Who knows. It's a list of email addresses on pastebin, but AK said he will make sure of the feel the fury of his anger.

Ill donate what I pledged by Monday AK. Just don't forget me when I run for the US Senate in 2018.
Cheers
Duke

I'm going to action that now.

Yep, members of a pirate site, lots of them.

Everyone loses when it comes from piracy, even the pirates lose in the long run.

When we find accounts which have been receiving payments from any file lockers it doesn't take long before they're terminated.

I'll try and hit you up on ICQ. The time zones suck.

I've got an announcement coming tomorrow regarding some changes to the structure of our operation that will make us much more effective when it comes to this effort.

Die thread

I go out of town for a bit thinking AK is closing it all down, then come home to hope. Good to see this the campaign will continue.

Any update on the recurring option AK?

If you donate via PayPal you can set a recurring subscription if I am not mistaken.

Perhaps someone can clarify that and maybe post an quick instruction set for those wanting to donate using that method.

AK da man

I have an announcement now.

New Information/Evidence on a person already convicted of criminal piracy in the US once.

Now selling VIP access to Stolen Content and Intellectual Property online.

http://www.cashwhore.net/to0-exposed/

This individual is currently the owner or Admin of a number of Pirate sites and a current staff member of WJunction.

Thats a cool report. I love seeing these guys outed.

To kick of our revival we're going to inflict serious damage on Download No Limit.

Very nice! Any update on the setup of the recurring option?

That would make a significant impact on the eco-system, a large reseller loosing the ability to process payments would hurt.

I follow you on Twitter, I also follow @CashWhore and @NukePiracy

I was thinking that was going to be part of his announcement.

On another note:

I am hearing of a major release of a private pay site CP ring being hacked, data extracted, and site defaced. The rumor is the user and staff emails will be released soon and all data collected has been turned over to LEOs.

Wow what a week. As the browser refreshes!

beer money sent, keep up the good work and bump! :thumbsup have a great weekend everyone! :)

AK do u report CP ?

http://www.asacp.org/ link doesn´t work very well or maybe they are just too busy

they are busy , i guess . i tried reporting many urls previously. and they didnt even replied ...

Somebody who posts on here as a producer got arrested in South America for producing content with scantily dressed girls, September 27th.

that anonymous crew is good in taking those sites down :winkwink: but you have to search good to find their report url :winkwink:

More/New Info on CP site posted here:

http://www.cashwhore.net/depfile-com...-ring-exposed/

There are file and web hosts helping them hide the cashflow.

File Host DepFile is directly involved. That is the tie in to this thread and supports suggestions of other criminal activity by File Hosts.

Thanks. Every bit of help is appreciatd.


This is really interesting intelligence being gathered.

We contacted ASACP last year trying to set up a reporting arrangement with them.... crickets. I don't think the organisation is worth wasting ones time reporting to.

Instead send all reports to the Cyber Tip Line http://www.missingkids.com/cybertipline

http://www.missingkids.com/cybertipline

Good.

There are a number of really good underground hacker networks chasing illegal content and those who share it.

DepFile is one of our worst offenders. People finding links to potentially illegal content on this site should report it here: http://www.missingkids.com/cybertipline

what city and any link to local news if u have please?

What country?

Agreed! Awesome report. Good work outing this creep.

Netload have decided to try their hand at using Paypal again. We're on to them.

And now they're terminated.

They really do not like it when it happens:

We've been under sustained DDoS attacks since I announced that we would keep going.

It's just part of the fun.

Both sites are down for me

FileFactory.com has just announced file search, where you can search all files located on FileFactory's servers.

http://stopfilelockers.com/wp-conten...torysearch.jpg

If you are a rights holder and your content is on File Factory then please contact us by emailing [email protected]

This is very important, as we have set up a special project to deal with File Factory with full details to be announced in coming weeks.

There are a number of hosting solutions for attack issues.

I can forward you some info if you would like, some are surprisingly economical.



I love special projects also.

We've got one. It works well. However we can still see the attacks even though they're usually ineffective.

All hosted by Leaseweb.

Sent you a list of our content. Let us know when we can send the official DMCA to them.

Thx!

We are particularly interested in reports of content not being taken down.

If anyone has examples of DMCA notices sent to File Factory that are not actioned within 24 hours then please let us know.

Random thought of the day: RapidGator.

Is a pay option available yet?

Rapidgator is a favorite filelocker for many here on gfy who have *adapted*

Shortly.

ImageTwist

I'd like rights holders to send copies of all their DMCA's and non complied with DMCA's for ImageTwist.

I want to drown Paxum in evidence they're a problem that needs dealing with.

Here's a thought. Why not get a client you are working with, write a white paper showing how their sales increased as a direct result of your antics, then everyone will give you money.

I've yet to see any direct evidence of any impact you are making to sales.

I imagine if you published some proof, you'd be inundated with donations.

Personally I think the pay for pirates are such a small percentage of piracy you're making no impact whatsoever, but I'd (genuinely) love to be proved wrong. But 10TB a day uploaded to usenet for people to get for free, uploaded for free makes me think this is all for nothing.

DamianJ - Good post.

In my case I am confident that that fighting piracy does keep sales up. But also in my case I am not in a position to state that "X" amount of people joined due to this filelocker going down or that filelocker going down. The main reason is that at the same time I send donations to this project I am also doing other things.

I have a guy in my office 40 hours a week to help with piracy issues.

