Haters and upload monkeys. But you know you are hitting them somewhere or they would have no reason to openly oppose what you are doing, especially if they didn't have a dog in the fight, as they all claim.

Rapidshare wants a crackdown on linking sites.

Maybe they can share a double with Paul and Damian, that schtick is getting real old too. :helpme

That just goes to show you that you don't know what you're taking about. Take down a big tube or two and I bet you see a jump in sales. How do I know this, well, if you remember not too long ago when an ISP got hacked and xvideos went offline people noticed a jump in sales as soon as it happened. AK has been working on this for over a month and not a single person has come back and been able to prove an increase in sales attributed to the file lockers losing their processing.

Where is the proof that this is a fake nick?

Naysayers come with the territory when one takes up a leadership role- which is what they see you as having done.

That being said, you shouldn't respond to their reactions with hostility or in a dismissive manner.

If their issues are legitimate to them then they're legitimate issues.

Calling names (upload monkey) questioning their motives etc. is begging to have your operation come under the same scrutinity- presumptions, childishness and so on.

I mean, if you're leading a campaign which doesn't provide verifiable pecuniary advantages to your supporters, they're going to wonder what you're actually doing.

Take them down then champ.

If what AK is doing is useless why do you give a fuck, leave him the file lockers and you can take on the tubes big guy.

Please reply to this AK

Unless you can somehow link the Paypal email to a breach of Paypal's AUP or TOS I'm not sure we can do anything.

http://fileswer.com/premium.html

http://www.wjunction.com/101-affiliate-programs - atleast 5000 file hostings and 100+ new post intro thread everyday.

Fileswer.com was reported to Paypal a little while ago, we will follow it up again.

We know about wjunction and several other forums which we review regularly.

We send reports to Paypal regularly about these sites, some keep coming back with Paypal accounts they have had on ice, it's very much a game of whack a mole.

uploaders crying.

http://www.wjunction.com/95-file-hos...3-1000-a-9.htm

Just following up on this.

We reported this site to Paxum on the 17th. The site appears to still accept Paxum.

We've sent a follow up to Paxum today.

He gives a fuck because AK is hitting him in is wallet. That much is obvious. No one would post as much as him in such a negative manner unless he was at the receiving end of an ass kicking. An honest person would have no problem with what AK is doing.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck... it's a duck. :2 cents:

"Innovation in the cloud" lol. Is Gigeongallery their speechwriter now?

In the words that appear to the right of it.

Any more questions?


.

Sweet. Thanks for your hard work AK & CopyControl! I think my stats went up by a 1/2 a sale today.

Did you find a new porn forum to post your links on or something?

Amazing how many who profess to have no dog in this hunt seem so butt hurt.

BTW DWB nice new avatar ;)

Good job AK :)

Well said
 

People don't tend to be against things that they personally benefit from. ;) In this case, a win for the producers of content is a lose for those that profit/benefit from piracy. It's rather simple to put the nay sayers into the camp of "profiting/benefiting" from piracy. Of course, there are always those few that just post crap for sig whoring and to be a pain in the ass. LOL

Bump for AK and Copy Control killing even more and more filelockers...

on a serious note though. Sorry, all kidding aside.

How many filelockers have been killed exactly? I can't seem to find 1? Let me know pls.
kthxbye.
:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Sites like RapidShare herald the fact they provide content removal tools to rights holders, however this seems to shift the responsibility of policing content on a site.

If there were 10,000 file lockers with 10,000 content removal tools then the onerous task of policing content would be unmanageable.

File Lockers must be held accountable for the content they host, not shift the responsibility to rights holders who's content is being stolen.

http://yro.slashdot.org/story/12/08/...-sharing-sites

Rapidshare could very quickly minimise harm to rights holders by simply deleting content which is shared on warez and piracy forums. Remove the incentive to share illegal content.

Are you suggesting that file lockers should manually inspect each and every single file uploaded? If I was using an online backup service such as a file locker the last thing I would want is people going through my personal files.

Maybe we should let the government inspect every single aspect of our lives on a day to day basis making sure we do not break the law. It's about time governments be held responsible for the actions of their population. If a person murders someone then their government is murdering someone to. This insanity needs to stop!

File Lockers don't need to manually inspect every file to find violations. You don't think a file name like "Young_Girl_Hight_School_16_Year_Old.part11.ra r" can be filtered against their appearance on illegal porn forums as this file was derived ?

