Nah. Celandina gets very emotional when it comes to pirated content. I get the impression that they have been burned badly and probably more than once.

This thread is the first time I have seen them knocking on the affiliate system or affiliates in general.

Celandina will be in almost any thread about someone starting a tube site with a comment about "Oh, a new pirate" or something like that but usually doesn't say much about marketing. I don't think they would advocate magic join links and I think they realize that traffic is important alongside content.

Just my opinion.

A file locker shit "buying" content??? How long you've been in this industry?
They get it of surfer forums with site rips, then list it for download. Nobody "buys" content.
Most of it is 100% automated.

celandina runs a VOD site that has about 50 movies available for customers to buy and affiliates were paid a 20% commission to promote celandina's site. The affiliate legitimately bought celandina's full movie library at the VOD site using 2 or more usernames that were unrelated to his affiliate username. Affiliate did not buy content through the affiliate program. The affiliate then uploaded the full movies to pirate tube sites and posted legitimate affiliate links to celandina's affiliate program on his blog, as well as prohibited links to pirate tube sites and files lockers on those same blog pages. Affiliate tried to get paid commissions from his own purchases as a customer (think of the 20% commission as a discount for the content that the affiliate purchased) as well as for any sales that he referred.

While there are many thieves out there, there are also many legitimate affiliates out there including jscott, sarettah and myself who operate pursuant to a sponsor's affiliate program terms. We use sponsor provided content to promote sales to their sites and don't send traffic to pirate tubes or file lockers.

Truth hurts I guess....:winkwink: The impression you get that I got badly burned is not an impression, it is a fact and is ongoing ...My DMCA company removed over 700 links with my content from the web just in the last 60 days. Traffic which is not converting or only converting to more clicks (as most here ) is ONLY worth to those who have multiple dodgy tubes and live off clicks from mostly stolen content. Show me a tube which does not contain stolen content and I show you a Dodo bird. You can prove me wrong of course, but I do not think so.:2 cents:

God man you must rereally slow. I have a VOD site with real feature films on it. I do NOT have a membership site with gonzo videos, some skanky tube, camwhore site or a fucking blog. Anybody can buy a movie for 29 Euros from my site. I do NOT control that. Just like Amazon Prime. If you are so smart tell me Einstein how I can block a pirate from buying my content and then uploading it somewhere, I five you Kudos for it.

Somebody, but not that affiliate, stupid. He grabbed it somewhere else and re-uploaded it to generate his own download links. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh
