Keep up the good work, sir! :)

When we started the Stop File Lockers project there were over 1500 file lockers, now there are less than 700. Now we have shifted gear. From now on we target File Lockers, Tubes, Torrent Trackers, USENET and other piracy "sink" sites. We also target Piracy Sources such as Blogs, Forums, Link Lists, File Directories, File Search Sites and so on.

We built a customised platform called Raptor to conduct all operations and this was in beta between May and June 30 2014. It is now in full exclusive use.

On the 1st of July we reset Raptor. We removed all the sites that had been killed between June 2012 and June 30 2014. The reason we did this was so that we had a clear picture of statistics and data from the time Raptor went into exclusive use. We only use Raptor now for operations against sites.

So as of today here are the stats.

Piracy Sites: 856
Sites Killed: 37
Piracy Sources: 42738
Sources Killed: 1616

A Piracy Site is a tube, torrent tracker, file locker or USENET service.
A Piracy Source is a site that links to content on a Piracy Site. Forum, Blog, Link List, File Directory etc.

Are you sure about these numbers?

We believe we have identified a new filehost as a returning recently shut down filehost.

More details to follow as we confirm our findings.

Evidence of your involvement? or reporting news?

Velociraptor from the Cretaceous Period? or Trogloraptor? :1orglaugh

He's not too hot on actual evidence he has done anything.

He's shit hot at asking for money though.

It's a brilliant model. Achieve nothing, get money. The man is a genius.

Obviously if he had done what the mpaa and riaa have been trying to do for decades, they would be all over him. The fact they aren't speaks volumes.

Clothes. New. Emporer.

Those numbers represent the sites we know about, we think they're pretty close to the mark.

Can you shoot me details, if it's a recently shut down host then we'll be able to kill payment processing very quickly.

You are not a member of Adult IP, you do not have access to our collaboration systems and as such you are on the outside. As an outsider you get what we release publicly and nothing more.

Bird of Prey. Idiot.

There's plenty of evidence, the members of Adult IP and those in our collaboration system see everything as it unfolds daily. However you are neither a contributor or member, therefore you get what we release publicly. Deal with it.

As an outsider you have no idea who we do and do not deal with, therefore as I said, deal with the fact it's not your business to know.

I hope you found that of interest and some use.

Yes , thanks.

I deal with it by pointing out you've not proved you've done a thing.

In two years.

If you did, maybe you'd not need to keep begging for money.

I totally believe the 11 or so people that are members of your gang love and are impressed with you. However, the fact you need to beg weekly for money or you'll be finished suggests that people need convincing you're achieving anything.

And it's not the mpaa or riaa or you'd all be talking about it. And you'd not need to beg for money every week because they have billions. Think it through before you post.

If you were achieving anything they'd be working with you. If they were working with you, you'd not need to beg webmasters for 30 bucks. Think it through.

I bet they'd love your insinuation though.

You're getting worse at this bobby.

As you're not a member of Adult IP , not a supporter and have in fact positioned yourself as anti this project then don't expect anything more than we announce publicly.

Your attempt to goad me into revealing information will not work. However your total obsession with this thread speaks volumes.



There's in excess of 20. Given that you have no demonstrable experience doing anything of consequence it doesn't surprise me that you don't realise that the type of operation we run costs a lot of money.



I've never said they work with us, again your attempts to get me to confirm or deny anything about any organisation we work or do not work with is fruitless.

Damian, don't take this personally but seriously consider educating yourself before you go spouting off your crap on this forum. The fact is you are outside , you have no clue about what we do. All you do is carp on with demands for proof to you about what we have done, but you are not our constituency so there's no way I'm providing you a shred of information that I don't make a conscious and considered decision to share publicly.

You have been told this many times, yet your child like demands continue. I wonder why ?

I don't. I don't expect proof you've ever achieved anything. I think you know why.

Your lack of proof you've achieved a single thing speaks a lot louder.

Wow. Out of the whole industry, you've only got 20 and not a single one of them is prepared to state publicly they are involved. Oh dear. :(

Launched Playboy UK, worked for the biggest brands in the industry, given seminars and invited to speak on panels in London, Amsterdam, Vegas, invited to contribute to one of the most successful threads on the original Educational Series etc etc etc.

No, nothing of consequence.

Um, where did I suggest you didn't want a lot of money? I bet you want as much as you can get. I said if you wanted people to donate, you should prove you have done something, anything, with the money people have given you over the last two and a half years.

I didn't say you did. You and your straw men. I just pointed out that if you have managed to do what they have been trying to do for the last dozen years with the billions of dollars they have, they would be all over you. They aren't. Speaks volumes.

