Wow, that's a radical turn in your attitude to Mega, AK.
Have you accepted donation from Kim recently? :winkwink:

I cited two examples of storage focussed, non incentivised cloud storage businesses.

Don't read any more into what I said than that.

Money, Money, Money!
 

I'm glad to read that you are having trouble collecting donations to destroy legitimate businesses. I remember you asking me to name a legitimate file locker that you had targeted in the past. I mentioned Slingfile, which lost PayPal as a payment processor but then got it back because in fact they are a legitimate file hosting service. You replied but avoided the subject of Slingfile. And you can't say you didn't have anything to do with this, as slingfile appears in your list of payment processor terminations.

By the way, your friends are in a bit of trouble, aren't they? Shouldn't you help them? Angry judge blasts porn trolls: ?Someone has an awful lot to hide?

So now all of a sudden MEGA is a "storage focussed, non incentivised cloud storage business" ? They always have been.

- Is MEGA DMCA compliant? Yes.
- Is MEGA Non-Incentive? Yes.

Then why the fuck are you targeting it? Why did you make sure that it lost many of it's 'resellers' offering PayPal as a payment option? #1 #2 #3 #4

I know why. Because it isn't about piracy. It isn't about infringing or non-infringing file lockers. It's about showing people results of termination in order to collect donations.

It's all about you AK. It has always been about your selfish self. This is just an other failing attempt of you to fill your pockets, this time not by exploiting young girls, but by exploiting the people from your own industry. Go fuck yourself AK.


PS: I didn't brute-forcing any passwords admin, just ask the people who's accounts were hijacked whether they had an easy guessable password or not. You fail to secure your own website and then blame your own users for it, what kind of attitude is that? You too can go fuck yourself. :anon

Slingfile is not assured of keeping payment processing while it continues to provide a payment wall to download copyright infringing content.

What you don't understand is that sometimes it suits us to let a site run while we collect evidence that we will later use to establish a clear cut case against a target.


Yawn.

Mega resellers began reselling in a category which requires Paypal pre-approval and at that stage Mega had not established it's credentials.

All file sharing and cyberlocker services MUST gain pre-approval before processing payments for this category of business. There are several compliance issues which must be satisfied before being allowed to process payments in this area - Mega chose not to follow the pre-approval process and you saw the result of that.

Can you please explain how I fill my pockets when we are currently running at an operating loss of around $28,000 ?

It's always the same with people like you, a sense of entitlement to things which do not belong to you and which you have no right to possess without paying for the right to possess. It's the same as you logging into the accounts of people who have poorly chosen passwords - you're using resources that do not belong to you - in effect you're committing a crime.

If criminal behaviour, theft of intellectual property and a completely broken moral compass define you as a person, you are completely indicative of all people who believe it is their right to attain content in any way they can regardless of the loss suffered by those who produce the content.

So you just made Slingfile lose PayPal as a payment processor with fake accusations. They managed to get it back because they are a legitimate file hosting service. As long as they are DMCA compliant there is nothing you can do, even if people upload copyright infringing content. So keep collecting 'evidence' instead of reporting it to get it removed, doing this you are actually just supporting the pirates. 'Collecting evidence', what a joke. :1orglaugh

Yawn? You might get your ass sued ass well if you continue like this destroying legitimate business for your own gain. In fact I'm pretty sure you will be sued for slander or libel anytime soon if you continue like this.

So basically you are nothing more than a snitch? It's not your business whether MEGA followed the pre-approval process or not. As long as they are DMCA compliant, you have nothing to do with it. Wait, I'm wrong, it is your business. As you're making money off of it by bragging that you made MEGA lose it's payment processor. Good job, how many donations did you get for that?


$28,000, did you buy a new car? Seriously, who are you trying to fool? You are on your own. Nobody is helping you. No lawyers, no court cases against file lockers, no bills, nothing, just you and your bullshit. Unless you used $28,000 to bribe PayPal employees.

Poorly chosen passwords? I could prove you wrong by posting their passwords here, but I'm not doing that. Just ask them yourself. I might be breaking the law, but I do it for a cause, so it is justifiable, at least for me as an internet activist. I am not stealing any information, just using GFY as my platform, as this is the best way for me to express my opinion about you and your dirty business anonymously. :anon

If that's what you'd like to believe then that suits us entirely.


Nobody is suing us. Everything we do is checked and double checked by our commercial and IP lawyers.

Once you start a legal case all sorts of issues may unravel, remember in Australia truth is a defence to defamation. So if you were to start a legal case then who knows what kinds of stuff will come out about your business.

The file sharing space is becoming highly regulated by payment processors - as it should be - as we are actively involved in the identification of infringement or regulatory non compliance then it is our business.


