If Paul Markham was a hater, he would be Damian and Franck rolled into one.

And that is all that needs to be said about that.

Brother, if you do that...then you will truly be bringing major pain to piracy.

The level of piracy would be back to almost non-existent again if all these goddamn companies would stop advertising on them and keeping them rich.

In my humble opinion that would be a real game changer that could be used on filelockers AND porn tubes with user upload.

The Crushing the AD networks who lick the pirate's balls will be such a pleasure to see.

:thumbsup

No way. For the first time ever things are actually starting to be somewhat contained.

14 Usenet providers have lost Paypal and can expect to lose credit card processing soon if they continue to carry certain newsgroups.

Don't for a moment thing Usenet is immune to what we are doing.

However as for figures, some file lockers we monitor for DMCA's have uploads equivalent to or exceeding of the total volume Usenet in one day.

Oron was a monster, sites like Uploaded, Netload, Rapidgator and Letitbit are huge in comparison to the content added to Usenet each day.

We're doing ok, however always welcome contributions via either Paypal or Paxum at [email protected]

One of the common complaints by people building NZB's is completion, DMCA's and other strategies actually mean that a whole lot of content has missing parts which make completion impossible.

We're going to crush Usenet providers who continue to distribute harmful and infringing content.

It's clear throughout this thread that Damian has no understanding of the scale of the file locker problem.

Usenet isn't free - it may be provided for free by your ISP but that isn't the same thing.

Some of the largest copyright holders disagree with you, our methods have been very effective and we're already developing new capabilities which will help us further mitigate the problem (partly why I have been so quiet lately as we build new alliances and technology).

This is coming, watch this space.

AdultKing, can i donate in Bitcoins?

dom't "sue" em and any of that sissy shit, use guns and kill those motherfuckers

Hey AK, you have an icq from me.

And a friendly bump of course.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Sure, buddy. Petabytes of Hollywood movies, flac-quality albums, Photoshop standard apps, and the latest games on Usenet for a decade and a half, but some dude from GFY will be the demise of Usenet as soon as he can spare five minutes. I've heard it all now.

It's not even close to being dead. It's true that it doesn't have the range of more obscure material other places have though.

It's clearly not a waste of time for people trying to make a living from piracy by pretending it can be stopped.

1. Are you saying they 'lost' Paypal because of you?
2. Care to list those 14 Usenet providers?
3. Care to list the Newsgroups, so we can see if they're piracy related?

Funny. Whenever anyone asks why you don't go for adult tubes, the claim is you're just going after file lockers. Must be another reason you go out of your way to defend adult tubes then.

We don't discuss ongoing operational matters.

We're looking at several forums at the moment, specifically including x-teens.net

x-teens.net link to several of the worst file lockers, providing substantial traffic to them.

If you have a problem with x-teens.net and any other forums who display ExoClick ads then please send copies of your DMCA's to [email protected]

bump for AK and hi s great work

Problems for MTGox bitcoin exchange according to TorrentFreak, BetaBeat, numerous forum posts, and twitter comments.

Dwolla received Federal orders to stop processing payments between Dwolla and MtGox.

Expect more of the same over coming months and years, Bitcoin has no friends when it comes to western Governments and regulators.

Luckyshare is hosted by blacklotus.net and neither of them are responsive.

You gotta love the desperation on http://www.wjunction.com/136-file-ho...ussion-archive

who would have thought charging the uploader instead of downloader wouldnt work..duh

"I m still waiting for filegag reply if he scam then what ?? just move to other host that's it we can't do anything....."

Filemates: Guys i am sorry. At the end this will not be possible to reborn. After lot of efforts i SWEAR i can't afford it anymore! I simply run out of resources.