I know, you keep saying this, I've never suggested otherwise.

I'm not "demanding" a thing. Just saying, if you have to keep begging for money on a weekly basis IF you showed you'd achieved something, anything, then you'd get more money.

You've been told many times I am not "demanding" anything. Merely suggesting, as a very well paid marketing consultant, that if you showed your audience you had actually done something, anything, then you might not need to keep begging and saying you will have to close down due to lack of funds.

I'm trying to help.

You mean my lack of explanation in public about how we do what we do ?

Yes you're right, there is no way that we will provide to the general public any detail of how we do what we do, who we work with to do it or what our targets may be.

You're not looking in the right places. GFY isn't industry representative anymore.

Held a few seminars, posted in a thread, launched a brand. Oh that's right you did a few magic tricks and appeared on a game show too. Really earth shattering stuff there.

In my opinion, nothing noteworthy at all, sorry mate but you're a hack who spends his free time trolling forums.

Funnily enough the people who have given us money have (a) seen a benefit and (b) are mostly involved in day to day operations or have access to our collaboration systems.

I don't need to post what we do behind closed doors here, there's no point, the people who contribute and need to know already do.

I find this amusing because it demonstrates clearly your lack of adequate knowledge or education about this subject to even get the basic facts right.

Anyone can join Adult IP if they meet the membership criteria and then they can see what we do. Pretty simple concept. You wouldn't be accepted as a member, therefore outside you shall remain.

I know a few well paid marketing consultants and personally I wouldn't get them to clean my bathroom let alone let them loose on a project I was running. No offence.

Yeah right.

It's hilarious, we have some people like you and 8pt-buck demanding proof because the premise is that we do nothing, then we have others asking for our heads to be presented to them on plates because we have hurt "innocent" businesses.

Either way the people who are either affected by what we do, or those who have no business knowing what we do complain. It's a fact of life, you can't please everyone.

We'll keep doing what we're doing, the pirates can keep crying and you can keep begging for information you'll never get.

Mr. King, your overinflated ego has you in a mental illusion thinking people want you to reveal information. The public expects answers to be supported by facts and tangible evidence. You love to solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion for additional attention and money.


In two years only twenty people are in collaboration with you?

Since this projects launch two years ago, not one shred of proof has been presented of any of your activities. A letter of thanks from those you've assisted? Paypal?, Visa/MC? a payment processor or anything tangible?

I design Cloud infrastructures. I specialize in c, c++, java, python, php, ruby & asp. My clients demand proof.

Makes one wonder if I was to launch a anti-piracy company, how would I begin.
{-} First I would name it
{-} Fill the pages with other anti-piracy companies accomplishments
{-} Obtain a proxy server (thirty ips would suffice)
{-} Create numerous unheard of file lockers/Fictitious who-is info
(No paypal, Visa/MC but advertise them)
{-} Download copyrighted content
{-} Create upload accounts on numerous file lockers
{-} Upload copyrighted content on to those lockers using my proxies
(Notify Paypal, Visa/MC of copyrighted content)
{-} Send official emails of my findings to the contents copyright holders
(My attempt to fish in clients to support me)
{-} Create a channel on GFY bragging success terminating payment processors/Paypal, shutting down my own fictitious file lockers, begging for money
{-} Use GFY as a blog/chat box.
(Psss, ak I have info / pssss, send it to copycontrol)

Fish in gullible/naive outsiders to support me. The remaining supporters are my people using one of the thirty IPs. If questioned, I'll call them a pirate/have excuses for everything.

ok ok we get it, he is apparently scamming people. 144 pages and you still trying to educate people of him being a scammer, yet no one has come out stating he has scammed them, plus 144 pages should be enough for potential victims to decide for themselves. There is only so much you can do to help people, at some point you going to let go of their hand.

apparently his efforts are useless so he is not hurting anyone, ignore this thread and him and you wont even notice he or this project is alive.

you got your point across literally years ago in this thread, you are not involved in piracy so he is not inferring with your business, so...trolling are we? :)

You're not my client, nor a part of my constituency.

If that's how you would do it, then you'd be a fraud.

Are you suggesting we have created file lockers, use proxy accounts, downloaded and uploaded copyright content and then somehow orchestrated their shutdown ?

This is almost as ridiculous as the file locker owners of Keep2Share who are suggesting we created fake billing companies to give them a higher than normal fraud to sale ratio.

It stands out a mile that you are one of just a very few people who will at every breath, attempt to discredit our project - why is that ?

