We are very keen to start cleaning up what's left of the file locker industry, however to do this we need the support of rights holders. Only by going in to battle with a good number of rights holders being infringed will we be able to knock over the remaining large sites.
We scrupulously use every possible means to impact and disrupt pirates, forcing them into a continual process of moving hosts, payment providers and monetization methods until they run out of options and can no longer operate. IP Rights Holders can now become represented by us (Copy Control) so we can help you mitigate piracy of your content. Representation by Copy Control is not a replacement for your current DMCA arrangements, rather it's complimentary to them. What we do is actively enforce your rights by working with web hosting companies, payment processing companies, banks, card associations, advertising networks and other service providers to have them stop working with the pirates and their sites. Where organisations are un-cooperative we have a number of legal strategies that we employ to gain compliance. We also liaise with law enforcement agencies and other government agencies to mitigate piracy on your behalf. To get your company , brand or content represented by Copy Control we ask that you fill out this simple form. http://copycontrol.org/get-represented/ once you fill out this form I will send you a copy of our rights-holder representation agreement for you to sign and return back to us. you can also read about what representation will do for you at http://copycontrol.org/services/ We work on a cost recovery basis so the fees for representation are quite low and if you can't afford them we'll work with you to come up with a fee which suits your budget. Small rights holders would pay around $500 per year (or $50 per month), Mid sized rights holder companies would pay around $1000 per year (or $100 per month) and large rights holders would pay around $3500 per year or ($350 per month). This is very expensive and labor intensive work, we need to charge fees to recover the costs of what we are doing. Representation is non exclusive. Becoming represented by Copy Control should not impact any other relationships you have with DMCA agents, legal services, attorneys or investigators. We are a complimentary service to all of these types of organisations. If you have any questions about becoming represented by us please email me at members -at- copycontrol.org |
The whole thought about picture posting here...
Please remember - the photos are coming from public sites, such as Facebook. The parties in them have zero expectation of privacy when posting the photos there, Myspace, and other sites. They made the choice, in advance, of putting their photos (or that of their wives, friends, criminal associates) out in public. If they wish to keep their name, and that of their associates, out of a free speech discussion about piracy, my sole suggestion would be to not be a pirate. A paragraph from a piracy blog I wrote 3 years ago fits here... "In 1719 the Pirate Blackbeard (Edward Thatch / Teach) was decapitated in a battle with the determined men working with English pirate hunter Lieutenant Robert Maynard. When Maynard, and the crew of his ship "The Adventure", returned to Hampton Roads they had Blackbeard's head still hanging from the bowsprit as a warning to others. Upon docking Maynard presented Blackbeard's head to Governor Spotswood, who had it suspended from a tall pole on the west side of the Hampton River at a place now known as Blackbeard's Point, as a ghoulish admonition to would-be pirates." Like in 1719, pirates need to be hung in public. Its the anonymous nature of their game that protects them. Take it away and we are much closer to winning a few battles. We all know the pirates will do whatever it takes to get away with their acts. We, as content owners / producers, have no choice but to fight back with all means we have available. If it means exposing their names in public - so be it - because we must always remember THEY started this war. THEY are the bad guys. THEY are the ones trying to reach across the Internet and stick their dirty, smelly, fat fingers in the mouth of my children and take their food away. Some softies in this thread seem to think content owners need to fight, but only very nicely, to protect themselves and their families from pirates. I have more respect for my own family than that and intend to continue "fighting fire with fire" (or a bigger fire). The pirates have never once asked me if it would affect my ability to feed my children if they steal from me and my business. Does anybody here think I should let my family suffer so the family of the pirate doesn't suffer? The pirates - and only the pirates - put themselves in the position of having their names listed as jerks, assholes, pirates and criminals. They did so with the full knowledge that their acts violate laws and the risk that places on their own families. THEY made that choice. Let them - and by extension their families - hang here on GFY, and on any other sites in which they can be hung. James Grady d/b/a Jimmy Stephans 40 W. Littleton BL Littleton, CO.

