If you have a service that exists for the sole purpose of facilitating piracy, then it is illegal by all manners of interpretation.

If you have a file locker that PAYS PEOPLE to UPLOAD pirated copyrighted works, and CHARGES people to download pirated copyrighted works, and PAYS PEOPLE to sign people up for memberships to download pirated works, then it is illegal by all manners of interpretation.

All you have to do is take a look at the email communication between the file lockers and the affiliates during the discovery process. What you will find is that people are paid based on how in demand the copyrighted work is. You got the latest and greatest movie before anyone else? They pay more for that. You got the latest zero day release of Windows 8 on ISO? They pay a pretty penny for that. That is the very DEFINITION of willful infringement, and that is ABSOLUTELY illegal. Has nothing to do with "political correctness" or any such BS. We're talking about ME being able to sue YOU... and win a judgement against you.

People are not going after file lockers because people are sharing their own work. Nobody has any fucking problem with that, and the mere mention of that means your argument is incredibly weak. We're web surfers, AND webmasters... and we have access to all the same pirate forums you have access to. You act as if we must be completely off-base or not in tune with the inner workings of piracy.

Fuck dude, I'm a fucking piracy expert. And it couldn't be more crystal clear that you're a thieving asshole who seeks to completely obliterate the businesses of legitimate webmasters.

And yet you keep singing the same song... that you somehow have the right to steal. Keep telling yourself that. You're really making an expensive mistake.
