oh and btw the article in question

http://stopfilelockers.com/tag/child-pornography/

was tagged and google bombed to the search engines with the term child pornography.

and the only representation to any time of adult content was the misrepresentation of david banners album and a mainstream movie.

What is this doing way down here! Bump.

Robbie, you know the rules on personal information. Knock it off!

Gongrats AK on your next kill :thumbsup

And dammit, it almost feels like an anti-piracy buffet now :pimp
:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

nice! :thumbsup

Bump for this great thread.

Just got several confirmations that Removeyourcontent and Met-Art anti-piracy were also involved with the 1hostclick and Paypal, obviously that was a joint effort and joint success, a big thanks to all parties involved in this thieving site losing it's paypal account :thumbsup

Everyone smells the blood.

Bump for this great job.

Yep. And another one bites the dust, thanks to Metart anti-piracy team:

They were pretty bad, good work! Like Mutt and Phad said, they didn't even have a way to contact them for DMCA, and the only way to get things removed was to go through Paypal which took over a week in most cases. It was very frustrating. I don't understand why Paypal didn't even have that as a prerequisite for processing.

I will make this comment about filepost.com since I told them I would put in a good word for them if it ever came up. Though they started out bad, in the end they were being more helpful than any other filehost I have dealt with, and really seemed to clean up their act. I wish more would've followed their example.

Does your employer know you are posting on GFY? Oh wait let me call him know and let him know :1orglaugh




Hello, Ronald .. your fry cook is posting on GFY again.

Involve mainstream companies too
 

Even though mainstream companies dont want to associate with "adult" stuff in any shape or form, this may be one opportunity where they may be able to back up the campaign in the long run by providing manpower, help and funds. A cursory search for expensive softwares and applications on google brings out thousands upon thousands of links to pirated copies of these uploaded to various filehosting sites. The damage done is literally in millions of $.
Another target to bring down could be the various forums that blatantly allow such links to be posted on their boards. In an ironic twist to the tale, many of the boards were killed by file lockers as their only source of income (restricted area subscriptions) dried out quickly. The ad supported model does not even pay for server cost so lots of them have folded up or are sick of pirates using their forums for making money. Once the free forums are removed from the picture, pirates will find it very difficult to manage thousands of downloads for the pirated booty. No downloads, no sales = no money

I'm going to let others take credit for 1hostclick.com, I am not sure how late we came to the party on that site so I would be reticent taking credit for it.

BTW: I'm back now :)

I'm disappointed to see DepositFiles.com still processing through Paypal. I've contacted Paypal and am hoping for a resolution sooner rather than later.

Can we get a recap? Have you guys hit any of the big lockers?

Hotfile, Bitshare, Oron, netload.in, letitbit.net, depositfiles?

Great work BTW, I don't have time to follow this thread but it's about fucking time!! :2 cents: :thumbsup

Letitbit have been terminated by Paypal, Deposit files were but seem to have come back.

Bitshare we have finished our reports and sent them to Paypal who I believe are still investigating.

There's a list of those we believe were terminated here:

http://stopfilelockers.com/huge-payp...-file-lockers/

Some have come back with accounts they had on ice and we are chipping away at those right now.

We are expecting another large site to stop using Paypal on the weekend but for legal reasons cannot divulge any further information.

We have been in communication with Alex from FilesPost.com and he wishes to become compliant so we have held off action until discussions early next week,

We are happy to speak to any file locker that wishes to change their ways so long as they are serious about it, if not then we're going after every form of payment processing they have.

Someone claiming to be from DepositFiles.com made contact on 6th July 2012, his name was Erik and he claimed to be a lawyer from Germany. There has been no further contact and quite frankly they have done nothing to demonstrate that they want to be compliant, contrary they have just shown that they want to milk the business for all they can get without taking abuse seriously. Until they demonstrate to us that they will enter reasonable dialogue and deal with the substantive issues seriously I consider them a high priority target for our operations.

