fleshlight stops accepting torrent traffic
 

just got this in my mail :thumbsup

Thats great but their initial refusal to stop funding thieves has pissed me off. Even though they won't be taking torrent traffic I won't send them a single hit. Not immediately terminating the account of known thieves clearly shows what kind of company they are.

nice... i never thought board pressure could have done something like that

About time they face up

unfortunately there is a diffrence between saying something and actually doing so. Not saying FL isn't doing anything though and its good to see they at least do something...can you follow me lol

I go this one

I guess FL cant win no matter what they do. Nice first step IMHO.

THAT IS THE BEST FUCKING THING I HAVE SEEN ALL YEAR!!!!!

What an awesome decision made by the company! Mad props to them!!

If you guys need anything ..... let me know!!!!

xoxo,

That's like saying sorry AFTER You've been caught stealing. You're only saying it because you've been caught.

imo fuck fleshlight and anything they're associated with

thanks for writing about mails we all have in our inbox

I'm not sure why anyone would risk further damage to the brand if they know for a fact that there are tons of people out there looking now, and some hoping that they do find something.

I agree with what you are saying 100%.

Hand approving affiliate accounts is the way to go. I just set mine to hand approve yesterday.

I'm not saying that they are going to so something either, but people ARE watching the torrent community like hawks lately. If it started up again, it wouldn't take long at all to spot.

:)

wonder if its a real email from them

huh?
why would you think it's not?

Are you even an affiliate?

Fuck you, it wasn't in my inbox.

Just got the email... used to send some traffic to them a few months back... anyway... good

AWESOME!!! :thumbsup

Good deal. Nice to see a firm stand either way.

Is this what you call a firm stand? what a joke

I think that's a great move for them.

I also think it sucks that they can't seem to win now. Judging by the responses here I can see why Lars just ignores everyone bitching about AFF ads being paired with stolen content.

Even if he cancelled the accounts of every copyright infringer out there you self-righteous sons of bitches would still bitch and never send him a hit....so of course he's gonna keep making the money while he can.

yo!!

... they are weak

fleshlight ads are still flying strong and clicking through over at adultsins. net, a particular torrent site that i have been bitching about here on gfy w/ no care at all from fleshlight... nice to see when someone finally rattles a big stick the thieves start scattering like the cockroaches they are...

Compared to the previous stand of, "some is ok but some isn't, and if we find an offender we'll call them, then maybe, etc..." then yes comparatively speaking it's more firm. :2 cents:

wow, I just woke up and saw this

so, fleshlight got caught doing shady shit, doesn't want to stop it, then figures out that too many powerful people are getting mad about it, and says "oops!" and decides to stop doing that shady shit...LOL

whateva

Sort of funny.. I actually got my first fleshlight sale in a couple months this week...

Just how much traffic does torrents sites send ?

.

Was never an affiliate. I only promised to send legit traffic. :winkwink:

I am/was. I haven't sent them any more traffic since the torrent drama began. Why do you ask?

ahahaha.. Fleshlight do not give a shit on morals, they will sell your soul for a penny if they could. they have banned torrent sites because of strictly business calculations. They just made the equation - how much money we do from the torrents sites on one hand and on the other had they asked how much money we do from pissed publishers that we can potentially loose - I guess the metrics was in favor of the pissed publishers :) hehehe

Now people here should ask them to get down on all the other video streaming sites that infringe copyright laws... they are all over them as well. torrent sites are just a fraction of thier support to piracy!

If we pressure them - then people here will win again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :):):)

regardless of torrent sties, they are still sponsoring a shit load of pirated sites and other p2p networks.

Does any one volunteer to make a site list we can send them? They are also working with third party networks that advertise them on other pirated sites like adult ads networks and ethology that advertise on many many piracy oriented sites and p2p networks via popups. If people here should gather and stop sending them traffic for a week of two till they stop piracy completely! then its a nother WIN for sure! Its ez - fleshlight are weak without the people here!

About 50 hits a day.

way to go!

That's good news...

Good first step - thanks :)

Looks like some more of us are at least looking in the right direction now.... let's just be sure to hit the gas pedal.

Good news, imho.

you sir - just publically posted that you are a moron.
good thing you're a coward and are using a fake nick.

This isn't really true.

The whole torrent thing are a gray zone right now. Web 2.0 is a lot of changes in surfers habbits, and sponros have to adapt.

There has yet to be a sponsor succesfully sued for this kind of behavior.

They are taking the right stance for the future and passing on a lot of short term cash if you ask me.

This issue isn't black and white quite yet.

Ethic wise it's clearly wrong, but legally it's different. None of the big business run their every moved based on ethic.

They proved they had some... because I doubt they would have lost that many affiliates.

yeah... got the mail too!

i noticed several big torrent sites that have no fleshlight ads anymore...
maybe we are on to something....

I just finished watching like half an hour of free porno over at Redtube, with a fleshlight ad right there just about the whole time

always there to stick up for the bros still eh, even when it comes to theft? you've got a little something brown there next to your lip..

:321GFY

adultsins. net is still flying their FLeshLight banners on every served page, so Josh is still full of shit as far as i'm concerned.

personally i hope Evan turns on them when he's done w/ AFF, its high time those who make pirating our content profitable for these people get brought to the mat for their blatant disregard for those who make content..

You can't even spell "publicly" you fat shit. Who's the moron now?

And a coward using a fake nick? Check the join date, dickhead.

Well done FL good to see

People are never happy.

Better late than never!!!!

If they hold true to this, that is just one more step in the piracy battle. You guys made the right move, and it will pay off for you I'm sure.

Thank you Flesh Light.

But if you renege... hell hath no fury like a dirty white boy scorned.

dreaming of a better world,
can dreams come true?
I'll keep on dreaming,
the rests up to you.

It's not like torrent'ers will buy much of anything

The real trick will be watching Alexa over the next few days to see if there is a major drop off. It will be interesting to see.

cool idea :D
this should be interesting....
