Agreed

Most of these profit pirates will give up after you DMCA their links a few times. The worst infringer gave up after about 12 re-ups.

It's by far a loosing battle for content producers that truly care about their product.

I run 18 adult sites and produce content for 3 of them and sales are good, not 2007 good but in the current climate, adult still has plenty of opportunity for good earnings.

I emailed you after writing that post, still haven't received a response, do you have skype?

i'm seeing the opposite. planetsuzy for example alexa is a lot bigger than i when i last checked before.

Yep some forums are picking up unfortunately, probably because of the influx of pornbb refugees. Intporn is yet another example - they're relatively new game in town, but picking up quickly. But it still looks like forum traffic is down across the board, and even those that are seeing some increase like planetsuzy are still past their prime.

Probably they weren't real reuploads but mere link replacements, that's why he could afford to be so resilient. You of course know that it's not like in the good old rapidshare days anymore, when they not only removed files for real but also blocked them by their signatures so reuploaders would have to repack their archives to add some random txt or jpg files to change hash, and then physically reupload again.

Nowadays those outright criminal hosts like oron do not even remove files but mere links, and uploaders could always generate a new set of links for replacement. That's still a work to do, and often manually because auto-replacement is not always supported, but it's still alot easier for them anyway than to really upload a file again.

Yup, if they deleted the masterfile things would be moving a lot slower for the sharers.

I'm seeing some weird things in this area too. Some posters have commented on forums that "links got deleted and I'm not re-uploading that again, sorry if you didn't get it first time"

So to me, I'm suspecting a two tier system, paid account holders and your freebie uploader....one gets deleted, one doesn't.

How did you conclude that I didn't know about this before?

Read the post you fucking idiot.

Yes I noticed that too, and I think your assumption about 2-tier system is about right.

It is also possible that things vary from host to host, some offer fake links and some don't. I know for certain that Oron offers that, and probably Filesonic too, about others I'm not so sure. You wouldn't know unless you signup and start uploading, which I'm sure not going to do.

I blame Googyle and the other search engines.

Two tiers in the fight; a company or group doing what these pitbull guys do ie identify refusals forwarding that information to a group like my personal side project. We have lawyers in multiple countries setup to file. Sued users for leaking content and hosts for refusals and won everytime; never lost.

Thing is nobody ever does the research or even calls a lawyer with ip experience; it's a hands down you will win. Nobody has sued pornbb.com because it's still up.

9/10 they won't even show up ending in a default judgement you take that to icann and you have the domain name. Fake information in whois? instant win..

Fight back instead of bitchin not a country on the planet wants ip laws to be ignored. It's amazing what a visit from the Latvian police will do to a stubborn host..

Those people live in fear.

We need to get together or give up; I see a bright future in enforcement along with new laws coming in china and russia things will change.

The insurance industry has ACORD forms
 

which are very hard to crack and are only considered "real" when the coding is read by a doc reader with ACORD extension, which can be tracked .

The real problem is there is no standard and never will be because 10% think they can be on top with the sinking model, on top at 1:300, on top at 1:3000 on top at 1:30000 and so on.

If even the 100 largest of you would allow a standard, it would be adopted. Probably half of you are on this board.

Force a real-time blind data collect algorithm as an extension.

Microsoft did a similar thing with hardware hashtable codes and their sales went up just from registrations. It is a pain, but it works in the long run.

well with that criteria, I can say that it's also criminal to INVADE OTHER COUNTRIES, KILL INNOCENT CIVILIANS and get their OIL..

So dude? heh.

No shit but they still refer to them as "content owners" in their affiliate newsletters.

What's going on now is once a file locker hits saturation with premium accounts sold they go and open a new site so all the posters can then force everyone to buy new premium accounts.

Filesonic beget Wupload which beget Filepost and all three are owned by the ex-Brazzers owners who have moved on from tubesites to file lockers..

that information and proof was probably on the only worthwhile thing posted on *************.

Yea I saw that thread. It seems they have managed to pay domaintools to block whois history searches for Filesonic.com but I know I got that screenshot around here somewhere. :winkwink:

Please post it.

Exactly. There's no money in those lifetime accounts Filesonic sell.

I don't know about Brazzers owning them but they'd certainly have the resources.

Thank you and the others who mailed me. We're now preparing for marketing and selling this script, it will cost about $500 including having it installed and configured on your server by our own programmer. We're working on a website where all the information will be available behind a password for content producers only. I'll keep you posted in here and by e-mail.