This is what you would like to believe, however the facts are this:

1. We have offices in the heart of the legal and financial district of Melbourne, situated on the 9th floor of a building in Collins Street Melbourne.

2. We have an ongoing engagement of legal services from one of Australia's leading commercial law firms and arguably Australia's most innovative IP law firm.

3. We have a collaboration system where a number of people participate in the ongoing operations of the Stop File Lockers project and Copy Control in general.

4. The infrastructure we use and deploy to get this job done is not cheap. Offices, legal work, paralegal work, investigative services and so on all cost significant amounts of money.



You're not being anonymous, you're simply being a coward.

EtainmentGraeme, why do you care what AK does unless you have a vested interest in piracy?

Obviously if a file locker has their Paypal privileges removed then it's for a reason. I doubt Paypal just blindly acts without some kind of investigation to determine if someone is violating their terms.

If you truly feel that AK is alone in this fight and that he's not a threat then why do you take the time to post comments in his thread?

[offtopic]i dunno, but the last couple of days im getting confirmation e-mails from slingfile to confirm my account there...only problem is...i never registered on that site, neither even visited it[/offtopic]

bump for AK saving the world

Bump to the top :thumbsup

It is unusual for us to acknowledge targets, however in this case we need to build as much evidence from affected rights holders as possible.

If your content is being infringed upon by Extabit or those who upload to Extabit then please post your contact details in this thread, we would like to collect statements from you to use in planned enforcement action that is pending against the site.

Alternatively leave a message for us at http://copycontrol.org/contact-us/

What if a different approach was made on pirated content, would it not be worth going after individuals, to make them realize that there can be retribution for their uploading of copyright material?

I was looking at one individual, on the site that is the similar to the chocolate bar, Kit Kat. silv3r666, he/she regularly uploads material as it happens from Sexy Pattycake, Catie Minx, Briana Lee, Christine Mendoza, Ariel Rebel, Dawn Avril, Brooke Marks, Karen Dreams, Private School Jewel and a whole lot more. He hacks into sites, he makes a small fortune each week, and has done for several years. Could not a John Doe subpoena be made to 2-3 of the more regular offenders, make an example of them. If it went to court and those details became known to the pirate sites, then word spreads, people would stop doing it, and piracy gets a thumping?

Why bother taking out individual uploaders when you can affect hundreds or thousands of them by making their uploads worthless once a site loses payment options and runs out of money to pay affiliate/uploaders ?

If people want to start tracking down individuals and making them pay then go for it.

The Stop File Lockers project is about taking payment options away from entire sites which in turn causes the uploaders pain.

you are too broke to pay attention!

I've been sending daily DMCA's to Lucky Share because a few of the same monkeys have been uploading new videos daily.

At what point do they block these users?

Do these thieves work directly for the file locker or just as affiliates?

In the case of LuckyShare, they are

(a) ignoring many DMCA notices entirely;
(b) paying uploaders and not banning repeat infringers;
and
(c) seem to be hiring their own in house uploaders of content;

bump for Mr King
the only thing why i'm visiting this shitty place

They are removing the videos after a day or two but by then more are added by the same users.

Has anyone ever taken legal action against the repeat infringers or is it a waste of time and money trying to track them down.

There are quite a few of these scumbags hanging out here because I notice and increase in uploads and brute force attacks every time I post.

It's better to shut down the sites than chase down individual infringers. Once the site is gone nobody can upload to it.

We need copies of DMCA notices issued to RapidGator, if you send infringement notices to Rapidgator please cc them to [email protected]

I cc [email protected] on every DMCA as well as their host and registrar.

First you must scramble up enough change for a file folder, but dont set your sights tooo high. :thumbsup

bumpage...

But in the mean time there are a handful of thieves profiting of other people's work. It could be a long wait before lockers like Lucky Share and Rapid gator feel the effects.

When you come up with a sure fire way of identifying individual uploaders without gaining access to the file locker user database then let me know. We'll use it.

While it is true we have identified some individual uploaders, it's pretty much pointless chasing individuals when there are more of them than one could actually realistically deal with.

Much better to shut down the sites they upload to.

I don?t think there are that many individual uploaders, just a lot of usernames. Things aren?t always how they appear.

But yea, identifying the uploader is the trick. And it really doesn?t do much good if you find out they are in another country. Takes deep pockets to chase those down.

IMO webmasters would do better banning together and sharing information on these individuals. Blocking their VPS IP every other day gets expensive for a pirate.

From what I've been seeing lately it's several main users that have been uploading thousands of videos. They are obviously working for these file lockers or otherwise some action would be taken. Lucky Share has been the slowest to respond to DMCA's and allow new ones to be uploaded faster than they remove the flagged ones. It's a big "Fuck You" to producers. These douche bags probably go to events like the Phoenix Forum and never say shit about what company they work for in fear of getting their teeth kicked in.

