    Hotfile Ordered To Share User Data With The MPAA

    In their ongoing battle with the MPAA, the Florida-based file-hosting service Hotfile has suffered a major loss. A federal court has ordered Hotfile to disclose user data, the identities and revenues of their top affiliates, and financial information on the company itself. District Court Judge Adalberto Jordan argued that the MPAA needs this info to prove that Hotfile is promoting and profiting from copyright infringement.....

          Going to be a enormous amount of data to sift through to find anything useful if they get what is requested.

            Simply connecting Hotfile's top affiliates to content posted and discovering their identities, should be enough to help support MPAA's case. Once it starts coming out how much these users are being paid, it's going to paint a very clear picture of these fileshare companies' knowingly infringing tactics. For great justice.

              even if hotfile is a pain in ass and is illegal all the way, this is sick and totally ill. sharing anyones privacy is really sick and disgusting. it is not like terorism or raping, it is just sharing, and putting that info to court may harm much more people than only those targetted ... fucking stupid decission, judge with balls not, judge with fucking dumb head

                I agree with you for the downloader's as they may not knowingly be breaking the law (giving the benefit of the doubt here), and possibly the same for uploader's who have not made money from their uploads.

                But uploaders who have made money (whether it be $1 or $1,000,000) I think deserve to get their comeuppance. If they have made money from someone else's work then that is just plain wrong and they should have that money taken away at an absolute minimum. Imagine your reaction if it was your content up there.

                I can't see who would be harmed by this other than the site, which seems to be run largely illegally anyway - so no harm there.

                  yes man sure, uploaders are another thing, i have been talking about global users, i havent seen it will be only uploaders targetted. if there will be list of most dmca uploaders, ok go for them, but taking a bulk list and make problem to everyone doesnt matter what he was uploading ... but i dont know how the proccess will be, i tooked the worst scenario

                        I see teencats point, the fact that ANY judge can make ANY company disclose their users PRIVATE info is just sick. What may end up happening is a FEW people may get fines maybe some jail if there is cause, but it will open up the possibility for the legal system to do what they want and obtain any info they want and that affects EVERYONE including YOU!

                                  ass filled with coins... that was funny.

                                  It will be unfortunate for the little few who would get caught up into such a debacle, but IMO they should have known better using a service that was designed for illegal usage.

                                    This isn't just about stealing... this is about privacy in SOCIAL MEDIA! So if it is ok for the judge to do this to hotfile, it is NOW ok for youtube, facebook, twitter, stumbleupon, flickr, ENTER SOCIAL MEDIA SITE HERE!

                                      if your father isn't stealing, he'll be fine.

                                        incorrect.
                                        this is about thieves.
                                        youtube, facebook, twitter, stumbleupon, flickr, ENTER SOCIAL MEDIA SITE HERE do not actively promote and assist theft.

                                        I understand that some of the thieves want to cloud the issue but this is about theft, not your facebook status

                                          if he is sending big files in archives and sharing it with many people, as it is needed if you are doing any building project, how they know what is in the archives? they will investigate, they have to broke my fathers privacy because of investigation, now this is fine? my father used service where is not written "share your piracy here", how do he know its for piracy sharing? you know it, i know it, industry knows it, but surfers knows fucking nothing about how to use hotfile illegaly and for what else it can be used! i see your point, but i see also other views ...

Once it starts coming out how much these users are being paid, it's going to paint a very clear picture of these fileshare companies' knowingly infringing tactics. For great justice.
                                            Yes the odds on these top affiliates uploading videos they own and getting paid lots of money for them are what? This is a big blow to Hotfile.

                                            Go read up on the law of most lands. A judge can sign a search warrant that allows the police to enter your home at any time. This is just an extension of that power.

                                            What's the harm if you were a top affiliate by uploading films of your cat and loads of people downloading them?

                                            As someone who cares 0 about models privacy, you're very worried about this. I wonder why?

                                            Ignorance of the law is no defense.

                                            But uploaders who have made money (whether it be $1 or $1,000,000) I think deserve to get their comeuppance. If they have made money from someone else's work then that is just plain wrong and they should have that money taken away at an absolute minimum. Imagine your reaction if it was your content up there.

                                            I can't see who would be harmed by this other than the site, which seems to be run largely illegally anyway - so no harm there.
                                            Whether they made money or not, if they break the law they can face consequences. This isn't a good defense.

                                            "Yes judge I did steal the car, but I hadn't sold it yet and put gas in it, so lost money. Can I go home now?

                                                this is about thieves.
                                                youtube, facebook, twitter, stumbleupon, flickr, ENTER SOCIAL MEDIA SITE HERE do not actively promote and assist theft.

                                                I understand that some of the thieves want to cloud the issue but this is about theft, not your facebook status
                                                To be clear I am talking about my reply regarding teencats take on the situation. I understand that the situation we are discussing is theft, rightfully so I think the thieves should be outed. But the fact that the judge is able to force disclosure of private parties, makes you wonder how safe the rest of us are...

                                                Also... not paying affiliates is stealing too, even if you think they are stealing from you.

                                                      If this ends of favorably for the MPAA it opens the doors for anyone to file suits against file sharing forums, sites, tubes, blogs on the same grounds.

                                                      A judge allowing the MPAA access to user data to prove how the majority of it's top affiliates profited from copyrighted works is a huge breakthrough.

                                                          I wonder how many "top affiliates" from this board will be on that list.

What may end up happening is a FEW people may get fines maybe some jail if there is cause, but it will open up the possibility for the legal system to do what they want and obtain any info they want and that affects EVERYONE including YOU!

I understand that the situation we are discussing is theft, rightfully so I think the thieves should be outed. But the fact that the judge is able to force disclosure of private parties, makes you wonder how safe the rest of us are...

                                                                        Also... not paying affiliates is stealing too, even if you think they are stealing from you.

                                                                        ahhhh, so you're a former thief that I caught?

                                                                        what name did you used to use here when you attempted to steal from me?

                                                                        no wonder you're on the side of the thief.

They only care about the money they are stealing. As things progress and more pressure is put on them, they will hang their affiliates and their users out to dry to save their own asses. That will be the best part. Their true colors...

                                                                            There are lots of companies that allow you to share files online. Dropbox is one. But they are not paying people to upload stolen content then providing harbor and financial support for sites built around posting the stolen content. Skirting around DMCA requests and being coy about taking simple steps to keep this content off their servers. Why don't they just ban repeat offenders? It's a big joke.

                                                                                      what name did you used to use here when you attempted to steal from me?

                                                                                      no wonder you're on the side of the thief.
                                                                                      you should take me to court.
                                                                                      Nope... would never knowingly be an affiliate of yours. I know how to use gfy search, google, and ask around when I have a general interest in something or someone.

                                                                                      It is no secret on this board that you are now the longest running scammer here that has been called out on several occasions and not yet been banned. Perhaps the proof has been slim, shady, or even non-existant... the fact that your name comes up in almost any search on GFY with the term "scammer" or "scam".

                                                                                      Also, just because I joined in 2009, does not mean I have not been around awhile and that I don't read the boards. I have been a webmaster since late 2002, so I know who you are, and avoid your business at all cost.

                                                                                      I am NOT on the side of the thieves. I am on the side of PRIVACY, not theirs, but OURS.

Perhaps the proof has been slim, shady, or even non-existant... the fact that your name comes up in almost any search on GFY with the term "scammer" or "scam".

                                                                                                  Also, just because I joined in 2009, does not mean I have not been around awhile and that I don't read the boards. I have been a webmaster since late 2002, so I know who you are, and avoid your business at all cost.
