I appreciated the offer but I'm looking for more than a DMCA's. Each time I talk to a company that offers that type of service it's clear that I would still have to track down my content and report it. At that point there's not much more work to email the DMCA.

is this the first ever thread ever to hit a million views?

Copy Control doesn't issue DMCA notices.

What we do is use your DMCA notices as evidence when we ramp up pressure via payment processors, ISPs, ad networks etc.

There's something else you can do also, but that's for email only.

I'm not sure but I recently botted all of GFY with some PHP bots I made. I was going to do analysis of industry status based on post count etc.

To my surprise I found threads more than double the length of this one (or close to double) within the span on a few months.
It was a time where I had no idea how one would even get into pushing porn and jackoff webmasters got paid to post all day and do little and still make pretty decent income.

I'll be mining the data, it's over 150GB of text, just the "Fucking Around & Program Discussion" and presenting it with D3js.org

this thread has almost a million views? why

they sent you a few emails over the months, but no reply

Via what means ? If they sent them to infringements@ then this is not human monitored.

The best way is to use the contact form.

It appears a very large file sharing/warez forum has had their domain name suspended.

Shit Happens :2 cents:

WJunction has had it's share of issues the past 48 hours also. :upsidedow

Actually they seem to have been experiencing problems for a couple weeks.

They just had a DNS problem and are back again. So nothing new, just some incompetent admins like on most sites of that kind.

Actually the dot Org had expired and there were questions about whether or not renewal would be possible. The dot Info was resolving last night.

As of last night the whois showed an expiration of March 24, 2014. It appears to have been renewed. A update was posted on CW this afternoon.

This may very well be an extremely bad week for a few file lockers.

Lots of developing information starting to pop up.

Could be a fun fact filled week.

Everyone can make predictions, I prefer hard results.

Warning file lockers that something may happen only serves to help the owners of them, not the cause.

:2 cents: Ambush style.

Looks like the defecation matter has already hit the oscillating device.

What are the biggest and most copyright infiging FL by now?

You can review the Google Transparency Report which will give you an indication.

We have a prioritised hit list but we're not going to share our data publicly.

I will endeavour to post some charts in the next couple of days though which may indicate the scale of the problem still to be dealt with.

The real picture is not obvious for everyone of course, but after one a half year very little has changed

Uploaded.net is the most active FL right now, constantly sprouting up new branches like oboom.com (http://www.wjunction.com/95-file-hos...ml#post1963134)

Open affiliate program, huge traffic numbers, every possible payment options is working like clock and it seems like AK can't make a dent or accomplish anything with them.

The way I see it, there could only be two reasons, either AK is a looser or he gets very generously paid or otherwise profits by/from Uploaded.net owners.

Outside readers and forum members will cycle back and forth through pages in search of specific posts. Each page load is counted as a view.

SE bots hit each individual page as well.

It's a clear indication that when the upload monkeys and piracy sympathisers are crying and throwing accusations that we are doing something right.

Funny, this was you not too long ago.

File Locker Paypal terminations:

dnbshare.com
abcdownload.ro
chasebackup.com
dosyasitesi.com
fastfileshare.com.ar
fliiby.com
fileapartment.com
fileout.net
filesabc.com
loadgator.com
localhostr.com
mongofiles.com
nekaka.com
pocashare.com
qdrive.us
streamfile.com

Do more research.

Just randomly tried

fileout.net
filesabc.com

and both have paypal still

We'll check all these again and any that either still have Paypal or have re-instated new Paypal accounts on their sites will be terminated.

Who besides AdultKing cares about such amateur file hosting services which are not even ranked in alexa in top 1M while others like uploaded.net or rapidgator.net are in top 500 sites worldwide and can still process credit cards without any hassle?

History shows that small filelockers, when left unchecked, can become big filelockers

specify please

Every big file locker started as a small file locker, the problem we now face is that for years nobody did anything so small file lockers grew into the behemoths we battle now.

We work toward shutting down every infringing file locker we can, regardless of size.

Problem is that paypal follows usa laws no matter where they process. with Visa and Mastercard this is not the case. They follow local laws where they are processing. So its hard to get cc processing terminated for sites out of the usa. Much more cc laws in the usa then anywhere else in the world.

This is incorrect.

Paypal have different agreements in different jurisdictions.

Visa & MasterCard both have global IP policies.

So why wasn't it possible to shut down the merchant accounts of the most rogue sites out there? It's almost two years now and in my opinion nothing changed, because the small ones have no impact when the big boys are still there...

A lot has changed and its tougher than its ever been for the big file lockers to process payments. Watch the upload monkey hangouts for clues as to which file lockers are running into difficulty.

Determined sites will have a huge number of merchant accounts and billing relationships, impacting them is not a quick process.

What it has changed exactly and when?

The whole risk profile of file lockers has been raised over the course of the past couple of years. Acquirers are now much better educated about the adverse risks that file lockers present and have acted accordingly.

It's harder to get payment processing for a file locker now than it was when this project began and we work every day to further restrict file lockers access to payment processing.

When I look at the top 50 or even top 100 file lockers, it's really obvious that it must be really hard for them to get payment and credit card processing... :pimp