I do hours a week of work myself on the same issues.

I register my copyrights, file suits, and later use the judgements to discourage others from posting my materials.

I even travel cross-country to stop piracy if thats what it takes (see http://wp-board.com/ blog).

15 months ago when Oron went down I did see a large increase in sales. Stopping a file locker in that case (not by AK) was good for me looking at monthly averages - just like the WP-Board deal was in 2009.

So, I can't post a firm number here swearing that much more was sold in memberships because of the Stop File Lockers program but I know its one of the things that helps.

Jimmy

In the next couple of months, watch USENET binaries all but disappear as Visa, Mastercard and Paypal abandon that space.

I have been working for many months on bringing an end to the ongoing problem of USENET being transformed from a useful information exchange to the hotbed of piracy and child exploitation that exists on it now.

Very soon USENET providers will need to remove/drop all piracy, child exploitation or other groups containing illegal content such as bestiality or they will find that they are left with no methods by which to accept payment.

As for the success of this project, the ongoing support of many in this industry counters your continual, repetitive and droning whining about white papers and so on.

Just a reminder as this is now lost on the previous page:

ImageTwist

I'd like rights holders to send copies of all their DMCA's and non complied with DMCA's for ImageTwist.

I want to drown Paxum in evidence they're a problem that needs dealing with.

To me filelockers are old school, for the hardcore who have used them for years and will die of natural causes anyway thanks to the ease of access of tubes, at least that's my thinking, I can't understand why anyone would want to go to the extra steps and hassle of using filelockers as opposed to just hitting play on a tube.

That said, I would love to see that day that all piracy is extinct.

The day Joe Bloggs wakes up with the morning horn, goes to his favourite tube site as he does every day, and it's no longer there, he tries a few more well known tubes and the same result, he's like "what the fuck!", after years of free porn it's become habit, he's hooked and left with no option but to sign up to the paysite of his favourite model(s).

Just imagine that day! :pimp


Leaving the tubes any longer is a big mistake, they have grown from piracy and the only reason they would exist with no piracy is that they have stolen all your traffic and blackmail you to have a share of it by offering partner accounts.


AK do you have plans or think you would include tubes and other methods of distribution in your campaign(s)?

My confidence in the work of AK and team shows in my donations.

$2000 by Paypal in 2012

$3000 by Paxum so far in 2013

This is exactly the kind of support that keeps us going, keeps paying the legal fees, keeps the cloud services running and supports the development of fresh strategies.

There is a common misconception held by some people in this industry that file lockers aren't a huge threat. The fact is they are. The largest of them are making millions of dollars a year by charging people to access stolen content in massive amounts. They pay uploaders a portion of that money but the bulk of a file lockers finances is pure profit.

Recently a large file locker offered a bucket load of money to me to help them look cleaner and help them regain their Paypal account. When that offer was rejected a personal threat was made.

In the Oron case an unbelievable amount of money was frozen and it's likely there was much more hidden away elsewhere.

There are tens of thousands of sites linking to infringing files on file lockers and there are some big sites with massive amounts of traffic offering file locker search engines that allow people to find complete site-rips in seconds and then download an entire site worth of content for a few dollars, thus making it unnecessary to join the site to see the same content.

There is no doubt that free porn via tubes is a challenge to the traditional affiliate model and to paysites in general. However the fact is that compared to the file lockers, torrents and USENET there if relatively little piracy on the larger tubes (with a few exceptions).

It's important to separate the model of free porn (as on tubes) and stolen content (on file lockers). Sure, you'll always find some stolen content on tubes, but not on the massive scale found on file lockers and torrent sites.

As for an expanded role for this project, there are many different things I'd like to be doing. However we do not have the resources to solve all of the adult industry's problems at once.

The Stop File Lockers project has a way to go yet, I am already pushing hard over USENET. As for torrent sites, I have a plan to start attacking them, however the Stop File Lockers project needs to stem the bleeding to file lockers first.

Simple thinking answers the questions about filelockers hurting the business.

1- They are hugely profitable while selling your content and to sell that content they are accepting the very same credits cards we all wish would be used on our own sites. Filelocker users are customers - they have cards and money (but buy from filelockers to get tons of content cheap).

2- If filelockers didn't make good money from their business model (99% piracy) why are they there and why do they keep fighting back when they lose a payment system?

If it was chump change they make - wouldn't they just go do something else once they lost a method to collect chump change?

Thank you for taking the time to answer AK, no doubt you're doing a great job! :pimp:thumbsup

Anyone that believes there is not a shitload of money in the rogue file locker business is either very poorly informed or just out right clueless.

These people make mad money, scam the users, close and return with a new $10 domain to do it again. Some of them do not even spend money on the XFS Pro platform they use to operate. Ad Networks love them lots of traffic and imprints, some of them have figured out how to keep AdSense on their sites for extended periods and draw payments from Google.

How many of you would like $20 or $30K a month from ads on your sites?
Can you imagine 1 complaint I heard from 1 of these guys was he took in $30K from AdSense but had to pay over half of it to his users!

You only need to spend some time reading their posts to realize they pay people a few bucks an hour to build traffic and back links. They get tons of traffic that they can heavily monetize. There are several income streams from a file host site. You need to study and grasp the way the cash flows with these people. When you do you begin to understand that the cash flow is the most vulnerable place to attack.

Take away the money and most of the people uploading stolen content will disappear.
