I am actually getting all my ducks in a row on ad networks supporting these sites.

The idea will be to strike with precision and strike hard against companies supporting piracy through advertising on file locker eco system sites - so a case is being developed and the issues are being worked through so that some positive impact can be achieved through an assertive and co-ordinated mitigation.

Some initial test salvos have been fired off at some companies to test how seriously these companies take the piracy issue. Obviously there are some companies supporting massive amounts of copyright infringement and in some cases illegal content such as child pornography.

One company said to us

"I would like to draw your attention to the fact that Copy Control Pty Limited, as a private company has, under no circumstances, the right or the power to impose [redacted] to take any action towards our partners and notably terminate our relatioship." (sic)

In essence completely dismissing the fact that their pop up ads adorn no less than two hundred piracy sites with reasonable amounts of traffic. However once their credit card merchant relationships are impacted they will hopefully be a lot less arrogant.

Simply look at sites like PlanetSuzy or IntPorn to see where our efforts will likely be directed.
