I hope this turns out differently though. Lets see

More than that. It's going to stop the file lockers stealing the content of those with the balls to hit them in court. Which is why MW is going this route. https://gfy.com/showthread.php?t=1072450

Another reason. It tells affiliates they're not fighting a losing battle promoting their sites.

The file lockers will keep taking from those who don't have balls.

The way to hit them is via the money. Hit the funding and you shoot down lots.

I really, really, hope so too, but logic says it won't. No one ever goes the distance on these types of suits. They want quick cash, and they get it.

You are 100% spot on. Not only are they going to get cash, but the infringing site will have to do everything in it's power to make sure content from that company does not show up there again. They will also roll on the uploaders who uploaded that companies content in the first place.

bottom line not many attorneys know how do this & are retarded when it comes to finding out what corbin did. Hopefully I'll be next in line with a lawsuit.

What you'd *like* to do, and what you have to settle for doing (which is sometimes nothing at all) are often very different things. Surprised that with all the intelligence on here, that isn't obvious.

That's the damn truth. For 4 years I've asked "industry attorneys" why I can't sue any of these bastards. And I keep being told over and over that I wouldn't win because of DMCA. :(

Sounds like Corbin has himself a much better attorney than most of the pack.

Sometimes it's the little things in life... :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

:2 cents:

I'd LIKE to do a lot of things. Unfortunately, I can not do them without serious legal recourse, so I have to resort to things I can actual do, which is not much.

Doesn't mean a man can't dream though... lol

Brazzers is the biggest banner but seaporn.org promote a little of everyone such as videosz.com , then for cams hardlink "friends" www.adultinteractivechat.net -> [ifriends.net (ClickCash.com)] + sexier (pussycash). Screenshots of dvd covers etc. are in pixhost.org which opens livejasmin AND webcamsexposed (crak/mfc) pages.
I think a list of affliaites NOT promoted by pirate sites would be short or simply no entries.

Exactly.

Well that's the irony, you fight the pirates but also financial supports them :1orglaugh

looks like Mark Randazza's firm and Chad Belleville who practices alone don't believe this horseshit that the DMCA law gives thieves safe harbor protection. Corbin Fisher's lawsuit is based for the most part on Oron's failure to comply with the DMCA which requires a service provider to have a DMCA agent in place. They also include the rest of what we bitch about here, that Oron runs an affiliate program which encourages people to upload the most popular content and software they can. Without the failure of Oron to have a DMCA agent i'm not sure Corbin Fisher would have filed the suit.

I'm hoping that one of these companies do take a lawsuit the distance and a judge finally finds that file sharing sites the way they are currently run are not protected by the DMCA. If Corbin Fisher wins because of the lack of a DMCA agent and gets justly awards big damages, great for Corbin Fisher but doesn't mean much - unless you find another file host stupid enough not to have a DMCA agent.

We can't get rid of file sharing hosts, they'll get smarter in how they set themselves up, move to countries beyond the arm of US law BUT if we can get Paypal and other well known processors to cut off their processing it would push file hosting to the fringes - Paypal is the worst offender, the file sharing industry would not have grown so large without Paypal.

And this will happen until they go down or advertisers are liable for losses.