We are currently dealing with the following sites on a high priority basis

http://allmyvideos.net/premium.html

http://am4share.com/premium.html

http://www.24uploads.com/

http://4savefile.com

http://1hostclick.com was in this list but as everyone knows they are now gone from Paypal, if they return like so many others we'll go at them again. I understand from this thread that the ACIUF were also going after them so I'm not going to claim that as a kill. Personally I don't see any of this as a competition, I'm happy if a non compliant and illegal file locker goes through the results of anyones work.

I can tell you right now deposit files are going to be the ones ddosing.

I don't care.

Bump for great plans

That is just jaw-dropping.

Not only do they profit (BIG TIME) from stolen work...then they have the balls to have a lawyer get involved? lol!

These fucks are just completely delusional. THEY break the billing processors TOS and then want a lawyer to stop you from pointing that out.

I hope that they ALL end up in prison where they belong. Fucking parasites.

Announcing to the world the formation of Copy Control.

http://stopfilelockers.com/introduci...ercial-piracy/

There won't be much slaying going on today, we are working hard on getting everything in place for the collaboration system and dealing with some back office issues to streamline processes even further.

We expect more updates Friday and Saturday.

As things settle into a routine we expect to have daily updates from Monday through Friday and we will not be reporting (unless events dictate) much on the weekend as all the processors work during business hours around the globe.

put stopfilelockers on cloudflare

We're happy with where Stop File Lockers is at the moment, it's never been down for more than a few minutes.

Over at WJunction a post by the Squillion support rep speaks volumes about how things have shifted.

http://www.wjunction.com/1593718-post1020.htm

Where this road leads, is going to take a whole lot more than a couple of grand carry this torch for "the industry".

I hope AK has found a host who believe in this cause, because it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. You are fucking with people making millions off this business. Right now they probably see him as a piss ant buzzing around causing a lot of ruckus and getting virtual high fives. I would bet they are just waiting for him to give up the one man crusade.

Wait until he actually starts knocking out some of the big boys in the space. I hope AK has a battle hardened DDoS hosting company standing behind him. Although that is not the worst of it to come. There will be death threats against his family, people will be trying to track him down personally, and so on and so forth. I am not talking posting some bullshit on a blog. I mean calling his fucking house.

We have seen similar nutjobs on GFY do this sort of shit after being banned, or because of some personal vendetta. Now imagine some stranger is actually taking away your golden goose paying you millions of dollars per month. Do you not believe there will be legal (and other) retributions?

It's going to cost a lot more time and money that $3k before it's over. I wish AK the best on his journey...

:2 cents:

It's already begun, false accusations and "we must stop this guy". Thing is it's too late. It's not just me anymore, there's a whole corporation to wipe out now if they want to stop this, complete with staff, volunteers and contributors.


In one thread about a Paypal Terminated file locker someone wrote:

And in another thread the operators of ShareFlare (somehow related to LetitBit) have posted this:

http://stopfilelockers.com.au/wp-con...ccusations.jpg

Copy Control now runs the ball game. It's hard to get rid of a company with it's own lines of management and proper succession plans in place.

As I said... I hope you fully understand what you have signed up for.

You are taking this issue on your shoulders. Many others have talked about what has happened to them in the past for similar cases. Whether it's for DMCA's like RYC Eric, or borked's project he was working on over the past year to name a few.

You've seen how some demented psychotics on GFY have spared no expense to troll people they do not like on a personal level over the years. Whether it was for being banned, or because of some vendetta or pissing war. That will be nothing compared to what you are taking on with this issue.

I am not out to dissuade you. I believe you have made your mind up on the topic. I am simply saying, I wish you the best on this. I hope you have a host willing to suck it up when you are hit with massive DDoS attacks for weeks on end. I hope people start kicking in more than virtual kudos, as you will need cash to follow this through to conclusion.

:2 cents:

Yes you are onto a key aspect here.
Some of these depicted filelockers" are organized crime.
They too are in the business of killing off.

