So let me get this straight. You run a site that boast an impressive Alexa rank of ~880 000, meaning you get a couple of hundreds clicks a day, and have a coupla dozens of uploaders at most. And you compare yourself to Hostgator? You need to be notified of infringement when you only have one page of stats to look at where you clearly see who your uploaders are and what they are up to?
Hostgator is not simply bigger. They can show gazillion of legit uses for any occassionally found infringement. Can you show us those legit uses that outweight the reported infringements by far? Why is that you're the only one complaining about termination of your "digital distribution platform"? Where are the copyrighted holders who're using your platform for digital distribution of their products, where are all those infuriated people that got their solid (and legit of course) income stream interrupted because of AK's bogus infringement reports?
I'm surprised that AK didn't (at least to my knowledge) get angry letters from such a world famous companies who're partners of fileshoppe such as Sony Music for example:

They must be happy with the royalties you're paying them on each of their songs that you sell at $0.3 at fileshoppe. Where's their angry letter?

Why aren't the heirs of Henry Hay outing AK's evil plan to stomp over their legitimate commerce through fileshoppe?

Oh wait, maybe that's because they're selling that book at $49.90 through Amazon?

But no, that can't be. They must be selling millions of copies at $0.37 through fileshoppe and that justifies such a significant reduction of price. So where is the letter?
