Innocent until proven guilty and not the other way around. Have you tried sending notices to the file locker? Seeing if they've removed the content in question? Did you see if they terminated the user? If the content reappeared on the same link? You are not giving due process and make every single file locker as illegitimate.

Great thing to hide behind.

How exactly is it that you know they have terabytes of illegal content. Do you have full access to their database and file servers to be able to accurately calculate and provide proof of your claim? Or is it merely an assumption you're making based on limited links you found through various resources? You know what..don't bother answering this question as I'll answer it for you:

So, you are finally admitting that affiliate programs who accept traffic from sites based on piracy are no better than those link shorteners (who you've been shutting down)? Great. It only took 50 or so posts from me to be able to explain to you the hypocrisy of some of the posts you've made.

As I have stated, You cannot use this excuse. If you were simply limiting yourself to file lockers then link shorteners wouldn't be losing their paypal accounts. You are simply picking and choosing which sites (not limited to file lockers) that you are going after. Don't try to dispute it. We've seen it. It's just unfortunate that the sites you're picking and choosing will have 0 impact on this industry.
