Oh!!! True said SABAI!!!
Lemme tell you guys about these 'forums'! They file share, hotlink, password steal like a mofo!
Few years ago I got an email from an idiot who asked if I would let him in my site because he was too poor to afford it. Not only that but the dumb bastard actually emailed me with the forum email address. I stopped by the forum and sure as shit the motherfuckers were fishing for passwords and posting their attempts!
They were unsuccessful of course but the moderator of the forum had let them do this shit til I came through like gangbusters and I at first was polite but these assholes got arrogant, started accusing me of shit and I said 'Fuck it!' called in the lawyers and it was asses and elbows from here to Guam.
Then the owner of the forum who had been complaining that 'paysites' defeat the purpose of the web ended up turning the same forum into a 'pay' forum. What a jerk!
I took care of them bums from the start but learned more of how these content theives work.
One guy gets a membership to your site. With broadband he d/loads everything he can and then cancels or waits out the 3 day trial ( I don't do that trial shit ). It may have been a good idea to have trials BEFORE broadband but nowadays it's inefficient. Then the guy uploads the stuff to a server and everyone shares it.
What I did to stop it was I offered a 'bounty' to anyone who found my shit on some site or being shared. I offered a chunk of the profit after conviction and befoe I knew it I had everybody turning everybody else in. No honor amongst theives!
