GoFuckYourself.com - Adult Webmaster Forum

I gotta say, this thread is a huge surprise

I'm new to gfy and I clicked on this thread tonight expecting to see endless pages of discussion about how much filelockers suck along with aimless fantasies about them not existing. I did NOT expect to read this thread and see that y'all are actually doing something about filelocker piracy (my presumption was not a reflection on gfy members, but rather based upon observation of people in general, who tend to prefer complaining over action)

huge props, this is a wicked campaign :)

Update (29/08/2012)
The support of Netload responds to our request, "the temporary account lockout came due to a communication error with Paypal, so that no payment could be accepted, the problem has been eliminated by the very good cooperation with Paypal after a short time.". We wait still a response from PayPal.

Update (01/09/2012)
PayPal has apparently locked Netload again. This leaves the file hoster announced "good cooperation" in a somewhat different light. Even now gave users on forums WJunction known, PayPal has blocked the accounts of uploaders because of suspected copyright infringement. We are still waiting to no avail for a reaction of PayPal.

So "PayPal has blocked the accounts of uploaders because of suspected copyright infringement" ? This would be quite a move, StopFileUploaders too? :)

People who receive payments for infringing content are targets.

We're exploring ways with some peer to peer processors of limiting accounts of uploaders who receive payments from terminated merchants. We believe this will provide disincentive to repeat infringers.

While not going into the exact methods we use, we're working hard to identify all participants in the commercial distribution of infringing content.

It is a big job for AK to shut down paypal for sites that are infringing. I know, because I contacted and dmca's paypal every week for months over a filelocker/pirate marriage. No answer. Nothing. Ignored. So if you are saying he is able to shut down paypal for legit sites, I have a difficult time buying that.

RapidGator claims they block files with md5 hash which they have completely lied about. I have submitted takedowns every 24 hours (after everytime theyre taken down and put back up) for files that share the exact same md5 hash string. I dont believe they've banned the user either.

Dear Sir,

Files from your DMCA takedown notice will be deleted in 24 hours.

if you want us to block your content and prevent it from uploading to
our servers in the future by blocking it by Md5 hash, please always
put md5 hash in email subject.

It'll minimise risk that your content is uploaded again and will also
speed up deletion process!

Please let us know if you wish to receive a deletion-confirmation of
the reported files.

If you have other, non DMCA questions, please send your request to
[email protected]

Kind Regards,

Rapidgator.net support

Who cares about "approved" file lockers?
The point of this is to help stop piracy.

Why would anyone "approve" a file locker? Who gives a fuck about file lockers other than the ones who are making a fortune off of pirated content?

adultmobile

09-20-2012 03:57 PM

Well if there's no one file locker that is considered as implementing proper DMCA and so could be taken as example by others, then you are assuming every file locker is illegal and so no any file locker function it can be implemented in any way ever, that is legal.
It needs some legal examples so you can write: "dear filelocker X, you should implement the takedown notice same as whitelisted filelocker Y and Z, or you are illegal".

Sites which monetize infringing content without a serious effort in place to mitigate this are likely to be targeted. It's really not that difficult for a business to know whether or not it's operating within the law.

No, it's not effective when a business has set itself up as an online fence for stolen digital content. Sites like Rapidgator are not serious cloud storage services, they're specifically designed to profit from infringing content. They're criminal operations and need to be addressed as such.

Oh, that's just great.

This would explain why I had to report the same file five times in five consecutive days uploaded by the same user, each time supplying the md5 hash tag in the email and using md5 hash in the title like they instruct in their canned response.

Oron did that... look what happened to them! haw haw haw!

Incidentally AK, without letting the upload monkeys see what I want to post, what's the best way to inform you privately of a filelocker that is ignoring DMCAs completely and basically just taking the piss?
We'll then see if you can exert some pressure on their revenue sources.

You see what megaupload's Kim said "I do same as google", and fileshoppe or so here write he's innocent too. People in this forum may be webmasters so quite understand immediately what it is the truth about a site, but you are in the press and you should describe something like an easy way to describe who's a legal cloud storage, and maybe do a few examples why google drive is different from megaupload. 99% of humans do not know. We're the 1% of geeks who know but this is not the point.

As of now the following payment systems will not accept payments for file lockers:

CCBill

For file lockers to work with Paypal they must become an approved merchant.

Paypal have terminated relationships with payments systems:

I noticed today that 3xupdate has disappeared. One of the things that was unique about this website is that it said it was uploading the movies.

I noticed some pirates talking after I immediately took down their links:

Quote:

That said, those links sure die fast. Have you considered using some kind of link hider or DLC-container? DLC-containers are one way containers. A download program can download but you can't extract the links manually. Only the program sees the actual download links. So without a special program you can't find out the links and can't report them to the site => Links stay alive.

I use cryptload and am very happy with it. But J-Downloader is equally good. Both are freeware and truth be told, they don't just make the links safer and last longer, they make downloading a lot easier. The program downloads automatically. A pop-up appears on your screen when you have to input the next captcha and that's it. You don't have to manually click each single link, don't have to check the clock to see if the 15 minute timer is up...You just load the dlc and enter the captcha when prompted.

So if you go through the work of uploading (much appreciated and thank you), why not use something to keep the links alive longer?

I have yet to look into those pieces of software, if pirates started using something like this, would it hurt? or is there a way to still obtain the link and report?

I’ve used J-downloader before. Been a while though. If I remember you can see the link with that.

Most of your big boards will not let pirates post link shortners or hidden links. Reason being is their board doesn’t get credit for the links that way and they won’t get their 5% cut. The file lockers only give the big boards 1 referrer they can send from :thumbsup

Yes, those who don't know the boards make a percentage off your content too.
