Good effort, these sites suck! Oron has been the worst for us, as soon as the content is taken down new links under the same account are put up!

Stop File Lockers has only been going 43 days. In that time we have seen Paypal removed from over 100 file lockers, some large most small. Obviously they will try to hang on, it might take several months before you see the ones who could not live without Paypal disappear. For those that have moved to other 3rd party payment processors there is another challenge that they face, which is betting their business against the brands of Mastercard and Visa. The time will come where the brand risk for Mastercard and Visa is too great and they are cut loose. Everyone can help in this regard. If you see a repeat copyright infringing file locker using Mastercard or Visa then complain to Mastercard and Visa. If you see unlawful content on such file lockers (such content usually isn't hard to find) then write an email to Mastercard and Visa and complain. The more emails that the card companies get complaining about illegal content on file lockers the more likely it is that someone will take notice. |

Oron is still down from here, but if I run a traceroute instead of the old Leaseweb I now get a trace to goscomb.net (?)
I wonder if they are preparing to return ? |
You might want to be carefull with bombing MC and VISA. They already know what they are up to and harassing them won't do any good.

We leverage brand risk in order to get Paypal and others to act. We have lines of communication open with Mastercard, Visa, American Express and others however this does not mean that they get a pass until they actually start actively terminating relationships. We understand other Anti Piracy groups have different approaches and that is fine, we would encourage complaints to be levelled at Visa and Mastercard until they start becoming as pro-active and communicative as Paypal.

Copy Control was set up to further the fight against commercial copyright infringement on every level. We're working on file lockers now, other forms of infringement aren't off limits to us. We do not have the staffing or resources to run multiple campaigns so we will concentrate on file lockers. This is a shoestring operation, nobody is being paid, it's all volunteered time and effort by multiple people working on the project. We'll keep going as long as the resources we do have don't run out. |

App developers are getting hit real hard by the file lockers. People that develop scripts and design work people get ripped off big time. It's not too hard to find repositories of 5-100 GB of adobe project files or 10 GB of iPhone apps for jailbroken phones (or android especially). Mr. King mingles in adult of course but he has other ventures as well. |

Arguing they're up, is stupid. People steal, then buy. :upsidedow Governments and countries can't afford to keep loosing money to piracy. When a pirate earns money, odds are the producer and the country he lives in, looses some. The only way to stem this is via the money flow. The moment Visa and MC, stop processing for piracy, we take a huge step towards the goal. We will get new laws that will make piracy far less profitable and damaging. |

Would be nice to see AK smash ANY torrent site out there which make bank with premium sms payments.
Difference from PayPal and alike is that it's almost impossible to identify the company behind the phone number since one number is usually used by 100's of companies. Also, there are whole countries using LOCAL filelockers. I live in a country with population of 10 mil people only and there is the PAID torrent tracker which has over 700k active peers. Price per month is about 1 Euro. Minus 50% which goes to the mobile phone company. The guys make over 300k Euro per month! Go try to sue them. Just try, I'm curious if you can even find a english-speaking local lawyer who knows international copyright laws. AK is just trying to punch a wind. Filelockers is such a small part of what's really going on out there. |
^^^^
So you'd rather nothing got done at all and those of us having our content stolen just accept it? |
No, I'm just saying that killing payment options does not kill THE SYSTEM.
|
But it's a start... and has had some effect, pirates bleating about their Oron links and lost revenue and time spent upping to another filelocker/s gives me satisfying wood.
|
What AK will achieve is that direct downloads for money will be changed to p2p downloads for free. A few banners here and there and a popunder will monetize such sites just fine since there will be almost no bandwidth costs comparing to FL.

What you've just described is something like what the situation was several years ago... when we (i.e. honest webmasters) were making a hell of a lot more money. . |

Take away their payment options and they'll scurry off like the roaches they are. What will then remain will be only a faint shadow of the problem as we now know it. . |
They will become just a different version of current Tube problem. Why don't you understand that?

Ultrafiles.com file locker got their Paypal account terminated today.
http://ultrafiles.com/premium.html |
Lesson number one: don't underestimate the other guy's greed.
|
Ihostia.com and Megashare.com file lockers were terminated by Paypal.
Easybytez.com got their Paypal account closed too, but they're still able to accept Paypal through Paymentwall. That will be taken care of next week. Uplly.com file locker was terminated by 2CO. |

I say BRAVO guys!

It is about money
Does anyone seriously think that people are sitting around all day doing uploads of video content to file share sites for free?
No - the sites that AdultKing and StopFileLockers are going after are those that pay people to upload content and then charge others to view that content. What part of that are the trolls on here not getting? These types of sites aren't just stealing content, they are actually PROFITING off of stolen content. It's like someone breaking into your house, stealing your TV and selling it to some guy from the back of his van . . . Only this is worse. Why? Because you would never make money from that TV they stole and sold, while with content you are trying to support yourself and the ability to make more content to sell. I can only assume that anyone that doesn't understand why what StopFileLockers is doing is a good thing, is not a content producer, or makes no money from content. What really pisses me off, is these uploaders, and the sites that support them, are so short sighted: If the producer can't afford to make new content because they can't sell what they already made, then were will the new content pirates profit from come from? Kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, and you end up with no golden eggs. LOL |

When you have skin in the game and are actually putting your own time, effort, money, and risk into a labor of love...then HELL YES what Adult King is doing is fucking awesome. As for folks who have never even been on a porn set...they always seem to have theories about how this business works. And they are always wrong. |
Quote:
I'm not saying this for all paysites/webmasters because it is not all, but many sites do that and it ends up giving every paysite and adult co a bad name because of the bad taste left in peoples mouths from there other experiences. I can even say that myself from personal experience. People don't care about how a porn is made or whatever, they want quality results for a fair price and proper service for their money regardless of what industry it is. Online has far too many get rich quick guys trying to make a quick buck. |

Those of us who really love what we do and are looking to create something that we think is really good...have no interest in trying to pull any stupid stunts. And always keep this in mind...assholes and scumbags are everywhere. There are PLENTY of people out there who deliberately join pay sites and steal everything and then do a fucking chargeback at the end of the day. As far as pricing goes...yeah, I guess people who weren't adults before the internet just do not understand how fucking cheap a $30 paysite membership with tons of videos and pictures is compared to how it was for decades before. Back then you had to first actually live somewhere that HAD an adult bookstore...and then you paid $50 for a single vid title with maybe 7 scenes on it. Or $5 for a magazine with 21 pictures in it. Fuck that. The crappiest paysite on Earth is still a bargain in comparison. It doesn't give people any excuses to steal. |
