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.

We'll then see if you can exert some pressure on their revenue sources.

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.

I received the report you sent through the SFL site.

The site in question is using one of a number of third party processors we're currently talking to about the problem.

Rapidgator are making a serious error of judgement if they think that this behaviour is without consequences. Watch this space.




I agree. We have our hands full dealing with infringing file lockers. We're not going into the business of approving sites. If you're legitimately legal then you have nothing to fear from the Stop File Lockers project.

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.

In the past few days we've successfully had 17 file lockers terminated with HiPay.

HiPay have now made the decision not to work with File Lockers.

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?

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

Moneybookers/Skrill
HiPay
AlertPay/Payza
2CO
Paxum
CCBill

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

Paypal have terminated relationships with payments systems:

PaymentWall
CarrotPay

What's you're fucking problem? Do YOU produce content? Do YOU put your ass on the line with the legalities, the time, the effort?

Or are you just another fucking thief who steals everything. Fuck you.

Do you know how serious the DOJ would take them let alone even get a subopoena on the vpn providers who are offshore? Let alone when they don't have the infrastructure setup to log activities as evidence? What happens when the vpn ip is shared by hundreds, you simply have no case. Sure, it might not be impossible to prosecute but the cost/benefit ratio is not worth it, they rather go after unsuspecting Americans who doesn't even know what an IP is (which btw is a lot considering most americans can't even find their country on the map).

i think this thread fails pretty much already. most people have already moved away from filehosts and torrent has most of the good stuff already. you can't take the higher moral ground for producing such filth that is porn. so shit on you sirs.

You must be a very sexually repressed and disturbed person if you find that people having sex is "filth" but nothing is wrong with STEALING.

Fuck you. You are a total clown and indicative of what is wrong in this world.

This is fantastic news. Thanks for all you are doing AK, and the rest of the group shutting down file lockers.

If infringing file lockers are forced into a position of only being able to accept bitcoins then I'd call that a resounding victory, because Joe Public doesn't use Bitcoins, Joe Public hasn't even heard of bitcoins.