There's an interesting thread on a bodybuilding site about this (I hope Eric will forgive me linking to a forum but I it shows the way people are starting to consider the prospect of free porn being limited at some stage)

http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...6412753&page=1

I hope you understand that you have no balls

This coming from some troll 2.0 and a previously banned mcfadden nick.

At least under your old nick you handled yourself like someone who at least appeared as if he was full time in this industry and had a few bucks to his name. That is... other than your 12clicks obsession that ultimately ended in your repeated banning.

Now you're little more than some annoying fly buzzing around seeking attention.

:2 cents:

Your statement that I quoted shows you have no balls... you have no balls. You take somebody's efforts that has many more balls then you and you tell him to *watch out*. You really are a pussy.

You shouldn't have pissed me off. If you weren't such a dick bag we wouldn't be doing this. But when I see you belittling other people's efforts I will call you out. Do you think you were not belittling AK's efforts by telling him to "watch out". That is indescreetly telling him to watch his back, not that you would have his back, but basically trying to instill fear in him.

I think what I summarized is accurate and true. You are just a pussy with no balls.

However you see it, he has a valid point.

I wouldn't fuck with AK though, who ever does might be in for a surprise. :2 cents:

I just think this industry has no balls in general. It is something that I have thought for awhile with all the tubes and everyone giving away there content, watching content worth 1000 selling for 20 bucks. But not just the content, sites not selling either. Just a huge circle of circle jerk not selling subscriptions. I'm not talking about the CJ of the old days... I'm talking about a content producer calling me up on the phone and asking if I wanted to buy his entire collection for $800. Shit he would have sold for 20K... actually he wouldn't have sold... would have made much more by just shooting.

This industry has not pulled together at all and it is every man for himself. In this thread I see some hope... and let it continue. I think that inherently this industry has limited balls, I think BF has no balls, but that is what I think and everyone else can carry on.

I will be making a donation, however, to the cause, and I will be available to help as well. What I need is a task. Let me know what I can do.

In their article they talk about the paid supports of free porn yet missed the biggest support. It's people paying for the product they steal. Without others buying and spending money to produce, there would be no free porn.

Let's not make this an argument between ourselves.

Bumping this to the top

Fantastic news AK :thumbsup

I'm really glad to see you're making steps towards transforming SFL into the ongoing serious effort backed by our entire industry.

I think that rather than individual negotiations with each file locker, it'll be better to post an official guideline for all of them to follow with the list of recommendations as to how to become compliant and to avoid becoming a target for Copy Control.

That will also look good public relations wise, because it'll make it clear what kind of sites we're after, and that we're also giving them a chance of changing the ways they operate and not simply slaying the frak out of all of them. That will be a tough guideline of course, because it will be meant to really stop piracy at file lockers and not simply implementing some cosmetic changes such as to disallow content of a few selected copyright holders to be illegally "shared", and many of them will not be able to follow because piracy is their only source of income. But at least we'll give them a chance which always looks good in the eyes of public opinion, and also it'll help to further build relationships with serious organizations such as Paypal and VISA/MC.

This guideline could look as following:

1. Follow DMCA law to the letter (that includes having an effective repeat infringer policy).
2. Monitor the incoming traffic on a daily basic, and if visitors from known piracy sites (see the list) are noticed, investigate immediatly - ban posters who post there and remove all files that were uploaded by these posters. You can also block traffic from those confirmed piracy sites through htaccess file.
3. Implement standard technical measures to prevent infringements, such as MD5 and DFP. Do not interfere with them.
4. Establish and implement a reasonable and transparent policy for copyright holders to apply for instant take down accounts.
5. Stopping adult content piracy is not enough. We support all legit creative industries, and we'll still report your site if it allows copyrighted movies, tv shows, software or music to be "shared" illegally. Cleaning up your acts means stopping piracy altogether, not only adult content piracy.
6. .....

If you agree with the idea I can put a draft together and post it for discussion.
