Mike South, you playing games now?

This was only a problem with old accounts, new accounts that upload content which gets DMCA'd get blocked so fast, they usually do not fill up with content first.

And yes, you should, because per DMCA they have to react to counter notices...

That alone, an email address, is not the issue. However, the rest of the premise is a slippery slope legally. I think it is a great common sense idea, make no mistake about it. But I also see the flip side of the coin legally, and within the so-called justice system.

I believe they are making an honest attempt, that is my personal feeling.

However, I think it is a balancing act. I say this from my own actual experience, and understanding of the market, or the tube site business. Even on small tubes, it is difficult to deal with those just uploading for ego, or whatever. You have people willing to upload large volumes of shit just so they can be the first to post a link on some forum. Not even for money. Just for being "cool".

I think Nathan/Fabian/whatthefuckever is a figurehead of a corporate conglomerate. I believe he has layers that advise him what he can, and cannot say publicly. I think they are probably making some level of a best effort to deal with this issue, but can't openly admit that they are doing any level of oversight that could be used in court.

I see things from a different point of view per se. More so from the ugly side of how corporate America works, from my years before porn. I think that Schultz is really trying to balance out being a good corporate porn citizen, without completely destroying their business model (i.e. losing all of the traffic).

Just like the CCBill threads of the past week, once things are BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION, you may see some results. Same as Schultz has mentioned that when they get DMCA's, they act on them. What I am getting at here is, once something is brought up they deal with it. But they are not going to openly admit they go looking for it, as legally they could be on the hook.

I would say this is probably what his team of lawyers in Vegas have advised him, but that is just my guess. If you have a whole legal team with you at a conference, I would say that they probably have given you some parameters and public 'corporate line', you must operate within.

Certain things my lawyers instruct me to do, I do not really care about.. or forget... in this case, I have no clue if they ever told me not to acknowledge or not... so you got lucky ;)

A handful of their affiliates are screaming about closed accounts on some of the boards. I know it's still open for some.


I hope that is foreshadowing.

I saw that too, I also think that what you are seeing on those boards is the tip of the iceberg. I have some numbers of what some of those file hosts have in terms of profit a month, the numbers you see there on those boards are peanuts. Its the small people complaining... just as it happens so often on adult boards... The big fish, you will not see, they have nothing to complain about.

I'm a fucking Megalodon bitch.

No. You're a fucking idiot.

Who cares how someone looks like? You can't judge people on that !

There are places in the world with hosting companies that won't give a fuck. you need to go through a court to achieve what you suggest.

This is why you need to get a PR company to reform your image. It makes people think you have something else to hide. No one is going to curse you for throwing MW's weight and money behind this, if you do in straight and openly.

Get a PR man.

Get lawyers around the world.

And pirating it. AND has roved pointless.

Get behind this fight by funding someone else or setting it up and getting a good PR company to advise you. You're a 9 figure company for goodness sake, act like one.

Paul, I hate suits, I would never wear them, only only wear jeans and hoodies, I am comfortable with it and thats how it is...

Did we ever get an official answer to how many toilets are in each of the various Manwin corporate offices?

careful with the hoodies when you go to florida

what's more exhausting, being a moron or a sycophant ?

Ringside seat to some heavyweight banter.

(not Paul's frivolousness, have a seat codger)
