We'll work with responsible ad networks so they can rid themselves of piracy, the same goes for affiliate programs.

Ad networks and affiliate programs that blatantly support piracy will only have themselves to blame for the consequences that will follow.

Filesonic.com files seem reactivated
 

AK FYI I see there are some old Filesonic site rips of 18closeup.com (that were dead links since the Megaupload case) that are somehow revived under another filelocker domain (dizzcloud.com). We've been dealing with piracy for a while now, and from what I can tell, Filesonic operators are back with dizzcloud.com but ALSO with the links and content they had when they left the business.

@Alex911. Can you please get in contact ?

Posting paypal staff numbers on an adult industry forum is a good way to keep the moral high ground.

:upsidedow

Dizzcloud and a Russian warez forum (http://fs.to) on the same IP.

More details regarding this post, the ip for dizzcloud used to be 54.247.162.121, this is now used by fs.to (Russian warez forum), which in turn forwards to brb.to, which appears to have once been used for filehosting in the past.

Another interesting note, Dizzcloud's original ips are used by reseller-keys.com, the ip is 109.206.166.100 which is used by cloudstoreservice.net which has a live copy of Dizzcloud hosted.

We've got a pretty good picture of Dizzcloud, we've tracked payment flows and have a good understanding of the relationships to other sites.

There are around 3000~ domains being used to share content hosted on Dizzcloud, the top ten are:

siterip.info
siterip.eu
site-rip.org
siterip.us
pornreleasez.com
allyoulike.com
bestsoftfull.com
gfxloops.info
uswarez.com
dlwarez.in

Dizzcloud are also associated with some illegal sites, much like Lumfile and Keep2Share.cc are.

msg sent :winkwink:

bump for some good news comming..

That LumFile Pseudo-Bank/Currency Exchange in Viet Nam is fairly interesting.

Here's another cocksucker.

Looks like 1 of our "friends" is not doing so well.

Sending out 480 DMCA's isn't the way I was planning on spending my Friday.

While I understand your sentiment, if you do not do it yourself or pay someone else to do it for you it just does not get done.

Of course DMCA is not really your only recourse. Sometimes it is simple other times it is a little tougher and you have to get mean.

When conventional means to do suit you or work you sometimes need to use non-conventional means. Think outside the box.

And no, non-conventional does not always imply illegal either.

Because the sad reality is that you can't trust many people in this business. I'm a very trusting person and came from an industry that has excellent work ethics so it's been a process for me to get use to the liars, thieves and cheats. Most are right under our noses.

This industry attracts some shady people who are looking for a quick buck with little regard to how they get it.

I find it difficult to believe that the various take-down services are capable of effectively monitoring every customer's content. From my understanding, the content owners still have to do most of the leg work and find their content to report it for removal. At that point you might as well send out the DMCA yourself. But in particular cases like this it would be worth the money to have someone remove this many videos.

It's just part of the stealing game. The thieves take our content, time and money.

that seem to be a rogue biller http://keep2share.cc/pr/867.html

I think any reputable DMCA agent has the tools to effectively monitor for theft of your content. You would probably find the services of a DMCA agent would save you time which could be best spent on running your business.

As for further fighting infringement, I believe we already receive copies of your DMCA notices. If you had signed the rights holder agency agreement we had sent you then we could use that evidence to help shut down payment processing and web hosting, however without it we can only use your DMCA notices for general intelligence purposes.

k2s.cc/keep2share.cc is a site we're actively working on.

I noticed oteupload.com doesn't work anymore. :winkwink:

but they are now called filehaste

http://www.wjunction.com/102-file-ho...183610-15.html

We are going after that one too and they are just as vulnerable, processing through First Data. We know a lot about the owners, they are risking a lot by trying again.

Mentioned in the previous page of this thread.

They are currently using an email campaign to recruit users.

you will never kill them as long as there is a demand. :2 cents: you off one 10 pop up :1orglaugh

That's exactly what's happening and as long as they can hide behind DMCA claiming the files were "user" uploaded then it will be whac-a-mole.

