You run a site that boast an impressive Alexa rank of ~880 000
We have a low Alexa rank because we do not allow copyright content on our servers. If we find it, we remove it. That makes for a very unpopular file locker (for copyright infringement any way).

Why is that you're the only one complaining about termination of your "digital distribution platform"?
I am not complaining. Our business has yet to be affected given the majority of our downloads comes from HK and China where funding by bank transfer and 99Bill are preferred over Paypal. We NEVER accepted Paypal, so the actions of AdultKing have had virtually no effect on us. Therefore, not too many complaints as of yet, and as mentioned before, my participation in this forum is not to get you guys off our back, but to offer a means of contact should such problems arise. Let me put it this way. If adult content is uploaded, how are we to know if it is authorized or not? There are some things which are obvious. TV Shows, movies and the like. And we take care of those pretty quickly. But some random mp3 file. Are we to assume that all mp3 files are copyright? How about images? We get hundreds of photos uploaded, mostly, I assume as a means of transferring them from A - B.

It is unreasonable to expect us to check every single file that gets uploaded, particularly the very small ones. We rely on people to report such abuse. And the abuse that goes on at Hostgator and other large hosts is far less easy to detect given the websites are cloaked behind their domain.

How do you suggest we police the tiny files? How do you suggest we check for copyright infringement for things that are not obvious?