Additional excuses :1orglaugh

Exactly

Direct me to where I typed or even suggested that. Someone appears to have a guilty consciousness. Why is that?

It's extremely simple to accomplish.

You're discrediting yourself with your lack of proof and constant excuses. If your activities are hush hush, why are you here? Are you baiting and fishing for additional money? You do not have Instant messenger?
Laughable.

I am here to update the community on events which have taken place in our efforts to mitigate the illegal file locker industry.

You may have missed this but the title of the thread is "Killing off File Lockers". That's what we do and when one is killed off or has payment processing or other services terminated then it's posted here.

Pretty simple stuff, even you should be able to comprehend that.

We do not know if DamianJ is involved in piracy or not. His last normal sig claimed high CTR for his clients. Who are his clients? Where does DamianJ's work appear? On Yahoo.com? More like Pornhub network and ad networks who cater to pirates, pedos and others. Who knows even the ad networks claim not to know as they do not check.

AK's work is affecting Damian's clients. That is why he is here. If AK was scamming people we would have heard something like 140 or pages back but no, we only hear from DamianJ and pirates. Why is that?

A new file locker YONZY.COM has begun advertising to uploaders on WJunction.

http://stopfilelockers.com/wp-conten...tion-offer.jpg

http://stopfilelockers.com/wp-conten...iles-Yonzy.png

http://stopfilelockers.com/wp-conten...ount-Yonzy.png

We'll have them dealt with within 24 - 48 hours.

The ownership of the site is extremely interesting.

http://stopfilelockers.com/yonzy-new...-to-imgah-com/

Is this a good place to announce my new file hosting service?

Absolutely, I love to kill them when they're young.

We now have a working Report Piracy form again.

http://copycontrol.org/report-piracy

You notify us of Tubes, Torrent Sites, File Lockers, Debrid Sites, Forums, Blogs, Link Lists etc.

You may enter an email address if you want us to follow up the report with you or submit it anonymously. You may also include screenshots or other files relevant to the report e.g.: sample DMCA requests.

Please provide your feedback and let us know if we can make any improvements.

I have said I am not.

Unlike you, who admits to stealing content right here.

Astonishing hypocrisy!

Now, post proof about your claims.

Course not. That is the GENIUS of the plan.

1) Say you will do something EVERYONE wants
2) Ask for money to do it
3) Provide no evidence you have done anything
4) Profit

It's genius.

No. Sorry you are struggling with this. I mean EVIDENCE that you have done anything.

Not asking about details of your super secret cool kid club back room. Just some evidence that you have achieved anything.

But we both know that won't happen.

I think if you DID post that you'd get more money.

What would satisfy you Damian.

If you look at the Stop File Lockers blog I said we would target FileOM and two days later they lost merchant processing. Is that ESP ?

Same thing with Keep2Share, we said we would go after them and 2 days later no merchant accounts.

If you look again you'll see I said we would target Xerver and a day later they lost 3 forms of payment processing.

If you look today you'll see there's a very big post about a new File Locker, Yonzy - in a couple of days they won't have payment processing.

Way back in the thread I said there was big news coming about a large site - a few days later Hotfile was deprived of Paypal, was that ESP also ?

There's not much we can provide you that won't expose either our methods or who we deal with to achieve what we do, so you tell me, what would satisfy you ?

Smart business model.
Surf the nets message warez forums / take screen captures / post those captures here / hold conversations with the straw men in this channel making sure it stays bumped / another reputable agency is responsible for cancelled merchant accounts / post the news here as if it was personally done / collect donations / rinse and repeat. :2 cents:

Those are the speculations when proof is not posted.


Are the people you deal with and the methods of obtaining evidence illegal? Perhaps this is the basis not being able to post tangible proof.

LMAO!

The pirates want to know how we find out who they are and shut down there file hosting sites and link distribution networks.

I will be happy to discuss our methodology or anything else about our business. I would require that you purchase the business though.

So what you're saying then is that I am psychic and can predict in advance when someone else will take down a website's payment processing.

Everything we do is legal. Read my post above, several recent examples where we have set out to target sites, notified the world beforehand and then the sites lost processing.

I am either psychic or shutting down file lockers payment processing, you choose which to believe.

You won't get any more information than I post publicly, so you can just continue your whiny little snide remarks and questioning of our work. Any rational person will see from your posting history in this thread that you have an axe to grind.

We have an Aussie slang word to describe people like you, it's "drongo". Look it up.