"at my account pending payment has been paid... but i didn't received the money on my paypal. Cant really understand why Mods Don't Announce When a FileHost Account Get Banned Here ... So we can clear "???" from our minds . "

"Time has changed man and with so many hosts in this market now the good old filesonic/megaupload days will NEVER be back. "

"RapidVideo.com Looks like this host is dead for good "

Fascinating English language:
SharedBit.net
Q: Aff now close. Cannot working with zoom FIU, cannot shared, cannot adv premium
A: I'm clearly understand resentment regarding affiliate program closure, but there is no sense to take amiss -- all our affiliates have fully paid with all their earnings and actually, closure not our fault.

Interesting as I met the CEO of Dwolla, Ben Milne, talk at Iowa State. Got his business card etc.

He mentioned that when he was developing Dwolla the fed showed up to his door, scared the crap out of him. He mentioned the feds are all about finding more ways to make currency flow in the economy and were more than willing to help.
But with bitcoins position it isn't a surprise they received these orders.
Bitcoin can't be so easily manipulated by the government or taxed (except for exchange for other currency they have control over) so it is no surprise why they would get federal orders over something like this.

We are aggressively chasing down sites which purport to provide full site rips and have linked a number of file lockers to organised theft of intellectual property.

One example below shows the extent of this problem, there are hundreds of such sites sharing terabytes of content through file lockers that are rewarding the operators of these sites with payments.

keep2share.cc is a major offender in this space and we are working to identify and restrict their merchant accounts to ensure that they are unable to profit from the theft that they so openly encourage.

It's too bad more people aren't making noise in this thread, even the antagonists :winkwink:

bump for those good things happening

Here's Pornorips.com, Alexa Rank 28,190.

Not only is it linking to stolen content to hundreds of porn sites, it also proudly carries an AEBN white label and VirtualGirl ads. So they are not only monetizing through the sale of file locker memberships but also supporting a VOD service.

This is just pure theft for profit.

Domain Details

Ivan also owns porn-share.com, rlslog.net, and releaselog.net.

Correct. He's a first class scumbag.

what a surprise... a Russian pirate? *sigh*

keep up the good work

One of our largest contributors is Russian , so let's not generalise. There are just as many American thieves, Rudy Corella is one that comes to mind.

Bumpage.

Yes. I agree. Although there are actually things you can generalize which I am not gonna go into here, calling an entire people thieves is not one them. Yes, most of these guys are east Europeans but if you call hundreds of millions people thieves how are you gonna explain 500 years of western colonialism.

1 of many on the W3

There are so many your neighbor could be 1. They come from all walks of life, all nations, there is no real predominate face of IP piracy. It started well before the W3 or even a local bbs, disks were mailed and traded long ago.

Note: I am not saying it is ok, just stating how long this has been happening in the digital world and how widespread the problem is.

Rudy steals from his affiliates also Robert, but that should not come as a surprise either.

You would be surprised how many of those "Eastern Europeans" can be traced right back to the west. You have to examine every bit of information and data carefully but many are not who or where they appear to be.

and new ad networks launched every second day, who will fight to advertise on said sites...

kill em all

There have been some people sending out notices and fraudulent spoofed emails and DMCA notices using the CopyControl domain in these emails.

We are working with third parties to identify the source of these emails.

As has been commonplace throughout the life of this project there have been extensive and sometimes sophisticated efforts to discredit our work, however we will not be deterred by those who seek to undermine our activities.

bump for the cause

Bump for AK

Just another validation of the effects of your efforts.

We're watching the pain of those caught up by the demise of Liberty Reserve with some interest.

It's worth noting that companies like Ukash allow transactions very similar to those facilitated by Liberty Reserve. As we have seen with piracy sites, where the is a willingness to dabble with illegal activity there is also a lack of accountability when it comes to addressing the problem of child exploitation material and other illegal content.

We find that most illegal file lockers have a child pornography content problem, we also know that the grey market financial systems also have similar problems. We have detected issues with Ukash, OKPay, Webmoney and other similar systems.

As for the demise of Liberty Reserve , it's interesting watching the unfolding despair and denial of the pirate webmaster community as they grapple with yet another affront to their criminal activities.
