DH, Wizzo, WiredGuy, Lars, Juicy, etc..
 

No drama. Just a thread to understand the reasoning behind it.

Why do they post at all to defend the spyware/adware, torrent sites, etc..? Do any of them own spyware or torrent sites? What motivation is there to encourage more people to use these methods for promotion? Wouldn't it just dilute their own campaigns? Why bother? The aggressive defense of these practices is what keeps people replying and flooding the forum with so many threads about it.

I haven't defended bit torrents or spyware. Adware, yes, because its legal and has a lot of misconception about it. I don't see anything wrong with software being distributed freely which is supported by advertising. Lots of people put adware and spyware in the same category and it simply isn't true.

you also have to realize there are two types of adware...that which was installed by an exe that someone intentionally clicked on to install that ad supported software, and that which installed without permission that pops ads on a users screen

both are adware, but one is perfectly fine, while the other is malicious

between the 5 of us , we run a ring of torrent sites that will blow your mind away.

DH is our spokesman
Wired Guy is the programmer
Wizzo is there to give guidance
Lars is there to keep me company
I am there just to look good and be eye candy

this is serious business

:1orglaugh

can boneprone and i have a job?

Yes please forward me resume

so where does it begin and end. arent torrents practically an extension of tgp. i mean a tgp site has thousands of pics and videos for free, its just sponsor approved. i remember back when programs were picky about tgp and now 9 out of 10 will give you every bit of content they have to use for it.

Sure a TGP has a lot of pics and movies, but those are samples.

i want job tooooooooooooooooooooooooooo


i will get the bitches for everyone

They're still pretty much giving away the cow while trying to sell the milk.

Regardless, the main difference here is the stamp of approval given to TGP's, to which sponsor cater by offering free content in various forms, while torrent sites blatantly rip entire sites without anyone's approval.

woofie can be the bitches scout.

I have never seen Juicy defend any of this, he jokes not in the happiest of threads but no support.

It's all badware to me.

not much difference, tgp opened up because people pushed it and did it like this. because big tgps threw up tons and tons of content and got sales. bottom line is and has always been money. tgp didnt always have such massive approval, much less have so many programs that will give you virtually their entire collection of content to use for it however you choose. im just saying its not a huge jump and you're all not so clean.

i think i might have said something but i have been "high" with weed last few days , not sure when or if i said not sure tbh

i amm about to roll a joint soon also.

after 8 pm dont pay attention to anything i say

It really takes you 15 minutes to get high? ;)

nah like 3 puffs , i am n00b puffer

juicy, you are going bald. Me on the other hand, well, there's some eyecandy!!

u high????????// i got a full set up hairrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

And what good eye candy you are

We always need some stand up guys :)

what the fuck is my job going to be?

Yo Juicy, you'll need a frenchy in there... OUI OUI!!!!!!

Burning bandwidth as usual

TGP is a different situation, they have direct control over the content on their sites (even if they choose not to exercise it). There's accountability there. Torrent sites don't really have this kind of control.. they can block searches, etc, but they aren't directly in control of the content that's offered on their sites. Not even the same kind of business model.

sup man, shoot me an icq bro

Tgp's started out as illegally linking to content, sorta like what torrents do now.

Maybe you weren't around, or didn't make avs sites... I lost over $4000 due to Thehun and Al4a.

ANd you took some sort of action and you knew how to stop getting ripped off by TGPs.
How do you stop a bunch of surfers from sharing complete site rips?

$4000 later I was told to put up a .htacess, to stop it, but that only stopped a few of the sites not all.

Sponsors can find a way to work with Torrent Sites too. Shouldn't you expect them to do the same? You are telling me I was supposed to be able to stop them from fucking me. It wasn't like Thehun emailed you and said, hey I wanted to link your shit, but if you want to stop it, add a htaccess.

I don´t know man, maybe I´m not that smart but I fail to see how a sponsor can compete against people that are uploading complete site rips...
Sure maybe you can flood the P2P networks with teaser videos and stuff. But then the surfer just does a search, orders the results by size and boom...you´ve got a 1.2GB site rip ready to download.
I highly doubt he´s gonna pull out his credit card...

Juicy, your above post also proves you are the brains and comic relief behind the operation.

We all know you are great looking, but you don't need to be so modest about your other talents.

:winkwink:

thank you, thats exactly what im saying. these people just cant make the connection.

tgp wasnt always looked in such a friendly way as i said and now a sponsor will practically give you all of the content they have, full videos, entire photo sets and let you tgp the shit out of it. but they're crying about this, its the same thing over again. they only bitch when they're not in it and making money from it, but they'll exploit this and a few years from now it will be accepted and all these cry babies will be bitching about something else.

youre all greedy and dirty whether you like it or not on some level

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

People need to either join with the torrent sites in some way or come up with a product worth purchasing.

The difference is, TGP aren't used to pirate software and they don't engorge theft or offer up full length porn DVD or site rips. Torrents are not just another way to market, they are part of the downward spiral of this industry.

We need someone to get frosty lattes and espressos
