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.

Mr Ak
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 ?

Lets suppose it does but it also obeys all the DMCA notices and replies to them all

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.

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.

Sure, pirates will move from one file locker to the next. However we are in this playing the long game. We've killed off hundreds of sites and we'll keep pushing the infringing file lockers toward best practices or extinction.