The corporations, agencies and organisations I deal with daily don't care for emotion driven argument, they care about facts and the strength of evidence supporting a case. While I have no objection to naming names and shaming where appropriate, I see no benefit from being vitriolic or emotional about the issue. My key objective is to shut down piracy cold. Since we started this project more than 600 sites have lost one or more forms of payment processing, more than 100 have been wiped from the Internet, several investigations are underway, two prosecutions pending and some civil actions at planning stages. I post nothing in this thread that doesn't come from cold, considered calculation. This is the best way to be, because when we hit a pirate I wan't them to wonder what hell happened and for it to inflict as much damage to their operation as possible. |

I still think this is a personal crusade. |
Over the next few weeks we shall be paying extra attention to prepaid payment methods such as Ukash.
These services present obvious challenges, however we do not believe that payment services like Ukash are immune when it comes to supporting piracy services and sites. |

I'm glad to see Eric even being a GFY moderator respect the privacy of a person and his family no matter what they guy did. I applaud that.
I'm not really seeing this as a personal crusade, more of a very well paid for attack or an attempt to take whatever resources that person owns under control to continue doing the same thing. This info has appeared on another site weeks ago and AK was never mentioned there. Hey DWB, I've read your posts and your attitude is shameful and disgusting, God knows what kind of filth you do or film with these "models" from underdeveloped countries famous for heinous sex tourism practices, the one on your avatar looks well not very old at all. Why don't you post up your photo and an address so folks could come visit you? Adult King finally did what everybody has expected him to, turned this witch hunt into a business. I have to give it to you AK, this is a brilliant scheme. Scare crap out of some file hosts, make some quit, hurt some big ones, make a quick name for yourself and people follow. 3500$ a year for what? What do you mean by representation? Are you a legal professional? Are you some kind of law enforcement? How is your business licensed and where? I'm not a lawyer but I doubt what you do is even legal. On top of all of this you seem very selective in your work. Any pimple faced kid can take PayPal away from a fresh host started up by another pimple faced kid and I again gotta give it to you for taking it away from Deposit Files but for example Hotfile and Crocko both enjoy PayPal benefits. I'd also would be thrilled to see you try and hurt RapidShare. Many people here keep asking if you are going against the tubes who sell pirated content left and right and those questions are largely ignored. The graph you posted that shows 1% decrease in piracy is laughable, 1% is within statistical error margin. In other words, despite all the noise you've made and all the hosts you shut down or made their life miserable the actual impact on piracy has been almost 0. If you just want to use this and this thread as your ad space, why don't you just buy a banner and stop spamming the board. I'm sorry but I don't see a selfless man acting here, I see a chase for profits, double standards and inconsistencies, you can dismiss my comment out right, but I don't think I'm alone thinking like that even among this community. Whatever you're doing is not a solution to get rid of piracy. I think you just clearing up the field for a bigger player we all don't yet see coming. |

Secondly we operate on a cost recovery basis and we are a long way from recovering costs. Copy Control was formed very early on, it was documented publicly, it's been referred to in this and other threads. We've clearly laid out what we do, however I am glad to repeat it 1. Issue written correspondence to third parties (?Infringers?) who are infringing the Owner?s IP, including but not limited to, DMCA take down notices, infringement notices and/or cease and desist letters; 2. Request that third parties, including without limitation, payment processors, web hosting companies, ISPs, DNS server providers and domain registrars (?Service Providers?), take necessary steps to prevent infringement of the rights embodied in the Owner?s IP, including without limitation shutting down Infringers? websites or merchant facilities on Infringers? websites; 3. Make complaints to and liaise with law enforcement bodies with regard to infringement of the rights embodied in the Owner?s IP; 4. Generally represent the Owner to commercial, non profit and government bodies with respect to the ownership and protection of the Owner?s IP; 5. Undertake other reasonable steps as Copy Control considers necessary to prevent or cease infringement of the rights embodied in the Owner?s IP. What we do is entirely legal, we have our own legal team, we have forensic accounting services, we comply with the letter of the law. Our representation agreement was formulated by one of the best boutique IP law firms in Australia. We also have very good established ongoing dialogue with several law enforcement agencies around the world and an excellent working relationship with several payment processing companies. Quote:

