Hi AdultKing. Thx for again trying to make us out to be the bad guy and starting shit in public and accusing us of all kinds of unwarranted bullshit. You do love to create drama whenever you can.

A couple of things..

I have absolutely zero interest or need to explain our business to some random person who is not a client of ours as either a publisher or an advertiser. Once we have business to do together, I can spend more of my energy on your noise. However, I will respond here since there are other people reading it as well.

A couple of things..

First of all, PlugRush does not support piracy, and we will always assist anyone who finds something to report, and we will close down the accounts of people who clearly has a sole purpose of spreading piracy or malware. Our email is unfortunately a bit flooded these days, so the one email you sent back in may, has slipped through the cracks. The best way to get a response, or really the only way you can get a guaranteed response, is by having an account at plugrush.com and creating a support ticket. Please from now on, do that. You do not have to post them here in this thread, I will not go through them here. This is not a public plugrush support board. We have ways of doing support that works a lot better, that all others seems to be able to use.

Secondly, Plugrush now has 68040 registered domains. We do not manually approve new sites, because there really is no point. Even if we approve each site individually, we can't know from what page on each domain they are sending traffic. There is absolutely no possible way for us to pre-approve each source of traffic. Even if we do approve their homepage, and it seems clean, we can not know if that will change or if they create subpages with pirated content. And even if content seem like pirated content, it may very well be licensed.
I'm sure there are legit companies that tried to spread their content on file lockers as a marketing strategy.
You release some content on pirate sites to get people to see it and want more, then get free traffic to your main site. I'm sure that can work, and that people are doing it.
How are we suppose to know these things, what is licensed and what is not?
There are of course clear cases where there is no doubt, and I assume there are a lot of sites like that in our system. The only thing we can do is act when we get reports about it.

But to be honest, it's not really a priority for us to actively go through our 68k sites and look for things like this. That is not our job, and would only be a huge cost for us, which in return would make us less competitive as a network, because of the extra costs involved. We prefer to focus on getting people to pay for porn, and not spend our time on something that will accomplish exactly nothing, and will cost a ton of money, and also will not do anything towards getting people to stop pirating content.

It is apparently your job to do so, and you get paid to do it, and even though all the sites you find have close to no traffic at all, we are willing to spend our time going through your reports and deactivating sites that are clearly just made to promote pirated content. But, we need you to create support tickets about it, and I will see to it that it gets followed up.

We will not disable the adzones, and make them not display ads, but we will disable the publisher account so they stop making money. That is what your objective is, and it's a win win win for all of us. It's important that we do filter the traffic away from piracy sites, and towards our advertisers pages where they can pay for legit content.

PlugRush is a network that is actually a part of making this industry grow and generate revenue. We are a big contributor to people pulling up their credit cards, and actually spend money on porn. How I see it, it would be a good thing if all sites with piracy on them had ads for products that people can actually pay for, because it's important to lead people away from the free stuff, and towards what you have to pay for. And that is the whole concept of what we as an ad network are doing. We get people to pay for things. None of our advertisers would want to buy traffic from us if it weren't generating any revenue. So wherever our ads are shown, they are contributing to people pulling up their credit card, rather than downloading the content for free.

Anyone who is saying this business is declining is fooling themselves, and are probably spending their time and energy on wrong things, like suing pirates, or going after micro spam blogs using filelockers to spread vids to nerds for free, instead of going after the tubesites that probably has 90% of the adult traffic on the entire internet.
There is a ton of revenue to be collected in this business, and people are spending more money online then they have ever done in the history of the world.

Whatever it is your trying to accomplish, I have my doubts about it having any results at all. It's about as effective as trying to sue people for downloading content. It's not gonna do a god damn thing towards changing people attitued towards pirated porn. And you have this idea that going after filelockers is somehow gonna help, when it is the tubes that are really getting all the traffic.
Trying to fix a problem like piracy is not going to be solved by going after those spreading piracy. Other industries has shown that the only thing that will work, is making better products, evolving, keeping up with technology, and being innovative.

The music and movie/tv industry are starting to figure it out, with services like spotify, netflix, hulu, etc. Services that actually are getting people to stop pirating music and movies. 10 years ago everyone I knew downloaded pirated music. Record companies tried to stop it by closing down napster and making it harder to find online, suing users, making fake torrent, but it didn't help at all. What helped and resulted in me now not knowing anyone who really pirates music, is technology, innovation and brilliant people creating new things that people are willing to pay for. Like spotify, wimp, pandora and tons of other music services.

The adult industry could learn a couple of things from that.