Stealing content is low hanging fruit and any monkey with a computer can get into the theft business and make money with little effort.

exactly and if they live in a country of the enemy your fucked. i think its apple the chinese built cloned stores and products :helpme apple cant do shit to stop them :Oh crap

DMCA is a band aid at best. It is ineffective, as you noted, in this scenario though.

This is why it should not be your only avenue of recourse/protection.

You could spend the rest of your life discussing what does not work or find the methods/means of what is a more effective or does work. Always keeping in mind that what works in 1 or some cases does not in all cases.

Another thing that many fail to look at is being proactive against future infringements.

You can not just react to current/past infringement.

There is no clear cut, simple, easy solution for online/digital piracy.

It is a complex issue and will require ongoing complex actions to combat it until stronger criminal and civil penalties/enforcements are implemented around most of the world.

US Law makers, same elsewhere though, are clueless about what to do or even how it happens other then the basic mechanics of online/digital piracy.

I spent several hours last week reviewing congressional sub-committee hearings/testimony on copyright and you would be surprised how little about infringement enforcements and penalties was discussed. More time was spent on discussing whether websites should be allowed to sell their interpretations of public laws then anything other topic.

When you have unscrupulous CashWhores on this side of the fence making things difficult with questionable legal actions that he courts throw out and get massive negative press it looks bad for everyone bringing these actions to court. This does not help promote more actions within the legal system for recourse.

But if you do not have time to send DMCA's about infringement you more then likely have no time to get involved in any other piracy mitigation/protection methods, to talk to lawmakers about the impact infringement has on you or the industry, or do research on the entire online/digital piracy ecosystem to educate/inform yourself why it is attractive to many and how to attack it.

Lets talk money for a moment. How much of that revenue that you lost to piracy is lost revenue for your local, state, and federal governments? That is something politicians/lawmakers understand. But you can't use imaginary unrealistic over inflated numbers so the credibility is not questioned. Remind them that loss also determines your ability to support them and the public good at fundraisers and with donations/contributions.

Is it a lot of effort, hell yes! Are you worth it to yourself? Business as usual means Business as usual, nothing changes.

The Chinese authorities, in conjunction with Apple and other rights holders are constantly shutting down fake stores, including fake Apple stores. So your comments are not only wrong they are misinformed.

It appears to me that there is a certain section of the GFY community that actually cheers on the pirates, if the layers we peeled back I am guessing it's likely that those people have some direct or indirect interest in piracy.

The facts are that we are making significant progress in this war. There are less file lockers now than there were when we started this project in 2012. We have completely reframed the way in which payment processors look at this sector. We have significantly raised awareness amongst payment processors of the risk associated with file lockers and as a result it is MUCH harder to get credit card processing for a file locker now than it was before this project began.

There will be naysayers, especially amongst those who directly or indirectly benefit from piracy.

whats up with massive infringer Upstore?

Upsto.re / Upstore.net is far from massive.

That aside, it's gained a bit of traffic progressively using the Upstore.net domain, while at the same time we've been collecting a lot of data that will help us disrupt the site. It's not our highest priority site though.

I don't know if you're a rights holder or not, however if you are then contact us with any evidence of infringement by this or other sites that you may have.

https://copycontrol.org/contact-us

Upstore, Keep2share and Rapidgator should be 3 of the most major hosters you are going after now. These 3 are LARGE PIRATE SITES main hosters now :disgust

All of them are bad. Keep2Share & Rapidgator are in the top 10. Upstore is smaller than other hosts that are much worse such as Dizzcloud, Ultramegabit, FileFactory and Uploaded.

If anyone has more examples of infringement that can give more weight to the case against Upstore then we need two things, copies of all DMCAs and a signed representation agreement. Then we can use DMCA evidence to go after them.

Anyone who wishes to arrange representation can contact us at https://copycontrol.org/contact-us

The cases we have progressed furthest are ones where we have several rights holders being pro-active with DMCAs and have an agreement with us.

fuck off :2 cents::2 cents:

hey AK
any updated on big FL?
