and where you see in the article that they are targetting thieves who, for example, received most dmca records? i see they are targetting top affiliates ... who where said they must be thieves? most dmca received, ok send them to jail ... most made money? cause someone uploaded gigabites of free stuff now he have to wait knocking on the door? come on ... maybe all of them are thieves but the deffinition in the article is wrong ... :2 cents:

There will be more soon :winkwink: This isn't just Hotfile

Nope... would never knowingly be an affiliate of yours. I know how to use gfy search, google, and ask around when I have a general interest in something or someone.

It is no secret on this board that you are now the longest running scammer here that has been called out on several occasions and not yet been banned. Perhaps the proof has been slim, shady, or even non-existant... the fact that your name comes up in almost any search on GFY with the term "scammer" or "scam".

Also, just because I joined in 2009, does not mean I have not been around awhile and that I don't read the boards. I have been a webmaster since late 2002, so I know who you are, and avoid your business at all cost.

I am NOT on the side of the thieves. I am on the side of PRIVACY, not theirs, but OURS.

The definition should be understood very simply:
Regardless of whether you make 0 or a million, if you use copyrighted content without permission in a commercial endeavor (to make money) you are a thief and subject to any applicable laws.

If you are just uploading free shit which is copyright protected to share with friends and you are caught up in this mess, you should have been aware that Hotfile hosts alot of stolen content and thus you are swimming in the same cesspool...

Good news:thumbsup

fascism has come to america.

to protect your privacy use tor to create fake email, paypal, file locker and porn board accounts. use your file locker paypal money to buy gigs from yourself at elance who then pays you to your regular paypal.

Um yes they do Youtube is owned by one of the biggest thevies of all time namly google who love having their ads all over these file sharing, torrent sites ect. Youtube love putting inline ads on copyright films or on the chanels and will only take them down if you send them A DMCA with proof and then its a hassle at that.

Twitter, stumbleupon...ENTER SOCIAL MEDIA SITE HERE lol people use their service to link to all sorts of copyright shite

Flicker also has a crap load of copyright pics on... They are all doing it and making money from it

Your reply is totally illogical since download data is no where nere the same kind
of personal information as a credit card.

Second, Media Rev is not a judge granting the release of CC info to attorneys
for a civil/criminal trial.

And go ahead and join a paysite that is obviously selling CP and see how fast your
credit card number is given to the police when they ask for it.

Please. Stop the "song and dance" aroung the law.
The law is catching up; it was never legal.
People have just gotten so used to stealing and it being so easy that they
don't believe they are breaking the law.

Fuck them if they get busted, they should have listen in elemtary school when
the teacher explained copyright.

Everybody heard that shit, some people just treat it like the speed limit.
They are full speed ahead until they get the smack down.

yup, thats what all the thieves say. odd that I've been operating under the same name as the day I entered the business but you've felt the need to change yours since 2002.

I'm sure it wasn't because you were a thief. I'm sure was just something else:1orglaugh

what was your old name again?:1orglaugh

yes, yes, yes, google is the biggest thief. :1orglaugh

Of course they are going to "initially" target top affiliates, and id wager mucho dollars that all of them are infringing on peoples copyrights.

At the same time.....I suspect that they will employ plenty of common sense in their investigations whereby if some of Hotfiles top affiliates made big bucks from their "cat sneezing and grandpa falls over" videos...that they wont be fined or receiving jail time.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I see... so you think it is standard that you join GFY.com as soon as you enter the adult industry, and if you do not you are a thief.

No but claiming to know me but not GFY and being in the business since 2002 makes you a liar.
You have a reason to lie.
I'm sure it's because you weren't a theif just as I'm sure you weren't paid by me because you weren't a theif. :1orglaugh

We all post their pictures, that outs them to their friends and family.

some know it will happen, some don't. Stupid or not we don't worry about it, as we fill our pockets.

Oh darn... you got me. You owe me 5,000 bucks. But since I know you need it, why don't you just keep it and buy yourself something pretty. Or a clue... or some sun tan oil.

The bottom line is, lack of consequences would make people walk into a Best Buy and walk out with 10 XBOXes, the same as they would download 10 movies. If they can bypass a payment system(steal) and no one does anything about it, they'll do it. It's basic human nature.

people that just consume, and don't produce anything except farts couldn't be bothered with worrying about the artists that create the work they love to watch/listen to so much.

Exactly.

.

Also the lack of consequences. now they know that they will get outed they might think twice.

Prepare for an influx of affiliates running for cover...

No doubt. The MPAA in the past certainly haven't just got hold of lists of IP addresses and with no proof whatsoever of a crime having taken place, sent those people quasi-blackmail letters demanding money for out of court settlements.

Oh hang on a minute, that's EXACTLY what they did!

Lots of people have legit uses for sharing large files. Those people are now going to be hounded by the MPAA and they have done nothing wrong.

That is the issue. Clearly, if you can prove someone is breaking the law, they should be banged up. However, proof is the key word.

In the article they stated the last 2-3 numbers from the IP addresses could be left out. They have no intention of going after specific uploaders and downloaders. The only identities they want released are the top affiliates who will prove to be key witnesses in their case.

They want the data to prove the service was used widespread to profit from copyrighted works.

As for the top affiliates having 'legit uses', they're sharing 1000s of copyrighted movies downloaded by millions of users. If they weren't breaking the law they'll have their day in court. :)

Ah, right. Well as long as they are going after the people making money from the service, not just using it for work purposes, then that does sound like A Good Thing. I stand corrected.

Those are likely to be pirated too actually. If a cute cat video can get 20 million viewers it's worth money and therefore worth pirating

I think the reason you shit money so easily is that you have clearly had some big black cock stuffed up your ass to loosen things up. BTW, you stole your banner logo from someone else.

As for the rest of you, you are all imbeciles if you think this benefits you in any way like this will be used against your dreaded tubes.

the rabble think so many odd things.

BTW, who did I steal my banner logo from? :1orglaugh

i suspect most of their "top affiliates" are probably located in Ho Chi Minh City or New Dehli.
