    DMCA protects oron and all the other sites.
    DMCA protects internet providers - gateways. DMCA protects a company like Comcast from the actions of it's users. It does not protect sites that operate as piracy hubs. These are willful infringers who pay for and charge for the dissemination of copyrighted works.

    It also does not protect end users who are also willful infringers.

        DMCA protects oron and all the other sites.
        If Oron is compliant with the DMCA, that might well be true; the heart of Liberty Media's complaint, however, is the assertion that Oron simply does not comply with DMCA, and that it clearly did not comply with an important provision of the statute prior to July 2011.

        From the complaint:

        Normally, a web hosting company takes advantage of the ?safe harbor? provisions of the DMCA 17 U.S.C. § 512, and would not become a defendant in this cause of action. During the period of most of the complained of infringements, Oron did not have a registered DMCA agent. It is not entitled to the DMCA?s safe harbor provisions for the complained of infringements.
        There is much more to complying with DMCA than simply honoring take down requests. As the bit from Liberty's complaint that I quoted above suggests, one of the other important facets of compliance is registering a designated DMCA agent with U.S. Copyright Office, and subsequently publishing contact information for that agent on your website(s).

        Oron only registered its DMCA agent in July of last year, so with respect to any infringing activity at issue in Liberty's complaint that took place prior to that date of registration, the court may well find that Oron should not benefit from DMCA safe harbor with respect to such infringement.

        Beyond that, there's nothing in the DMCA that protects you from contributory copyright infringement claims if you are willfully and knowingly profiting from infringement, even if the direct infringement itself is being perpetrated by third parties.

        Which brings us to the following claims in Liberty's complaint:

        41. Defendant Oron.com induces its members to upload content in the hopes that it will be downloaded in massive quantities, such as full-length motion pictures belonging to Plaintiff Liberty.

        42. Oron rewards members who steal copyrighted content and provide this content to Defendant Oron.com. Defendant Oron.com publishes illicitly obtained copyrighted materials to lure potential members to its website.

        43. Defendant Oron.com engages in this illicit activity for profit. The members uploading the illicitly obtained material also profit.

        44. Defendant Oron.com compensates members for their infringing activity.
        If Liberty can provide evidence of those claims at trial, in combination with the lack of a registered agent for Oron prior to July of 2011, I'd say Liberty is in a pretty good position to come out on top in this case.

          You check the time of the hit against the time of a post, throw in the referer string and it becomes pretty easy.

            And again CF takes the lead. Good news!

            A couple of gay companies (CF, Titan, C1R, Blu Media, Porn Guardian) have been extremely succesful closing illegal tubes, file lockers and forums. Even when it comes to a settlement, Oron will be hit hard. Others will follow and they can't settle forever.

              Either way it seems like a real breach of privacy for a 3rd party to disclose IP's. Especially shady making that disclosure to a company who's sole purpose is to commit crime.
              If they are an advertiser who hosts his own banner images. Then they can see the IPS hitting it

                    In a previous Liberty / CF case, versus Hotfile, it eventually came out that Hotfile had direct communications with posters - giving them advice on boards to post to, popular files, and things along those lines. That would take away any DMCA protections because the host / site is no longer just a host.

                    These guys are running Forumophielia, RedBitch, PornBB and others. I think that might play into the case when the time comes.

                    Its up to the lawyers now.

                      Almost all of them are settled with Liberty getting good payments. There is a site called RFCExpress where you can look them all up, get the latest documents, etc.

                            Wait this fucker lives in FL? I haven't read all the docs yet but are you saying the owner of Oron is a U.S. Citizen? If so EVERYONE ought to be suing his ass.

                              I heard about this happening here at least six months back. Real scumbag stuff.

                                Use Tor when posting here. It'll stop that shit cold. It's better for your security too.

                                But I suspect they are also getting the IP from the person who submits the DMCA takedown. Take countermeasures there too.

                                    Colorado Secretary of State records show additional addresses (updates) since the time he created the LLC - which I think one of is the Denver suburb of Golden and how Liberty got that in the suit.

                                              If Oron is compliant with the DMCA, that might well be true; the heart of Liberty Media's complaint, however, is the assertion that Oron simply does not comply with DMCA, and that it clearly did not comply with an important provision of the statute prior to July 2011.

                                              From the complaint:



                                              There is much more to complying with DMCA than simply honoring take down requests. As the bit from Liberty's complaint that I quoted above suggests, one of the other important facets of compliance is registering a designated DMCA agent with U.S. Copyright Office, and subsequently publishing contact information for that agent on your website(s).

                                              Oron only registered its DMCA agent in July of last year, so with respect to any infringing activity at issue in Liberty's complaint that took place prior to that date of registration, the court may well find that Oron should not benefit from DMCA safe harbor with respect to such infringement.

                                              Beyond that, there's nothing in the DMCA that protects you from contributory copyright infringement claims if you are willfully and knowingly profiting from infringement, even if the direct infringement itself is being perpetrated by third parties.

                                              Which brings us to the following claims in Liberty's complaint:



                                              If Liberty can provide evidence of those claims at trial, in combination with the lack of a registered agent for Oron prior to July of 2011, I'd say Liberty is in a pretty good position to come out on top in this case.
                                              The company you work for reached a settlement when it sued Pornhub. Why didn't Pink Visual go for a winning decision by judge or jury and reap the damage awards?

                                                  I agree with deiz, totally different person. I have seen owners info on this board before and clearly remember that he's one of ex-soviet guys living in Germany. Either here or some other adult webmaster boards.

                                                    i dont think pink visual is a big as people think. I viewed that lawsuit & settlement as a capital injection.

I hope they flood YouTube talking about their sad sad situation... losing all those links, and all those rebills.
