What are you talking about?
Most images are not sold. They are made available for free downloads. Mostly they seem to be the kinds of photos you stick up on places like Facebook.
Some photographers use our system to sell their photos too but as I said, mostly are just personal photos and we are being used as a means of file transfer/storage.

So you believe high traffic sites can only be infringing? And it is also impossible to make sure the overwhelming majority of images that you sell are not infringing?

I did not say that, or mean anything remotely close to it. What I was saying is, if we truely were encouraging the use of our services to infringe copyright, I would imagine our traffic rank would be much higher. We are small fry. Perhaps we should just let users upload whatever they want and ONLY act in cases of take down requests. As it stands, we pro actively take down files that we can identify easily. Perhaps this is a bad idea for us? Maybe we should just let infringers upload and get our traffic up? Oh wait, no we don't do that. We have ethics. Do you? Does AdultKing?
FileShoppe isn't just a hosting service provider. We implement our content protection system into other systems too. For example, vectorious.net. They sell many vector graphics and have started to sell individual vectors for $0.99 each using the CarrotPay system. If it is indeed SFL that is responsible for taking away Paypal from Carrot, then they have effectively prevented Vectorious from conducting such sales and can only continue using the original Paypal subscription method. Nice collateral damage don't you think.
Why do you like to post links not relevant to this topic? They do not offer the same system as we do. But if you are into posting irrelevant links, here's some for you
google.com
yahoo.com
facebook.com
aol.com
They all have MANY users... not sure why this is relevant but I thought you might like to know it just the same.