We are currently expanding the scope of our operations, you will see us targeting much more than just file lockers as time goes on. We are working to get rights holders represented right now, as we build representation we will have the ability to go after more forms of piracy. Quote:

It seems to be in the interests of those involved with piracy to smear us. The fact is that nobody has been paid other than the lawyers, accountants and service providers. We have several people who volunteer large amounts of their time into this effort and I for one have worked around the clock pretty much since late June when this started without receiving one cent. To say that we are clearing the way for a bigger piracy player is ridiculous, it just shows the length to which those opposed to our effort will go to tarnish our work. |

Those saying that file lockers are not a huge problem should be aware of these figures:
According to the Google Transparency report: filestube.com, the file locker search engine, ranks number one amongst all websites for takedown notices this week. File Lockers: Rapidgator ranks 14th. Zippyshare ranks 17th. ExtaBit, RYUShare, Uploaded follow not long after. We still have a lot of cleaning up to do to finally get rid of these sites. |
I guess that spam in your book is legit.. what a joke.

Piracy on forums connected to the Simon Leht, Simon Vega, Simon Key piracy ring accounts for a huge number of links to file lockers and supplies traffic to a wide range of sites from ad spots they sell right here on GFY
https://gfy.com/showthread.php?t=1089068 https://gfy.com/showthread.php?t=1083895 https://gfy.com/showthread.php?t=1081847 We will soon be contacting every site linked to or advertised from all sites connected to the Simon Leht/Simon Vega/Simon Key piracy network, those that do not terminate their association with these piracy sites will be listed in this thread. We'd warn people not to deal with trademeister or kaktuz for risk of being associated with piracy. Some of the sites connected to this piracy ring are: 1800freecams.com 4greedy.com adultcashier.com adultdesigncontest.com commentswow.com datefree.com dnswin.com fritchy.com fvx.com gamesdr.com glam0ur.com hdv19.com hdvboobs.com hdvteenz.com layoutswow.com libertyofmind.com massdestraction.com myspacenotifier.com myspacetweaks.com nudecelebforum.com pimpandhost.com planetsuzy.com plsthx.com potornot.com profiletweaks.com revilio.com ringosaur.com sexymette.com siteownersforums.com smilesofortune.com stonerarcade.com ufobe.com unhealthy.com vamateur.com vintage-erotica-forum.com ycum.com yoozah.com fu.net planetsuzy.net sexthe.net disloyal.org gayheaven.org planetsuzy.org camleak.com filesor.com filezdb.com forumsigmaker.com kaktuz.com kaktuz.net adyea.com albumwash.com babeforums.org disloyal.org donogo.com doolls.org IQ69.com kaktuz.com linkmafia.com myfreeholidaycards.com plsthx.com TASTEFULCELEBS.COM yoursexgames.com iq69.com wjunction.com It's easy to inadvertently deal with pirates, so we will be stepping up our efforts to educate site owners about the bad actors in this industry and helping people avoid piracy. |

In the past 12 years I've seen that free and more free porn grew up to be the tubes we know today with major players, I have no doubt that the file share sites will grow up to be huge with major players, imho you will not stop this and no one will, they will just get better and better. Hell I have 100's of my own exclusive videos spread around the web in all tube sites and file share sites, thing is I don't care anymore. And sure Simon is my "mate" I know him for 10+ years.

