P2P, Newsgroup, and YouTube style sites are never gonna end, honestly its a reality that needs to be faced at this point. Bitching about it on GFY isnt gonna change it either.
So change your mindframe on how to exploit it for free promotion, not how you can stop it, because you never will.

sorry, but GUBA has gone *way* past the point of a source of free promotion... i have personally had two of my own smaller paysites ripped totally and labeled as such ("siterip" w/ URL) show up on GUBA and had to go through their ridiculous charade of asking them to remove content they had no right to be selling in the first place.
GUBA is no longer just an indexer of the usenet, not when they are hosting the content themselves and *REPACKAGING* and *RE-ENCODING* media they have no right to alter or provide. when you look at the more common usenet indexers like newzbin.com (who indexes groups but is not a NNTP provider) it is obvious GUBA is providing a much different service, and reaping the financial rewards from it that they shouldn't be entitled to... site owners shouldn't have to police their damn site for them.
just because they have pilfered a lot of money w/ their operation doesn't somehow make them or their rogue business model legit all of a sudden... worse than CJ and their content-thieving history by a hundredfold. it takes more than a booth at a convention or paid promotion in our industry circles to suddenly make you NOT A CROOK.
i hope any affiliate people who promotes their scam portal find themselves in the future blacklisted from legitimate programs and outfits, which would be all the sweeter if GUBA gets taken down w/ a flood of lawsuits... as a paysite owner i'd have no pity on anyone who promotes and facilitates them.
oh, and GUBA... i hope you all die in the streets penniless and insane.. http://twash.com/iku/leperkiss.gif
