Again, the project is STOP FILE LOCKERS.
Once again, Then why are you bothering with link shortening services? They are not a file locker are they?

I have no doubt that the project costs a heap of money. So, let me ask you this. Since you don't the resources to go after ALL piracy related sites what made you go after the file lockers first? Do you believe they've had the biggest impact on the the market which you operate in, namely adult?

It's not that I want you to tackle tubes. To be honest, I really couldn't give a shit. You can kill all the file lockers, link shortening, image hosts you want. What I have a problem with is that 1) you are full of double standards. One minute anyone who is profiting off the traffic generate from piracy is bad, non-legitimate, and deserves everything they get but then you say how others who profit off the traffic of piracy aren't so bad.

You went from saying :
Quote:
Legitimate business does not profit from the theft of the work of others, nor does any legitimate business enable the theft of work from others.
to saying:
Quote:
While you may see XYZ program advertising on a tube, XYZ program does not exist solely to support piracy, it's primary purpose is to be an adult paysite.

The difference is clear to almost everyone except you.

Make up your fucking mind already. Stop imposing double standards and stop being a hypocrite. Either ALL businesses who profit off traffic generated by piracy are illegitimate or not they're not. I guess I am the only one who sees an issue with your double standards and free pass for adult affiliate programs who make money off traffic generated by piracy vs non-adult sites who make money off the traffic generated from piracy.
