want to bet which number is closer to correct
100k says it not 99.999% infringing as you claimed
i have no problem taking that bet because the 70% came from eff claim on behalf of the users who wanted their files back.
so you have access to lawsuits against the individual uploaders
for 100/month you can get any of the takedown services to get all your content down
but that not enough you want to fuck over all the independent artist using mega upload legimately
because you don't want to spend 100/month.
except the fact that 15 year old was featured on reality kings porn site.
The child was raped (statutory rape is still rape)
raping children is worth less then 100/month to you.
except the government shut the site down not mega upload.
fact the entire filelocker industry has been effected by the megaupload takedown
the affiliate programs that allowed artist like dan bull to make money while using the try it if you like donate model have been wiped out.
so the damage to a business model is INDUSTRY wide.
Same principle applies you belong to an industry that allowed 15 year old to be featured in a porn video.
how do you know it is not. The only reason we know about the reality king case was because mother sued reality kings and they were forced to defend themselves in an open court.
Had that not happened no one would have known it about this 15 year old getting raped.
It could be covered up 100 of times a week /day in the entire porn industry.
The file lockers are an open system, they are public to the world, the infringement can be found by anyone (and misrepresented like adult king did when he misrepresented david banners album, and a main stream movie (authorized distribution)as porn/infringement)

The fact is you guys could easily verify identities to the same level as for bonded employees making a formal request for every id associated with social insurance number.
you don't, and you know full well that the substandard validation has a proven record of allowing a 15 year old to get thru. (hell according to the court transcripts reality kings goes above and beyond the industry standard process be requiring multiple ids).
And a kid being raped is way worse then losing a small/medium percentage of your income.
Especially when you take into account the fact that the pornstars who are getting paid only $800/scene could use the same dan bull style technique and make way more money.
