13 tube site uploaders arrested in online porn crackdown

More than a dozen people were booked Oct. 15 on charges involving the mass-distribution of online pornography, police said Sunday.

According to the Seoul Jongam Police Station, a 23-year-old man identified only by his surname, Hwang, was booked on charges of uploading more than 230,000 porn videos on 23 websites over nine months from December through August.

Police say Hwang operated 17 computers in a home in Gwangju Metropolitan City, where he earned a profit of 58 million won ($51,000) by distributing the pornographic content.

He is also accused of misusing other people’s personal information to evade police by creating 27 accounts to upload the videos. The officially jobless man had started the business for easy money, police said, initially uploading videos on Japanese and US websites.

Twelve other alleged “heavy uploaders” of porn were arrested the same day. Police say they made more than 40 million won by distributing over 20,000 pornographic videos.

The authorities have notified the tax administration, which will attempt to retrieve illicit profits amounting to 100 million won, but full redemption seems unlikely as police say most has already been spent.

“Since August, tighter regulations have been enforced regarding heavy porn uploaders and websites where the videos are shared. We are seeking to prolong the special control period, which was slated to end Nov. 20, as there are still more mass-uploaders at large,” the police said.

File locker guys, not tubes

Because porn is illegal there, only reason.

Why would a tube site pay someone to upload videos? It's almost like you've no idea how tube sites operate, lol

It was likely either a pay site program paying them to upload their clips or a webmaster paying them to upload clips watermarked with their cam white label.

Yes anywhere else they would be respected webmasters and win awards :1orglaugh

If it's file lockers in question and not tube sites as nizter mentioned, file lockers pay for downloads so it make sense. Some tube sites do pays for views but very little compared to file lockers.

Not saying it's not true that it's file lockers, but it could be tubes. There are a lot of people that upload videos to tubes with watermarked URLs (which redirect to cams and paysite affiliate links). If you know what you are doing and do it in large scale like these guys did, it still can make good money. I know some guys that get over 10 paysite sales a day by doing this with just 1 computer. This guy had 17 computers running.

230 000 videos....A pirate, so taking him down is a good thing :thumbsup

$$$FOR HIRE$$$ -Manual Tube Uploader- Submitter

Your link doesn't support your claims whatsoever. You're just proving that you're clueless. :winkwink:

Seventeen computers at home. I'd like to see his electric bills!

They didn't nail them on theft or illegal downloading so maybe they paid for memberships. Porn lands you in jail so more charges may be pending. The legit tube sites should help access to those vids to check if their content was posted without watermark or URL

I am willing to bet that he was working for someone on this forum :pimp

I am also willing to bet the movies have probably already been posted on every tubes site 100 times already.

And the only difference is URL watermarks.

:(

I used to have 40. 30 were running fulltime and 10 were reserves for when I need a little extra push for winning top webmaster contests.
