've not seen any case studies.

1. A large number of potentially illegal files.
2. The refusal to block (as they originally promised) search results from Mega-Search.me and other file search engines.
3. They have not demonstrated the same commitment to combating copyright infringement than is demonstrated by other legitimate cloud hosting services.
4. The only difference between them selling access to copyright content and not is the amount of free downloads available to non members of the site, Kim Dotcom can reduce the threshold at any time and then you will have MegaUpload MkII

There are other issues also that I will not discuss publicly as we do not wish to provide Mega with insight into how we will combat them.




In the past twelve months the number of file lockers accepting Paypal has gone from hundreds to just a few.

You have remarked yourself that the Epoch Paypal trial has produced some impressive sales numbers from Paypal, cutting off that source of income has mortally wounded most file lockers and leaves others dying.

Yes a person has to be in touch with the lawyers in order to learn and comply with the rules and regulations regarding the copyright laws of the country if not in the US
So in the end according to me you are trying to say its not just about answering to the DMCA the main thing is that u need to make sure that content doesn't get uploaded again and currently nowadays if a particular file is deleted it can be re-uploaded again and thats the problem that you are facing and thats is to why you are killing of the filelockers :)

Most everyone online will say more then they should if you let them talk long enough.

RapidGator is complying with the DMCA's but they take almost a week to pull them down so the content is piling up faster than it's being removed.

Has anyone taken legal action against file lockers for not removing users like this one in particular? They are acknowledging that he doesn't have consent to upload the content yet they allow him to upload about 10 of my videos each day. He goes by the username PIMP20 and has uploaded literally tens of thousands of stolen videos to various lockers. I'm sure it's quite a little enterprise for him.
