You'll notice that AFF is also gone, as their sponsor. This could be more of a way to attract larger mainstream sponsors for better earnings than they were ever getting with AFF.

Wow! This has been quite a few days hasn't it? Some may say that it's just coincidence....But guys stepping up like A1R3K & Shanes World, VG Content, XPays, and some of the other Players on here sure seemed to have coincided with a lot things happening. I'm not saying that they singlehandedly did it. But it sure feels good to see some guys take a stand and THEN to see the "untouchable" torrents suddenly start getting bitch slapped.
Let's see in the last couple of days....torrentspy got banned from the U.S. Megarotic got their billing yanked and now torrentz.com stops porn.
I don't know guys. I'm not wanting to sound naive or anything. But up until now there seemed to be nothing stopping the stealing. Maybe it's small victories here, but it seems to me that for the first time SOMETHING is happening. With guys like VGContent dedicating himself to actually DOING something...I believe it may be starting to slowly get the point across.
Whatever the case...there are THREE very real setbacks against piracy that have occurred in the last few days. That is very good news.

I think more people should read this a little more closley, this could indeed be the reason.
but if its to do with piracy, then rock on and congratulations.

its no coincidence. and it is going to get tougher.
bitch and try to justify they may, but in the end it will not be worth it. one at a time. one sponsor at a time, we will make a difference.
personally, i'm paying for it a little. threats, my site hacked, its all good, and worth it.
funny thing is, this isn't totally my mission, i was just chosen as the voice. there will be more setbacks for this type of thing.
flame on flamas. i'm sure they'll find this thread and tell us that nothing we are doing is making a difference. sure looks different to me.
Robbie, it comes back to the key part of this game: Threaten their income, threaten their ability to make money, and even torrent sites will consider taking action. Without income, these sites die. If they are having to spend money to defend themselves from copyright complaints, to defend themselves from CP charges, etc... then they aren't making money.
Some small but significant vistories in the last few weeks on this front. I am confident there are more to come.
I hope there is going to be a piracy roundtable at the Amsterdam show. I really want to attend. Just can't make the L.A. one because of family obligations. But I'm gonna put down the absinthe, hookers, and hash and sober up long enough in Amsterdam to attend. I'm just a little one man show, but I'd like to contribute in any way that I can.
More power to the ones on the front lines fighting this.... Way to go... even little victories count... (but this is some pretty major stuff happening!!!)

but don't get your hopes up too high.
to be perfectly honest, even if thats the case it don't care. our industry already has a hard enough time getting anyone to care about our side of things... let the mainstream peoples lawyers have a go at protecting their property from these thugs, any others who's attention is drawn to them due to lack of profits is a good thing in my eyes.
i want to watch these creeps scramble to continue to monetize their leeching traffic..
...promise her a defamation, tell her where the rain will fall..