The truth is that both amateurs and professional studios could have been distributing their sample content for free, and still have got lots of cash to their PayPal account, if it wasn't for AK and his sponsors. IMHO, this crusade against "new" online services has become a threat against free speech and the Internet itself. Does anyone know if AK has contributed with any content or real products to mankind? To me he seems like a scam artist - a dangerous one - and just yet another DMCA leech. I am starting to think that he and his funders have to be put out of play. And no, I am not asking for donations... :)

A brand new nick and a new tube too.

Dissenting against anti-piracy actions, imagine that!

Yes, one of the reasons I registered on this board is to mess with the voices in your head. Btw, I hope to receive some DMCA take down requests from your company soon, so I can contact your clients with an offer they can't resist...

We do not provide DMCA service. Good luck with getting in my head also.

Can't wait to start poking around on your server @ 50.7.137.74

FDC Servers are always a joy.

What I am saying is that as long as there is no tangible proof, speculation will always shadow you.

You appear to be very protective of your string of twenty straw men.
(If they exist)

Since you enjoy posting screen captures / bragging of terminated merchant accounts, immature name calling, ask your string of twenty straw men for permission to take full credit.
(This way they stay protected)
Example

Are the account executives at Visa/MC to be protected?
Are the account executives at Paypal to be protected too?

Anything short paints a screen that you, with your straw men are possibly the uploaders then reporting it to aforementioned payment processors.

One last thing before I go. Have you ever considered where the illegal content server/databases go after the lockers payment processor is terminated? Hopefully you're not narrow-minded enough to think they are all terminated.

Yes, and they take DMCA just as seriously as I do. Have a sniff around, I am sure you'll find something that excites you.

Autodesk release their software for free for a few Paypal dollars ?

http://stopfilelockers.com/wp-conten...13e21d9450.jpg

Stolen content is not free speech, it's theft.

I do. I've released software, run pay sites, commissioned custom content, worked in the early development of Internet infrastructure in Australia, contributed to several open source projects, pioneered premium rate telephone services in Australia, developed IT security services and developed a distributed multi-threaded web crawler we use for our anti-piracy operations just to name a few of my lifetime achievements.

We don't send DMCA notices, we shut down sites. We work with several DMCA service providers who run their own businesses and send us copies of their DMCA notices to help us build evidence.

And look at this, a brand new nick who just happens to wander into this thread to start calling people scam artists. What a surprise, another sock puppet awakes.

Deal with the fact that I am not providing you with any more information than I choose to release publicly.

I don't know how many times it needs to be repeated. :2 cents:

Brand new user, all his/her posts in this thread.

Sounds Legit.

Yes, of course it was us who uploaded more than a million infringing files to Keep2Share, not to mention all the other file lockers.

Are you really this stupid ?

My point exactly.

Anyway, I think most of us agree that the DMCA-bots have become a threat to innovation and the Internet as we know it. You are mostly a threat to a huge US industry (and I also think you're a threat to the democracy movements in low-income countries).

What a surprise, you are sometimes wrong too. Anyway, it was nice talking to you. I am sure we'll get the chance to chat again. Now you know my position, and now I have some websites to build and some DMCA requests to handle...

How is removing the web of content theft a threat to democracy movements in low income countries ? You mean by depriving poor Indian uploaders of income from posting tens of thousands of pieces of stolen content to file lockers every week ?

What I do know is that you're going to be getting some extra special attention, thanks for the heads up.

One of the first things I saw on the Internet, after BBS and gopher, was people scanning their porn magazines and sharing them for free on the Usenet. That didn't make me run to the magazine publishers asking for donations to shut down Usenet. Instead I was hoping to one day be able to watch videos on demand.


Thanks, I am a sucker for attention. Yes, we will do this fight in the open.

Which is fine by me so long as the content owners allow their content to be shared in that way.

You must remember that copyright holders have the sole right to determine who can access their content and on what terms.

That means if they don't want their content on a tube and you allow it to be placed there then you're at risk of a DMCA notice at best or to be sued to oblivion at worst.

Well you have certainly achieved your aim of attracting attention, good luck with that. :2 cents:

What I see now is your "supporters" uploading and sharing vids just to make potential customers see their watermarks. That's how low you have made them sink.

In some cases content owners do this and it's quite a legitimate model to use.

In other cases, pigs might fly. :2 cents:

So, which file lockers and traffic sources should I recommend to my partners?

Ones that have nothing at all to do with pirated content, good luck. :2 cents:

Well, they are only interested in making money from legal porn. The problem with the distribution channels that pays like 90% back to the IPR-holders, is that they are full of ads selling other sites. Do you know of any good advertising free file lockers that pays well for let's say 7 minute HD samples?
