so if you aren't sharing it, then how do you know who is actually downloading? i don't claim to know a ton about torrents, but it seems to me you could connect to the tracker and not upload/download anything.

is that illegal?

I'll let you know how it all works when we are done collecting about 500,000 ips

that's basically how they do it, collect ip addresses via checking trackers and the seeders/uploaders.

Suing _any_ downloader is what I have a problem with..

I remember you guys actually bought pornbb dot com...or was it pornbb dot net.. from Erratic some time ago (for $5K) and were redirecting traffic to your site. Funny how memory fades over time.

I just saw this comment on a board from a file sharer, I hope his attitude catches on.

Quote:

"Well, the thing is that people who file share or stream porn are not their customers, seeing as they're stealing their products, so why shouldn't they sue them?

I'll be the first one to admit I don't purchase porn, I stream and share, but I can definitely see where the porn industry is coming from. This is their living, after all. And frankly, I'm thinking of buying more often just to keep them alive. I need me some Lauren Pheonix and Alexis Texas."

And you don't think the comment sounds completely planted?

Also, I didn't realise Lauren Phoenix was still making new stuff.

Whoa, I guess Steve is right about some of the vitriol on this website. I have been likened to Hitler and a Jew on the same thread. You have to admit the irony there.

Anyway, as I posted in another thread, our first illegal down loader/pirate from Steve's suit just settled. I would presume that since I went from filing a lawsuit for Steve to getting the first $ in less than 30 days means I know something about being a lawyer.

I have a question for the people who are so pro-piracy on this website. What are your occupations / connections to adult content production. I hope to hear some honest feedback, especially if someone who really creates content thinks going after down loaders is wrong. I already know why pirates don't like me, I might get their IP next.

We are pulling about 100 IP's an hour right now . . .

Huh? thousands and thousands of names?

No, you have thousands and thousands of IPs - you of all people know that the procedure to convert IPs to names is long-winded, slow and expensive.

Steve has already publicly admitted in another thread that the site rips that you are tracking to harvest IPs to send out demands for payment ended up on the torrents by his own hand, in so much as he sent them to review sites freely and one of them seeded them to the torrents.

It would have been less work, although less profitable to have tagged those site rips extremely easily before sending them out so that you could have found out and sued the person responsible for seeding it in the first place.

Logic has no place where money is to be made.

I never said I *seeded* anything. I've never actually used a torrent system. What I did say is that people grabbed all the zip files off our sites, which I provide to my members because the review sites mark down sites that don't.

my bad sorry - I read that post as you provided the zip files to the review sites. Purely because you employ anti-siterip scripts, which kinda is useless if you offer your site in zip file to members anyway.

Sorry, I misunderstood. And at 9:30am, I'm not drunk posting!

so you actually won a judgement against someone making a full fair use arguement
or you successfully blackmailed someone into giving you money because they didn't want their porn surfing habits exposed.

There is a huge difference between the two.

you suit as documented is going to set a very dangerous precedent when you actually face a real copyright lawyer.

also, all you will do is drive the torrent users deeper underground where they cant be found..

there are private sites out there that have thousands of users that have anything you could ever want available for download... from software to $5000 im products to any video produced in the last decade...

as posted before, you are only going to make the legal team money...

your efforts would be better spent producing new content and protecting it...

hear nothing, see nothing do nothing. Just move along and watch from the side.

Let us know when the first case actually goes through a court. Far more interested in the outcome of that than 1:5000 making an out-of-court settlement.

Many users are paying up. It wasn't "a case" it was many.

because the doc lied, i sent him the email, he thought i was going to show him shit that he already knew, realized he had agreed to do all the work, and give me 50% so he pretended he never got it so he could back out of the deal.

if he really wanted to do the deal, he would have agreed to my condition that the deal would go forward as i originally agreed (he handles 100% of the day to day operations) if i posted the screen shot.

he refused to agree,after he tried to turn the deal into a standard affiliate relationship (i handle all the day to day operations of everything )

Paul Markham · 11-07-2010, 11:47 AM

I think this woman wishes she had never downloaded pirated content.

http://www.news.com.au/technology/si...-1225948322250

How did she find the money to fight it for so long?

TheMaster · 11-08-2010, 09:31 PM

http://www.news.com.au/technology/si...-1225948322250

"Single mum ordered to pay $1.5m for illegally downloading 24 songs"
"She was ordered to pay $62,500 for each of the 24 songs, a total of $1.5 million"

how anyone can think that's an appropriate punishment is beyond me

so when you're rich you can get away with murder, but when you're not you can be slapped with a $62.500 fine for downloading a song, utter insanity and you wonder why some people snap

to put this in perspective: this will totally destroy her life, now if she had robbed a shop or even held up a shop, she would be out in maximum a few years and be able to continue her life

let alone all those bank CEO's that destroyed 100 of thousands if not millions of people's lifes over the last few years they get no punishment

Jesus Christ man you're so lost in your own bullshit, it's just funny to read your version of events now... pure entertainment.

Best part is, everyone that saw that thread - including crazytrini85, knows without question that you're full of complete shit. Then again, every time you post, people know it's complete bullshit.

doc your flip flop is actually publically available on this board

you went from agreeing to handling all the day to day operations of the site

to expecting me to handle the day to day operations, of the tracker, of all the torrent submissions, of all the tube submission etc.

I've worked with him, nothing but a straight up dude.

Why are YOU the only person he's lied to?

I, along with a lot of other people, have asked this before and you gotten no reply, but it bears asking again. Just show us the proof that you sent the email. You should easily be able to open up the email, screen shot the full header which will have the time and date on it and post that. You have been asked for this a million times, but never post it. Now you claim not only did you send it but that The Doc is the one backing out. Clearly that is bullshit unless you can prove that you sent the email.

I don't want to get back into the fight, clearly it is over and the deal is never going to happen, but just show some proof that you sent the email and maybe you will regain 1 tiny shred of credibility.
