Keep up the great job AK! Hopefully corporate risk departments at Visa/MC start to take action from the top down as well.

How many sites have you closed down operating now? Must be loads.
Keep fighting the good fight!Comment

Question is how many checks for piracy has he stopped? Guessing lots!
I wonder if this thread gets so many views because content producers like what he is doing, or people that make money from piracy hate it?Last edited by MakingItPay; 08-30-2012, 01:29 PM.Giant Boob High Def Trifectas

I think this is what causing so much Anti Fighting Piracy posts.
It's pretty easy for someone with knowledge of how piracy works to put up a file Locker. Or run a forum supporting one. Who knows what some here really do?Comment

Asking this question was a real thread killer!
Everyone may continue saying how AK is wasting his time now.

he actually didn't 'stop' any checks. he only 'delayed' it for 180 days. They'll still get paid, and they move to a real processor other than paypal, and it's business as usual.
To all webmasters. Use a reputable IP Enforcement company such as Nate Glass's Take Down Piracy. They operate within the law, and don't work with hackers, nor have ties to CP as Robert King and his copy-control company do.Comment

I reported this before. TOday I tried again and I still can not send a message in this contact form:

At send, I get "Failed to send your message. Please try later or contact the administrator by another method."
So I tried 3 different emails, 2 different IP address, and 3 browsers (ie9, ff15, chrome) and got same result. Shortened topic and content as "test" and still failed...Comment

We're receiving emails through that email contact form, I'll look into it again. It may have something to do with the caching that our cloud front end does.I reported this before. TOday I tried again and I still can not send a message in this contact form:

We've been operating for 66 days, have not shut off all forms of payment processing for all sites so of course not many have failed completely. However we have disrupted piracy and will not stop until these sites lose ALL forms of payment processing and ad network support.
Our aim is to remove all forms of monetization for file lockers.
Given that many replies in this thread have been anti our efforts I would imagine that file lockers operators watch this thread like a hawk, in fact we have seen evidence to suggest exactly that.
We do not believe we are wasting our time. Anybody who thought this would be over in a few weeks is delusional. This is a sustained long term effort that is costing money, time and resources to run.
Paypal is able to "fine" merchants who are repeat offenders against Paypal's AUP. In other words in some cases these accounts will NOT be paid out and in those cases Paypal provides the funds to charitable organisations such as the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children.Comment

FileSonic have been in trouble most of this year, it was only a matter of time before they went.
There's some current mitigation taking place against some file lockers which started recently and will continue for some time.Comment

In 180 days their debts will have grown and who knows if the upload monkeys will get paid.
When Paypal is taken out, the next processor probably with stricter rules comes in. And there could be bigger processing fees. If you're going to fuck around with file lockers processing, might as well earn from it.Comment

POSOnline have a nice anti-Paypal message at the bottom of their home page.
In any case, POS Online will end up closing up shop, we've got special plans for them.Comment

It's interesting to see that hotfile.com is completely off the radar for the SFL project. Being previously one the worst offenders, after series of legal battles in US, they employed several methods to prevent copyright infringements, and seem to have no problems at the moment. It means that there are indeed legal models for a classic(focused on sharing files, and not storing like dropbox) file locker operations. Just kill repetitive infringement accounts, react on DMCA complaints quickly, and prevent reported files from being uploaded again by storing and comparing md5-hashes.Comment

While we understand that there is a perception that some sites are not receiving attention, the fact is that nothing could be further from the truth.It's interesting to see that hotfile.com is completely off the radar for the SFL project.

We do not discuss our targets in advance of them being dealt with unless strategically imperative for us to do so and there are many different reasons why some sites may take longer than others to deal with.
While I am not commenting on Hotfile.com, I can say that in some cases the investigations required to acheive a result can be extremely lengthy and the body of evidence required is sometimes huge. There are also other issues at play in some cases including third party investigations.
As I said, we do usually do not reveal targets until they are dealt with and we do not discuss operational matters, so for the moment I would suggest that you simply watch this space.Last edited by AdultKing; 09-01-2012, 08:33 AM.Comment

Uploaders are in despair about Netload over at WJuntion.
Meanwhile Netload are saying they have "technical issues"I normally post here under another nick but I don't know who to trust anymore.
Netload owed me >$500, been waiting for weeks, and everytime promises promises but no payment. So this week I thought I should put a bit of pressure on them. Well it didn't help much, I still don't have my money and today they closed my account, when I try to log in it says that a user by that name does not exist. Weeks of hard work and reposting file after file and what for? I feel screwed very bad, makes me sick, I want to cry.
Netload are misleading their Uploaders for some reason, that Paypal error message only happens when your account is restricted.Hello,
our paypal payment gateway has currently technical issues.
PayPal e-Mail
Please leave your e-Mail address and we will inform you when The problem is solved.

MegaShare's new business JustCloud.com have had their Paypal account terminated tonight.
New kids on the block terabit.to have had their account terminated by Paypal.
New piracy threat ( a site which may have become a problem ) FileBand.com have had their Paypal account terminated.
Edit: FileBand.com have also had their Payza account terminated leaving them with no payment methods at this time.Last edited by AdultKing; 09-02-2012, 03:36 AM.Comment

Can you elaborate more on this? It appears that even though fileband.com wasn't a problem and may not have had anything to do with piracy at all that you still went ahead and targeted them? What made them a threat? Affiliate program?
I thought your goal was to target piracy...not any site which might not have anything to do with piracy now but could in the future.Comment

Are you suggesting the files hosted by FileBand.com were all original uploaded by the rights holder ?Can you elaborate more on this?

Nice edit. Let me change it up so that it included your original post.
As per your post, they were not a problem but could have been, which is why you went after them. Had they been a problem, which would mean they contributed to piracy, then you would have clearly labelled them as such. I'm giving you the chance to clear it up.
As for your "troll" comment. There is no need for name calling. I've never called you names and I would like to think that at this point in our lives we are able to have a meaningful conversation without hurling insults...But then again maybe you haven't hit that level of maturity yet.Comment

We've found thousands of infringements on FileBand.com
They could have been a problem as they were gaining traction and could have become much bigger.Comment
-
Gaining traction isn't really a huge deal. You've had processing for larger sites terminated. The fast they did have thousands of infractions would mean the site was a problem and not on its way to becoming one. None the less, good job, i guess.Comment

We could definitely use more support.
As things stand all work is done by volunteers and our finances could be much better than they are now, we run pretty close to the bone.
Think of what we could do if we were able to employ staff on the project.Comment

We know BitShare all too well, they are the same people as run FreakShare.
We're working hard to get their payment processing shut down however both are large sites and it takes time.Comment
