Oron has had a month to transfer files and databases. If they did that or not IDK. Maybe they?ll just start new somewhere else. They?re probably doing business under a couple of other names already. Seems to be a standard for file lockers. When one gets into trouble, close it and open a new one.

Agrre. They are too big, they make too much money to just close doors and leaventhencash cow free out in the wild...

That won't make any difference to their processing vulnerability. If it is the case, why take one lot of servers down are they moving those as well?

We are extremely proud of this program. The idea that freeloaders will never pay for porn is a MYTH. Does that mean EVERY pirate will pay for porn? No, of course not. Far from it. But our clients are seeing a lot of joins, and a ton of traffic, from the file hosting sites in our "Making Piracy Pay" program. The further intent of the program is to take the affiliate portion of the join and put it towards our monthly fee. That way these converted pirates are actually paying for our services instead of our fee coming out of the budgets of the producers.

We have a LOT of data that proves just how valuable this "pirate" traffic can be, and what kinds of users convert to legal users, which is very important as our clients need to prove losses in a court of law based on the existence of file hosts and tubes that distribute their files illegally. The actual data really shatters a lot of myths I think.

Having said that, I feel like the geeky set using usenet or die-hard torrent types will never pay for content. But your run-of-the-mill file host downloader will if there are no other easy options.

As people have often said here and elsewhere: make it easy, high quality, convenient and cheap to get it legally and people will.

Hit me up privately (pornguardian.com) for more information if you have any questions.

File Lockers in motion!

Kill filelockers!

Oron may spring up somewhere else, however the operators of Oron would be foolish to think that they are invincible.

depositfiles.com seems to be taking over.

Really ?

Loss of trust. :upsidedow

Will cost them a lot.

Love the sound of that irony.

You have something cooking!

We're working and chipping away at some of the larger players in this game. These larger sites take a lot more work, which is not as spectacular as knocking off dozens of smaller file lockers in one fell swoop.

There are many groups working to shut down commercial copyright infringement. The suit against Oron showed that even the biggest sites are vulnerable when you target their financial base. It's obvious that the freezing of Oron's assets, which was widely reported, was a highly effective strategy.

Here's to the continual freezing of Filelockers assets :thumbsup

Some recent Paypal terminations


We believe that all these sites have been terminated by Paypal in the last week. We do not believe any of them may process through Paypal again, however Paypal always deals with these matters on a case by case basis.

NOTES Copy Control does not claim responsibility for these or any other Paypal terminations. Many organisations work to deal with infringing sites. Some of these sites may have been reported earlier then re-reported as they continued to process with Paypal. This information is current at the time of publication and is subject to change.

Fucking loving it!

It's great fun following this, Furk for example keeps giving 'premium features for free' basically because they keep losing their PayPal :)

Oron is back btw, still on Leaseweb by the looks...

Paypal does not allow pornography of any kind.

I setup a paypal account to test a new site im working on, i did a 1$ test payment - And my account was shut down within 24 hours.

Hey good luck adultking - I luv what your doing :)

That's what I thought but pretty sure I recall seeing an email from freeones last week stating they now accept paypal?

I think they exploit a loop hole of it being for a faster downloading service. Until Paypal comes out as strongly against piracy as it does for porn. It will be a drawn out fight.

We found this site today

http://www.officeproductkey.eu

Which just goes to show how blatant piracy is. This site was reported to us because apparently the site delivers customers download links from file lockers in return for their payment.

Just one of the several file lockers who keep springing back up with Paypal accounts they had on ice. Paypal terminate them almost as quickly as they come up.

Can't reach Oron from the US or Australia.

or the UK :thumbsup

Weird, it worked this morning for at least half an hour, I ran a traceroute as well and it traced to Leaseweb, but now it's dead here too as before.

Maybe I somehow had it cached.

Correct and Rapidshare have a lot of pornography, even illegal pornography on their servers. Rapidshare also accept Paypal. Things that make you go hmmm.

I would say rapidgator is getting more love from the uploads

Agreed, seeing a ton more on Rapidgator this past month. Also Shareflare.

Rapidgator seems to be one of the biggest which offers a pay-per-download system now.

Hopefully it finally gets targeted soon, they seem to have found a way to avoid all of this trouble.

Hey adultking I sent you an icq message but no replies what's the most correct way to contact you?

Bump for fun

Oh that site is very popular over here in the UK even with computer shops

Bumping for more reading pleasure, this is too important a topic to see it buried.

I think it depends. You can buy a reddit gold account using paypal, reddit is not a pornsite of course but there's ton of porn in their subreddits (reddit.com/r/boobies, reddit.com/r/pornvids, reddit.com/r/metart and the list goes on and on) and the same goes for big image hosting sites like imgur.com that sell premium accounts via paypal and host lots of porn pictures that are then shared in sites like reddit.

Tumblr sells "premium" post via paypal and we all know tumblr is full of porn.

No File Locker is immune providing it provides access to large amounts of copyright infringing content.

A part of the equation many file lockers have missed is that of brand risk to payment processors. Some seem to have bet their business against the brand risk that Paypal, Mastercard or Visa see as a result of processing transactions for them.

It really doesn't matter how much volume the file locker is doing in sales, if the overall brand risk to a payment processor is too high then they are vulnerable.

Keep it on top

on the ? oh yes on the top

I'm on ICQ only periodically. If you can't find me due to timezone differences then try sending an email via the contact form on stopfilelockers.com

This site has had it's Paypal account terminated.

Keep up the good work adultking you are fucking awesome!

sick of all these mother fucking pirates and indians posting locker links

Keep in mind we have a small group of dedicated people working on this behind the scenes in our collaboration system, so they are awesome too!

You guys fucking rock!

Great job guys.

Another http://flyfiles.net/

Damn, all these file lockers site rips and payment methods are gone. Look like I just might have to pay for a site membership. LOL.

My latest: Jesse Loads Monster Facials
(I should add the above link warns of malware but it's fine, something happened to the network of servers from reliablehosting) Still worth checking out as there are some great facials on the site.

Bump.

Fileprohost.com lost yet another Paypal account this week (5th or 7th I just lost count), and finally gave up. This site is for sale on Flippa now:

https://flippa.com/2792349-1200-reve...-million-views

Fileuplo.de and Filehost.ws filelockers also lost their Paypal accounts this week. Filehost.ws cannot process payments at all ATM, they only offer premium memberships through several resellers.

We should club together, buy it with all the data and start suing the pirates. :thumbsup

$10,000 and they would probably take less, the first batch of letters would recoup this. :thumbsup

It's amazing how many pp accounts some of these guys had on standby. Glad to see PP knocking them down fast though when they come to light.

Once a site has been terminated by Paypal, additional Paypal accounts are very quick to deal with. All the delays are at the start of the process, where the site needs to be investigated.

Some sites have moved to Avangate, which is a software reselling platform based in the Netherlands but with offices in the USA.

Other sites have moved to 3rd party processors like PosOnline in Italy.

All of the above accept MasterCard and Visa.

Keep pressuring MC and Visa...once you get them on board, it's all over for pirate sites.

bastards :mad:

Until they sit up and take notice this will be a hard fight.
