Ok let me be more clear what's my point: I am not a copyright holder, and copied content does not affect my business, I think. I am an advertiser, I buy $xx,000 per month of traffic for cam site. So as part of my job, I contacted all the tubes, include motherless, videarn, and those I did not emailed/ICQ directly I dealt via exoclick, trafficjunky, trafficholder, trafficshop, plugrush and so on, I got account in every one broker. Advertised for a while everywhere, include pornhub, xvideos, xhamster and so on, like every other cam program I know of - just with less budget.
So my point it is, when I go to buy in a traffic broker, they have no any indication I am buying from pirate video page or from legitimate video page, that's all togehter. Also when I go to make direct deals with a site, I am not supposed to browse pages of videos and to recognise what is copyrighted and what not, or the age of girls is over 18, or there is no scat dog sex while rape an horse. I barely can follow the buy of links and check stats for conversion.
But then I see site X been sued, and there 20 john does (the advertisers) included in the list of bad guys. Now there is 2 layers before of the final advertiser john doe: 1) the site, who hosts the bad thing and should remove it, and 2) the broker ad network, who display my banner in the bad page when I choice "US traffic" and runs on whole network, even I wanted to skip a bad site I knew, I should try blacklist filters or complicated things like that, and still how I know 1000 site domain names... in other thread I posted a whole dozen of file locker hosted dvd rips that was (and still are) in skim traffic broker network I use often.
So you see my point, as a buyer of ads, there's no any way to know you buy on legit or illegal pages, unless you do a super research yourself which you have no time to do and anyway it seems even the most experts out there in GFY don't provide as a list.
Would AK / stopfilelocker or other entity make a list of good and bad tubes/skim domains, updated weekly, and ad networks provide this as pre-made whitelist/blacklist filter, we as advertisers could select "Only legal sites" or "All, include illegal", would save us time and be in john doe accused lists.
PS: I never advertised on torrent sites like piratebay... this is easy to skip (but lots cam ads there... not ours)