I recently sent a DMCA to Pornhub and within a day they removed all the videos as well as the uploaders entire profile which contained many videos from other sites. I'm not praising them but at least that's a reasonable response to this ridiculous game we're forced to play.

You're working on the assumption that file lockers ban repeat offenders, many don't. In fact many just allow files to be renamed when hit with DMCA - they don't even need to be re-uploaded.

If you can confirm the identity of any of these "uploaders" then forward us the details.

Pornhub is 100% DMCA compliant as far as we can tell.

I do understand what you are saying, and what your targets are. It's not a fight I could fight to go after an individual, although I'd love to.

Word and fear circulates, it can even make national news, and if just one was made an example of, the court details shared, the humiliation and compensation, and the publicity spread on all the forums, it would stop so many individuals from thinking of pirating content ever again, or downloading content. Getting service providers to put a block on sites is probably the only solution that can end all pirating for good, or the fear that any download could contain a virus, trojan etc ? that always helps.

I was watching a couple of regulars, they add 3-10 items a day, and have done for years, they earn $500+ a week, and they do lose some of their income when you successfully shut a paying-site down, taking away Paypal join-ups or download credits, but they move on immediately. When their Megaupload files were useless, they put them back up with the next fashionable version, like Oron, Rapidgator and so on.

It was just a thought, have a go at the foot-soldiers, who have been immune from their actions, not one stone has been thrown their way by any of us, just grumblings. It's the same for software, music and film piracy, there is no deterrent for an individual, the billions uploading/downloading. Sometimes it's better to start at the bottom and work up, rather than start at the top.

People have gone to jail for piracy, Rudy Corella was up to his neck with Elite Torrents which once broken open by the Department of Justice led to one Daniel Dove receiving a prison sentence.

Now a few years later Rudy Corella runs UltraMegaBit.com and owes the State of Washington hundreds of thousands of dollars for other misdemeanours.

The only thing that these criminals understand is taking their money away and that's what we are about. We work relentlessly to disrupt the ability of these sites to moneitize, we have their funds frozen, we make them move from payment processor to payment processor and this tactic is the only tactic that can work.

The motivator for commercial piracy is money, so we're working to take the money away.
Criminal proceedings, loss of face, fines and so on is just icing on the cake.

If only from a philosophical and spiritual place I still and always will support any endevour like Stop File Lockers and people like Adult King. I think it is a lot of hard work. But I can not help but wonder if there is any near future where Visa and Mastercard will become part of the stand against them.

The reason why I say this is because one of the girls I film regularly is also an escort. (no surprise) She takes money using paypal and she showed me that she has 8 different accounts. The she told me they are all connected to 8 different banks using 8 different names. She purchases fake ID cards online if she needs it.

If any of the tube sites are becoming *upstanding, cooperating and decent* porn businesses. I think it has more to do with the media pressure coming on them now than desire to play by the rules

There's been some interesting developments in recent weeks and more activity to come in the next three weeks or so.

Right about now several file lockers are finding it difficult to maintain payment processing arrangements and I see no reason why the trend toward even more difficult times shall not continue.

can pirates just move to Taiwan now?

No, the obscenity laws in Taiwan are fairly harsh.

good, good...

"On February 7th, 2013, on a web-site gfy.com a user called AudltKing made a post, which is insulting and in any way doesn't correspond to how our company works. "

Perhaps I am confused.

ACIUF are in some kind of arrangement with DownloadNoLimit.com.

DownloadNoLimit has emailed us several times seeking a "partnership".

In reality all they want is the green light to stop us from shutting them down.

DownloadNoLimit.com will be shut down, we are actively working to shut down all of their merchant facilities.

Perhaps they bribe good, you could accept the cash :)

Lmao, they are sweating.

Bumping for the cause

what's the new cause?

Any news on luckyhare?
They are blatantly ignoring all DMCA's.

Luckyshare is where it's at! Everyone moving to it. Re-up with one click

I just shat myself looking at your avatar. :1orglaugh :thumbsup

We know all about Luckyshare, however we have limited resources and demand for action over various sites exceeds the resources available to us.

If you want to help us out, then consider making a contribution to us via Paxum - [email protected]

Would be great if you managed to stop luckyshare.

We know Lucky Share is a problem, however we need to collect more evidence.

Do you have specific instances of issues with Luckyshare that you can provide us ?

Please use the contact form at http://copycontrol.org/contact-us/

More evidence???

We need more sources of evidence in order to pursue a course of action we have planned for the operators of Lucky Share.

This means more rights holders taking the time to contact us so we can collect documentation of ignored DMCA notices and repeat infringement along with some other information relevant to the case.

It's all very well to ask for action in this thread but we need to work on evidence, not forum posts.