It's actually not hard for File Lockers to automate the removal of a large amount of illegal and infringing files with a bit of creativity and terms and conditions which protect legitimate use of their service against illegitimate use.

However if they did that then they might not be so profitable. File Lockers aren't making their money from you uploading a midi file you share with a few friends, they're making money from thousands of people joining to download copyright or illegal content.

LOL, he wants the filehost to inspect files, and then not have DMCA safe harbor by doing so.
wizard.:1orglaugh

Most file lockers, in fact pretty much all of them, don't have DMCA safe harbour because the DMCA is a US Law and these sites reside outside of US jurisdiction. Furthermore, if you read my post above, you would understand that filtering and automating the process need not be difficult.

File Lockers who accept Paypal and have gone through Paypal verification as a file locker already allow inspection of their files, so nothing would change if they did do it manually.

Blah blah blah...
Hate, hate, hate...

On a serious note, while it is nice if they do, a file locker doesn't have to go offline. You simply only need to disrupt their affiliate program. When the monkeys are not getting paid, they stop uploading illegal material to that locker and move on to the next one. Like true monkeys, they swing vine to vine. But if you cut the vines off, one at a time, you are making progress.

If you want to see the damage done, go read the upload monkey forums. They are freaking out and not getting paid. No need to take the site offline.

It is honestly mind boggling that you naysayers don't have the mental capacity to understand this. Makes me wonder how you make it through the day without causing serious bodily harm to yourself.

As if they need US gov to block those linking sites through htaccess.

Previosly they boasted that they developed some very advanced bot which is so intelligent it's next to AI, and that this bot is constantly searching for pirates and finds and blocks them all. Well, now that this super smart AI bot ovbiously failed, they're looking for help of the US gov to crack down on linking sites.

Meanwhile any person who isn't US gov and doesn't have ultrasmart AI bots can simply Google "rapidshare warez" and find dozens of sites with the absurd amount of rapidshare links pointing to illegal content. Why can't Rapidshare do they same, and block at least some the most obvious offenders such as warez-bb through htaccess? They also have their referrer stats so they probably wouldn't even need Google to find those warez sites, at least several dozens of the biggest offenders, and block them. And also remove all files that were linked from those sites, ban posters and remove everything else that they uploaded. That move alone would cut piracy at Rapidshare by at least half, and will send a strong signal to all illegal uploaders not to use Rapidshare anymore. It can be done easily, in about a week or less. No US gov help or AI bots necessary. Any person from their in-house staff can handle that. Why do we keep hearing "innovation in the cloud" nonsense instead of real action? Well isn't that obvious :pimp

Pirates and their shit talks are beyond ridiculous.

Give him a bro-hug

Not totally sure this is relevant to this thread but firstload.com which is advertising on http://www.filestube.com (a filelocker search engine) - with keywords that refer to stolen copyrighted content - is still using CCBILL as a payment processor !!! Just take a look on filestube.com' first 3 sponsored links and you'll see that firstload is charging access to Usenet with CCBILL (with the same keywords used by pirates to promote their links on Filelockers).

https://www.firstload.com/signup/ccbill_cc/index.php

Here's an interesting exchange we had with them:

@Alex911

There's no doubting that Usenet is a cess pool of piracy but given the nature of Usenet it's problematic from the point of view of preventing piracy. Certainly Usenet is way outside of the scope of the Stop File Lockers project.

Have you spoken with CCBill about their stance on the issue ?

Yes but firstload.com is still advertising stolen content on a Filelocker search engine! And using ccbill for processing...

Yes but with the general support, not with the fraud dpt (and it was before CCBILL decided to reject filelockers accounts).

Why give a bro-hug when a bro-bump is better? It keeps the thread alive and in the faces of guys who can't stand it but don't have enough self control to not post repeatedly in the thread.

Actually, no its not. Clearly you do not know how shit works because if you did you'd realize that usenet providers can drop news group.

Bro bump to give you a bro butt hurt? You know you like the butt hurt.

You assume way too much, so eager are you to make snide comments that you jump to baseless conclusions.

Firstly, my first exposure to Usenet was in the 80's when I used to manage a UUCP connected news server. Secondly you can drop any number of groups and people will just shift to alternative ones. Thirdly just because one Usenet provider drops a group doesn't guarantee others will and due to the rapid propagation of Usenet posts it's almost impossible to shut down piracy network wide.

So it is you, Notjoe, who has no clue how things work.
