Some comments

Let's see that fuckwit Gideon spin this one. :1orglaugh

wow. I love it. I guess these cyberlockers started to get too big for their britches in manwins eyes. It's transparent what is going on but if you share a comon enemy you can be, at the very least, 'symbiotic'.

So they don't like competition huh :D

this is really funny, but for a totally different reason than you would think

I like what ACIUF is up to and its mission, I was just checking out his site last week. Its my list to follow up with. It seems righteously guerilla. :)

Funny for all reasons...we have seen wolves in sheep clothing before:helpme

in my case a very personal reason :)

but i totally appreciate any effort that helps to bring down file lockers, torrents etc.

tubes are a totally different animal imo

taking down the competition

Unreal..

They have to stick their dirty hand in everything.

Rather than flame, support them. They are doing something.

Though this I don't understand.

So going after the money is the best way to hit them.

If there is no money, there is no reason to do it.

How are they going to pay for their labor and bandwidth? It all takes money to run a business.

:2 cents:

But Markham says internet traffic is free and easy to get.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

If they can't buy them, and I'm sure they have tried, they are left with no other choice. There is only room for one ginormous pirate operation in town. :winkwink:

Either way, file lockers going offline is a positive step. Anyone who is able to bring down a single one, large or small, gets a kudos in my book. Personally, I like seeing Manwin go after these guys, as they have the resources to take the lead on this and see it through. If anyone has the power to get the job done, besides Corbin Fisher, it would be them.

What I don't want to see is a bunch of lawsuits where Manwin ends up owning all the file lockers. That would be disastrous.

it cant be! :disgust

Yah you gotta be careful with hidden Agendas.

I don't feel like Manwin has shown any regard for morals and ethics unless it benefits them financially.

Businesses are in business to make money, that's not the point.

I really hate to say it but I don't think real change will occur unless Manwin also steps up to the plate and helps put a stop to it (including on their own sites). At this point we really need them. The pay site industry is that far gone because of the rampant piracy over the last five years.

I recall in the past much discussion about repeat infringers. Did Fabian ever enact a policy to terminate (or at least suspend future uploads from them) repeat infringers after three strikes and remove all their videos automatically as Youtube does?

Is it common knowledge that Choopa and the Mansef gang owned Filesonic and Fileserve?

I don't think Fabian, whatever you think of him, would risk what Manwin now owns and controls by owning large file sharing operations. The Feds took down Megaupload, it looks like Oron is on the run, file sharing sites look to be sitting ducks while tube sites continue to flourish behind the DMCA's 'safe harbor' provision.

Manwin's core business is still adult paysites, so file sharing sites are its enemy as much as for any of us smaller businesses. It's why in another thread I asked Fabian why Manwin hasn't done what Corbin Fisher has done.

I've been saying for years it's the file sharing sites that will kill us all off, tube sites have never bothered me as much.

Manwin must have invested close to a million dollars in Babes.com - take a look at today's offerings from Seaporn.org http://www.seaporn.org/

Babes - Shazia Sahari - Come My Love

Babes - Katie Kox - Anything For You

Babes - Ivana Sugar - Wake Up My Love

This is a long fight and it seems more are joining the war and we're winning some battle.

these posts seem confusing though given the latest news.

Seems he didn't know what was happening.

Exactly. Whoever came up with this idea is either fucking stupid or a brilliant depending on which side they are on.

Perfect match.. two organizations that managed to piss off a lot of people in a very short amount of time. Congrats to the winners. :1orglaugh

Funny thing is that they are promoting brazzers as an affiliate (with a banner)

Hopefully the file sharing sites will fight back against the tubes, trying to get their bulking cut off. If they both go war, they both lose.

Personally I love the irony that seeps out of this whole saga. I call it....

"The Great Pirate War of 2012"

:)

It's like some kind of gang war.

"Don't steal on the same corner I'm stealing on"

Both sides are thieves in my opinion.

:1orglaugh

Tubes sell porn tho, and file lockers and torrents don't, i have tried it :) Tubes generate tons of porn sales, so it is good to see file lockers go :)

I'd rather have manwin running the corner in front of my house than a file locker. At least you can reason with manwin & they wont tag up your house & drink 40's on your porch & rep stupid colors. Cyberlockers are what happens when jamal takes over your corner. Both are bad, but at least manwin is trying to stay within the letter of the law, albeit the law sucks.

How's this for irony...

The main ad is for Brazzers :1orglaugh

I know what you're saying...but personally I'd like to go outside with my shotgun and clear my corner of ALL the thieves. And if this was real life and not some goddamn virtual game that these pirates are playing, that's exactly what I would do.

I heard they are fighting for people who steal content too...

When the enemy starts fighting within, it weakens them.

Interesting indeed..

um...... this is real life. not suggesting you do anything violent but not like all these people who steal content are virtual, they're flesh and blood people.

Hypocrisy at its finest

I know where you're all coming from, but give Manwin some time, they will eventually come around :2 cents: :)

In my eyes, I think this is a good start, but I guess you have to start "believing" to see it. :winkwink:

I know most can't agree with it on principle, but I'd say in general - the less free porn easily available to end-users the better chances for us all to actually sell porn again.

This is actually the time to decide on which side you are on, are you just going to continue bitching or are you going to help this time around - most of us have just sat by idle while the tubes and file-lockers started taking over... Maybe it's time to stop sitting on the sidelines and take a stance with those that actually put their money and lawyers where their mouth is.

Oh and: One thing you all should realize - once there are no more rogue lockers, boards and tubes left - Manwin could actually flip the "free porn switch" off - ever considered thinking that this is the groundwork for a much larger "end-goal" (sorry there it is again) ?

No, you wouldn't.

Did you give Fabian a black eye after his keynote in Vegas?

I actually think that's the main goal. Control everything, kill the competion and then "flip the free porn swith off" and reep in the benefits.

So don't give up, keep building your sites, work on getting traffic to them and lets hope that is actually the goal.