Let's look at xhamaster.com. Since 2011, Google processed 297 take down requests for indexed content on the site, removing some 6,647 urls. Now lets look at PlanetSuzy.org. Since 2011, Google processed 5,721 take down requests for indexed content on the site, removing some 51,247 urls. The extent of the piracy related to xhamster.com in the above example was limited to xhamster.com however the extent of piracy on PanetSuzy.org can be traced to 421 other sites with a combined number of takedowns since 2011 of 1,892,532 urls. PlanetSuzy.org, since 2011, has been key in the eco system responsible for the copyright infringement of approximately $350 million dollars worth of content. This is based on the average value of each piece of content shared being approximately $19. If you were to translate that into lost revenue for the content owners if even 1/3rd of people consuming the pirate content actually purchased the content rather than obtain it via your friend's website then we have a total loss of approximately $5.7 Billion in lost sales. So don't try to tell me that xhamster is more of a problem than PlanetSuzy, because PlanetSuzy is responsible for the sharing of an order of magnitude more content than xhamster.com. Forums and the file locker eco system are devastating for content producers, your friends blatantly involve themselves with the theft of millions of dollars worth of content and make money from doing so. They are criminals. Now furthering the comparison between xhamster.com and Planetsuzy.org, xhamster complied with 92% of DMCA notices that we have seen since we started collecting data. PlanetSuzy have complied with 0% Who's the worst pirates, xhamster or PlanetSuzy.com ? |

The RIAA has submitted a new list of ?notorious websites? to the U.S. Government, sites that the labels would like to see disappear . The list includes all major torrent sites, cyberlockers such as RapidShare, and so-called linking sites. The music group acknowledges that most sites respond to takedown requests, but says it?s tired of playing ?cat and mouse? with the site?s users who simply re-upload the infringing files.
In a response to a request from the Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR) in August, the RIAA has submitted its list of ?notorious markets? for 2012. The RIAA and other rightsholders compile this list every year and not without success. The music group credits the Government?s efforts as contributing to the demise of BTJunkie, Demonoid, Megaupload and other ?pirate? sites. ?We want to take a moment to reflect on the fact that thanks in large part to the efforts of the US Government in highlighting illicit practices, some of the notorious markets that we identified in last year?s submission no longer feature in this filing,? the RIAA?s Neil Turkewitz begins. But despite these successes, the piracy problem isn?t going away. The record labels have therefore compiled a new list of ?notorious? websites which they say profit from direct or indirect copyright infringement. The list zooms in on several file-sharing portals including BitTorrent sites described as ?high priority pirate markets.? The RIAA admits that many of the popular BitTorrent sites do take links down when they are asked to, but these takedown requests don?t have the desired effect as the content can simply be re-uploaded by the site?s users. ?One of the principal problems with the use of take down notices for BitTorrent indexing sites is that the same infringing material can easily be, and usually is, very quickly reposted to the site,? RIAA writes. This issue is complicated further by the existence of many similar files under different URLs. The RIAA wants to end this ongoing ?cat and mouse? game and would like BitTorrent sites to take proactive measures to ensure that infringing files are not added to their service to begin with. ?As a result, copyright owners are forced into an endless ?cat and mouse? game, which requires considerable resources to be devoted to chasing infringing content, only for that same infringing content to continually reappear.? ?For that reason, BitTorrent site operators should take proactive measures to stop indexing torrents,? RIAA writes, hinting at automatic filters of infringing files. The worst offending BitTorrent sites according to the RIAA are The Pirate Bay, isoHunt, Torrentz, KickassTorrents, BitSnoop, SumoTorrent, Torrenthound, BTMon, ExtraTorrent, Fenopy, LimeTorrents and TorrentReactor. The Pirate Bay is reported as particularly problematic, and it?s one of the few sites that does not respond to take down requests from copyright holders. The RIAA further informs the Government that the site continues to operate despite criminal convictions against its former operators. ?Despite the final criminal convictions and successful civil litigation in Sweden, the site is still active and thought to be the most popular BitTorrent site in the world, with nearly 6 million registered users uploading and making content available to over 26 million users. The world?s most popular films and music can be instantly downloaded via the service,? the RIAA writes. Interestingly, the RIAA also says that it?s monitoring the use of a free VPN service that was supposedly launched by The Pirate Bay earlier this year, not realizing that it was merely an advertisement. ?In August 2012, it was reported that The Pirate Bay had launched a new ad-supported VPN service, PrivitizeVPN, the purpose of which is to enable users to ?cloak? their IP address when using file sharing services to make enforcement more difficult. This service is in its early stage and usage is being monitored.? Besides BitTorrent sites the RIAA also lists several linking sites and cyberlockers as piracy havens. The appearance of RapidShare is most surprising as the Swiss cyberlocker has undertaken tremendous efforts to curb piracy in recent months. The RIAA suggests that the owners of cyberlockers should proactively filter infringing files as well, in addition to responding to take down requests. The group points out that some services do this already, naming Hulkshare as an example. ?To a limited extent, rights holders can begin to tackle these infringements through take down notices sent to the locker service provider. However, rights holders cannot locate content stored on a locker service unless and until it is made available to the public ? which is done via a third-party link,? RIAA writes. ?The locker service itself would clearly be better placed to locate infringing content on its own servers (there are technologies available that would assist) and to take appropriate action,? they add. While not stated specifically, it appears that the RIAA views all file-hosting and sharing sites as piracy havens unless they employ a proactive filtering mechanism. This is in line with the music industry?s global anti-piracy strategy which leaked a few months ago. In the coming month the Office of the US Trade Representative is expected to publish its own overview of notorious markets. This review is expected to include many of the sites mentioned above. http://torrentfreak.com/riaa-bittorr...tively-121114/ |

haw haw haw! & back to page one where this belongs! Talking of shit stains, this pirate in the spanking niche is a real pain to many of us hard pressed producers, uses stolen cards to sign up and steal content (had 2 when I traced the movies uploaded this week) and posts images on his own shitty little image site as a base for showing his wares. http://www.spankpics.info/spankalot/ well known at all the usual places like planetsuzy and extreme board etc |
Today we commenced action which we think will see several pre-paid cash card providers fall into line and begin to terminate relationships with piracy sites.
Many pre-paid cash card services are regulated by the very same legislation that regulates Paypal and Credit Cards in several jurisdictions. Up until now companies like Ukash have operated with impunity, however they're now being asked to act in situations where their service is being utilised by commercial pirates. I'd also like to remind rights holders to become represented by Copy Control. You can read about how in this thread: https://gfy.com/showthread.php?t=1089055 As we expand the range of mitigation activities that we are taking against commercial piracy it's imperative that we are representative of a broad group of rights holders. |

You can find some good examples of blatant violations with ease: porn-w.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4492518&view=next All your work did not really change the piracy scene as much as you claim to be hoping to. The major players are out there, continue to have good traffic and I'm sure nice sales too. Check this out: planetsuzy.org/t625483-missy-dawn.html Debunks your opinion regarding RapidShare (who in my opinion are simply squeezing more money out of this thing). It is understandable why you are not touching the Hotfile, because your employers who own sites like Tube8, YouPorn, Extreme Tube, PornHub told you not to, as Tube8 for example was created by the Hotfile founder and of course they are either friends or partners, ain't it so? Regarding Crocko it actually looks like you might have an interest in that one as they generally have been ignored by you despite anything. |

It is in your interest to try and undermine our work, however since we started more than 600 sites have lost one or more forms of payment processing and more than 100 sites no longer exist with a further 200 - 300 sites probably going to disappear as they run out of money. Every week more terminations and dead sites are listed in this thread. This will continue, some weeks there will be more terminations and dead sites than others, but nothing will stop the campaign and nothing will stop us attacking piracy at every point we can. |