I might go into the forums and at least post my banner in the siterip posts so I at least get some "feel sorry for you" traffic lol. I couldn't even get a new account at pornbb.org LOL.

I personally like the one forum on intporn:
Porn SiteRips (3 Viewing) / Do you have a closed down porn site worth saving for the future?

Why try to give your description some legitimacy - what porn site owner would ever just upload his site to a public forum to be stolen lol.

At my posting rate in 2035 I will be able to post pics but for now...

Sometimes I'd bcc the bosco1 gmail address on takedowns to dmca@filesonic and Bosco1 would reply acting clueless but ask repeatedly where I found such ludicrous info.

I guess he eventually found out it was on DomainTools.

I was also warned by him "Should I find any public statements in which you claim I own those websites I will contact legal counsel without delay."

Did you guys ever consider giving away your own older content for free on your own website, in nice flash video windows with proper thumbnails and descriptions? Basically making your own tubes, but higher quality videos, no pop-up ads and you're the only one allowed to upload content? I'm going to do that, to generate more traffic and sales. All my old content can be downloaded from hundreds if not thousands of tubes, boards and torrent sites now anyway so I might as well give it away for free. And then hope that 1% is willing in buying a subscription to see the newest videos. Now if all producers would do that, and on each page you also show one video of another producer, we keep the traffic in our own hands again.

Nate at takedownpiracy.com does a great job at removing content from all these forums. :thumbsup

looks like he's creating quite a stir at wjunction :1orglaugh

someone posted filesonic's (alleged) spreadsheet for one monthon porkwikileaks. they make some nice coin, paid not as much as i thought to affiliates though.

I guess with the affiliates breaking the law uploading, Filesonic simply skim the traffic, because let's face it who the fuck is going to complain.

their payouts are very small in comparison to the traffic they get in return.

But how many people are paying for Filesonic? After all they're part of an audience that doesn't want to pay for porn out of principle. I think RapidShare made a lot of money because they were the first, but the ones who came after that?

seriously you need to educate yourself on how to profit WHEN your shit get pirated.
it really not that difficult

you talking an extra 22 minutes per video max.

It's not just porn though it's everything.

If you ask me though, downloading multiple files from a locker is harder than torrents.

Exactly and torrents are free. And yes there's also things like software and BluRays on lockers but I guess that someone who downloads porn isn't interested in CS 5.5 or the newest games and game people aren't interested much in porn and if you can download something for free you don't mind having to wait due to reduced speed. I think it must be shit trying to make money from a locker or tube site.

Please explain? You mean adding trailers at the end of each video?

there are tons of ways to do it, but the easiest one is product placement, it established pattern.

you just have to understand on how to make it work for porn.

The clueless guys will say shit like it won't work in porn because MAINSTREAM companies don't want to promote themselves in porn videos.

if you can't understand how to get product placement to work in porn, then you not going to be able to figuire methods that don't have a process you can model.

The only famous boards that are losing traffic are the boards bought by Oron, and the reason is simple. Oron caps their downloads, and after you exhaust your download bandwidth you have to wait 3 days for it to reset. The typical pirate won't stand for that, so they shun boards that only allow Oron links. In addition sites like LinkSnappy, that allow you to buy one membership and download unlimited bandwidth for multiple file lockers, are becoming hugely popular, and none of them offer Oron downloads. In the end Oron is shooting themselves in the foot...

Can't stop it, don't ave the brains to do something other than load sites with the same recorded porn so why not just shout at clouds.

There's no way another thread on GFY will stop piracy, in fact it's free advertising for them. You guys are not like King Canute who knew he wasn't able to turn the tide.

Work on a solution, instead of crying about something you can't stop.

You guys need to see where the traffic is these days.

One of these piracy sites performs as well as the worse of the Tubes I put in the list.

Now lets just dream for a moment that piracy is hounded off the Internet, not going to happen as I said it's dream time. All the surfers getting their free porn from piracy witl get it from legal Tubes.

The sites that had big banners up at the Prague show and were selling you the traffic they took from you by giving away porn for free.

What ever you do your flotsam. The time to change the business model was 3 years ago. Still you go on with the same business model, except you now buy traffic off the people who took all your traffic. :Oh crap

If you're so fucking smart why are you so fucking broke?

.

Those filehosters are useless to fight.
They pay affiliates to have those files up there. Without them they would go out of business fast.

Yup you're right, makes sense.

Very interesting, thanks.

So how much to they make/month, do you remember those figures? At least approximately.
