Thread: First reactions after the Megaupload case..

Not exclusive but i was buying from all the big names like Paul M, Coconut, Pheonix, Zip, Reyko, Fantasy, and whoever else had content that fit the bill + feeds. Basically i was a slave working my weekend job at the clubs, selling hosting for datahosters and running a paysite while slamming gallons of caffeine to keep me going. In the end iBill fucked me, tried to rebuild but it was tough, datahosters was sold off, bills began to mount, my site crashed and i tried to sell but the content liquidation sales began as many producers made an exit and i was up a creek.

Bascially my stupidity for busting my ass and trying to be legit.

Well, I currently own exclusive (unreleased) content around $20k and actually my content partner is editing new scenes that have been shot last weekend right at this moment. I wanna build 2 microniche paysites around this content within this year.

So yeah, the current crash of all the worst sharehosters - meaning those who paid the uploaders for every download of the pirated content - puts a big smile on my face

Not really crashed, many of them are still working fine, but everyday at least we get some small but encouraging news like this smaller service closing its service at the end of the month:
uploadbox.com

Yup. But one big enemy left: Oron. As reported on other forums the perm-banned accounts that didn't have any warez, movies or music, just porn, are currently bein re-activated.

However, with this much attention on filelockers this is the right time to bombard them with DMCA's I'd say. They think sharing porn is not risky and that they'll always gonna get away with it, as pornographers have no lobby. I'd say, if you have content out there being pirated on Oron servers, let's go and teach them a lesson!

Part of the problem is many shooters have given up trying to protect older content. They want to keep the newer stuff from getting out to fast but can only do so much. The industry has a few faces like RYC but it's a joke the big sponsors need to team up and create a service that knows what the hell it's doing. There needs to be a service with actual qualified legal professionals and techies who understand how the file sharing industry works and how to fight it effectively.

You can't just send a bunch of takedown requests to random people and expect long term results. What needs to be done is to start hauling some of the small sharing sites into court. This will prevent new ones from cropping up even if the results aren't instantaneous and word as we can now see travels fast. It might cost money but in the grand scheme of things it would be nothing compared to the amount being lost to overall theft. I'm sure many smaller people who are tired of paying for services that send DMCA notices would rather pony up to join a more organised fight.

But as said above it has to happen quickly because ones the dust settles it will be to late to keep the current momentium going.

My earnings have been up a bit the last few days, my main sponsor who i'm usually around 1:1500-1:2000 is at 1:600

Coincidence or not it's pretty sweet.

More will follow. Sounds like filesonic is next.

Reverse shaving. Stringing you along.

after some days with less posts on the "free" porn blogs they start appearing again, not like before the megaupload case, but they are growing everyday. On a blog where they were used to post complete siterips hosted on filesonic they started reuploading them hosted on extabit. On other blogs recent episodes from paysites are appearing again mostly hosted on filefactory, filepost, netload, inthevip, rapidshare and some others (somebody who doesnt read the news is even still publishing filesonic links).
The only thing i hope is all the downloaders who paid for a membership on the sites now closed (like filesonic and fileserve) won't pay it again!
