    Why are sales down? - RAPIDSHARE

    Not going to say who, and you can slam me and say drama/BS, etc. whatever, but I've been told the owners of Rapidshare are laughing all the way to the bank. This source estimates they're doing over 200k/day.

    Let's face it, if you're a surfer what site offers as much bang for the buck as Rapidshare - where you can get stolen content from every site under the sun.

          I agee, but what can anyone do? Outside of taking these torrent sites to court I don't think anything will be successful in halting their growth/popularity.

              Maybe we can start RapidShare2 that doesn't have as many pictures and is all R-rated teaser material. That will solve it.

                              The sad truth is, that it is not just things like rapid share that are bringing down sales. It is a LOT of things at the same time. Do the trading sites have an effect? Yes they do. But so does the economy, as well as the season, as well as the things like zango. With all this at the same time, sales and traffic are bound to drop.

                                          The economy will eventually rebound, Xmas season only last a month, and Zango is already being rooted out to some degree.... Rapidshare and sites like it are here to stay.

                                                      rapidshare is actually fairly good at taking stuff down when requested

                                                      many of the forums are feeling the pain of broken links, and are well aware of it, but unfortunately the forums are booming and they are still full of enough to keep the average wanker wanking for free

                                                      The worst part about it is the fact that the stolen content forums are getting really well indexed in the search rankings by google, so that any average newbie surfer is bound to run across a forum offering for free what they are looking for..... that is one of the biggest threats we have going now.... if the number 1 or 2 or 3rd result for the keyword you are targetting to try to sell membership to is pointing your customer to a forum where they can get your stolen content for free, it is a big problem

                                                      do a site search on google, bikinibikini has 57,000 pages indexed by google pornbb has 325,000 pages indexed etc etc

                                                          Rapidshare is the new business model for all the douchebag lowlife bottom feeders.

                                                          And it's only going to get worse.

                                                              $200k would mean they have 600,000 premium payment members. Let's not forget what the majority of Rapidshare's traffic. No worries, good ol Congress has a bill that would pretty much shut down this kinda shit.

                                                                      1) change the DMCA which is what RIAA/MPAA lobbyist are trying to do
                                                                      2) subpeona Rapdishare in Germany/Switzerland and start suing individual users on Rapidshare that upload copyright infringin content. I don't understand why RIAA/MPAA didn't go that route. I guess Rapdishare isn't in the spotlight enough like P2P.

                                                                        Comment

PornBB, Fritchy and such are full of links to full movies. There was another one that had so much free stuff, but it got shut down. Pretty sure the owners just bought another domain name and started another site.

                                                                                  - 95% of passwords sites were operated by affiliates and programs and the passwords were limited, demos or expired. Sparta & similar programs kinda nuked the whole sharing thing.

                                                                                  Now Rapdishare/Megaporn/Megarotic are giving away full DVD movies, full paysite movie rips, full paysite rips and are upselling their own memberships. How exactly do you adapt to that?

                                                                                  Let me paint a different picture. If Burgerking decided to start giving away burgers that they stole from Wendy's, what could McDonald's to prevent their business from falling apart.

The rules have changed and it's not "adapt and survive" it's "fight to survive". If anyone plans on making revenues increase for legitimate paysites/affiliates, then the theives and scam artists have to be run out of business.

                                                                                                          obviously i dont mean perfect gonzo will go out of business or so, but overall all the current trends indicate that it will be harder and harder to make money selling porn online for the small simple guy with no IT background, working from his home, trying to promote porn paysites for a living with the traditional methods
                                                                                                          I don't use ICQ anymore.

Of course not, you should catch the fucker doing it and hold them responsible.

Probably make the cost back in lawsuits as well.

I wiped out 50 pages in their XXX movie threads back in the first week of November. Not only did it stop the usage cold, it actually started to decline. I spent 5 days at it working for nothing. Sorry but I can't work for free anymore. that was nothing... I can sink this board but it would take a lot of time and time is money ya know.

Would be a legal effort I suppose, and require the little guys and big guys to all be part of it.

                                                                                                                                                                  I don't see it happening.

As more money is pooled, the effort grows larger and not only does your content become protected, other campaigns are coordinated by taking down forums.

                                                                                                                                                                      it is actually surprising how much of an effect a small amount of effort actually can have

                                                                                                                                                                      (as far as the torrents go, a strategy to go after and prosecute some of the users might go a long way in scaring their base away, all downloaders are also seeders in the process, so the risk of downloading stolen content should be the possibility of having to face legal troubles that would be public record)
