While those file hosts that have an affiliate program, I cannot even fathom which one of them could be even remotedly considered legit.

It's all theory about those legit filelockers. Show us just one REAL example of such legit file locker with an affiliate program, and I'm sure AK will make a point of not targetting it, and he'll also make sure to never say he's after ALL of them again. Until you show us real example(s) it's all theory and basically typical pro-piracy rant about not stepping over the "freedoms" and not targetting "legit" sites. None of us have ever seen such a legit filhosting site with an affiliate program in our entire lifespan, that's why AK and the rest of us are saying that we're after all of them. But if you can prove us wrong and show real examples, and post proof to show those sites are indeed legit, I'm sure AK will be happy to exclude them from the hit list. Neither he or any one of us is here to spend time on nothing and going after the sites that are legit and do not hurt our business in the least bit.
I have better things to do than search the web. You guys are already obviously doing just that. I'm not pro-piracy so don't label me as such. Tubes and file lockers hurt everyone in this business. I never said i disagreed with what AK was doing and in fact I support it. What I AM against is going after the sites with no violations just because they do have an affiliate program. I do believe a person is innocent until proven guilty. An affiliate program is not proof of being guilty...Stolen content and CP is.
