Should Sponsors That Support Torrent Sites Be Boycotted?
 

Should sponsors like AFF, DatingGold, Wegcash be boycotted for suporting Torrent sites?

By the way this is not an anonymous poll

of course not "they dont know about it unilt someone contacts our legal time, even then we will place the email in the trash"

no. :321GFY

and pretend it was a rogue affiliate and we will term his account and open a new one for him

nothing will happen. Money talks and there is a lot of it going around. You can either make money with those programs or try other programs. But in the end for most people, money talks in business.

But if enough people get behind it, mainly the big programs, something can be done, if Sponsors start sending google and other search engines DMCA's they can atleast start cleaning the torrent links out of the search engines, it's a start and it works

I'm the one not hiding behind a fake nick and you?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh owned!

It's sad when people have to make a fake nick because they dont have the balls to say what they really think:2 cents:

Did you people also know that torrent sites also list 1000's of child porn torrents? I'm sure I wouldn't want to work for a company that sponsors the cp industry

So all the no voters are you ok with porn companies having there banners flying next to Kiddie Porn torrents?

Cheaters, spammers, spyware installers, shavers and content thieves are the scum of the earth.

Be scum and you are gone on my book:

Any asshole who supports scum IS scum.

Yes, they should. But what does it mean to be "Boycotted"? What exactly do we do?

ONLY IF YOU FINALLY SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT IT then maybe

shitlisted and not promote them

but if I or anyone else shuts up about it, nothing will be done and it will be swept back under the carpet, if people keep voicing there opions on shitbag companies other people will take notice and stop making these fuckers money, I'm sick off all these posts too, believe me, but as I said if nothing is said it will just be the next accepted practice in our industry

can you show me where Wegcash is supporting torrent sites?

Perfect!

The 2 top banners http://www.torrentspy.com/search

oh wow

i never would have thought wegcash would support piracy

serious business

I'd say more sad business madawgz, those sites are riddled with child porn

yeah i read about that in another thread

thats fucked up, and im sure all the reported child porn torrents would be removed from any tracker if you told the owner of the site...

I'd be tippin they'd know it was there mate, thats the sad thing with these torrent site owners they dont give a fuck, seems some sponsors dont mind having there company banner flying next to those sort of things either

When I go to that site, the two banners on the top are advertising hacked adult website passwords, and a banner that says "All the adult content of an expensive paysite, absolutely free!" Yep, sounds like a great business model eh?

people supporting thief like this makes me so ashamed of our industry, its so sad.Also bringing it to light can never stop, I will bring it up at the FSC meeting.

Their excuse is that they are "service providers". Uh huh.

3rd grade ed-du-ma-cation?

has DH voted yet? i wonder what option that carrion feeder would select..?

Do you really have to wonder? :1orglaugh

nice hey?

what counts is the money..............

Tell me the sponsers and I will boycott them, im only a little affiliate but i dont want my little traffic going to those who support theft :2 cents:

I would rather sleep sound at night.

madawgz, we don't. The webmaster in question has been termed and to be clear:

WEGCash does not support torrent sites.

A lot of free Twisty's content on TorrentSpy, but one of the advertisers is promoting Twisty's heavily. Maybe he'll have some insight into whether or not his Torrent account is giving Twistys a lot of sales and is worth allowing rather than blocking. Of course, this would also mean that Twisty's is profiting from the sales from all the free content of other programs too. Would be interesting to see some real numbers I think.

I don't care, what's my share? :)

I can't speak for Shap but I will bet he doesn't know about this. He has always been very honest and not a fan of people stealing his content.

oh okay cool

same two duchebags keep making threads about this with non anonymus polls...guess what I dont care if you know because you guys are too stupid to figure out a way to make it work for everyone....have you ever downloaded a torrent? it is a huge pain in the ass...most surfers will get frustrated and gladly pay in the end....its no different than a TGP except the fact it converts

Quoted for truth.

Let's see sponsors terminate affiliates for getting traffic from TGP's that post galleries with stolen content. Oops, there goes the entire TGP industry.

Thanks Ruth,
OH and nice to see The DatingGold crew showing there true colors in the poll,
FUCK SPYWARE!! But they dont mind there banners flying next to CP torrents, Great company

So you would work for a company that knowinigly advertises on a site that also has CP torrents on it, who's the douche bag you fuckin rodent? oh and have a look at the second post it states that the poll is NOT anonymous

Ya this is what I was thinking, I don't see Shap supporting that kind of thing at all.

No because I wouldn't have any sponsors left to use.

ha ha ha good one No your wrong mate, there are plenty of great sponsors out there that Dont practice shady shit like this

and who exactly IS a fan of their content being stolen? :helpme

But yes of course you are correct. How could sponsors/content owners possibly know about their content being on the top torrent sites? I mean it would take a lengthy investigation of at least five to seven seconds to determine this and an additional five to seven seconds each day to monitor any new uploads. But there are a shitload of torrent sites and 100 "uh please delete this torrent" daily emails apparently don't work at stopping it so there is fuck all they can do even if they wanted to.

Likewise how could sponsors not know where that traffic from a big affiliate is coming from?

:error :1orglaugh :error

Give me your list and I bet l could reduce it down to nothing in 30 minutes if I could be bothered..and that would just be using the GFY search function (with backup from multiple affiliates and/or screencaps not just "I heard they suck" type posts) without even having to leave this site. :thumbsup
