If that's true then you wouldn't be complaining in this thread about being targeted. Regardless, Paypal is not the only payment system we communicate with.

Well it appears you have missed some.

The files above, which I have posted in this thread earlier are still there.
I would expect that if a file was no longer available that your system would say so and would NOT offer a monetization or sign up option. By providing a monetization or sign up option you're still monetizing piracy.

You certainly sound like a lot of bark, but where's the bite.

If there's no bite then why are you complaining ?

You do realize that FileShoppe is a digital sale platform? The whole point is for content providers to sell their stuff in order to MAKE money right? We don't incentivise file sharing. We encourage file selling. Selling files is the only way we can make money. And we take a very reasonable fee, unlike many other providers offering 'similar' services.
|
You can call it what you like, the fact remains people can upload infringing content and take a monetary payment per download, you also profit for each download. If the content is infringing then you're profiting for piracy and we will work to shut you down.

This is a bit of a joke. I have already answered this and provided a number of links showing original content being sold. As for your claim of THOUSANDS of examples of infringing content, please do share it. I'de like to see how many files you can actually find still on our system.
|
These for example, still there after you knowing about them for 24 hours.

We already have an AUP that prohibits the use of our service for copyright infringement, and the point of my coming to this forum is to inform you all how to contact us, and cooperate to the fullest extent.
As links being posted on 'warez' forums, how exactly do you suggest we police this? Through reports? And why not let a copyright owner post their own links/content on Warez forums if the result is they get paid for what is theirs.
|
Let's get real. Rights holders don't post content that has cost large amounts of money and creative effort to piracy forums and blogs in the hopes of making a few cents per copy sold.
Rights holders will not support a system which engages in ripping them off all day every day.
You're living in fairy land, we have heard these arguments before however have never managed to find one software company, one film studio, one record producer that uses piracy sites or infringing file locker services as a distribution platform.

Who is 'us'? You? I'm sure we can arrange some read only access to what information we do have for auditing purposes. But it certainly won't be to you. Perhaps an organization with actual authority. Or a person who has a little more respect for others. Besides, you claim to know a lot but I'm not seeing evidence of such. And if you had access to our back end, you probably wouldn't believe what you saw.
|
Of course when push comes to shove you won't allow audit of your systems and processes, you want to be selective about who you provide it to, you wouldn't want to give it to and organization like Copy Control because Copy Control would insist you take effective measures to minimize and prevent piracy.

We're not appealing for public sympathy. We are here in a show of good faith so that if our services result in your copyright material being illegally shared, we are here to take it down. You haven't once contacted us to take down any material. In fact, NO ONE HAS. Just ask us to remove content if you find it, and it will be done. Don't believe me, TRY IT! What do you have to lose? Your dignity for totally screwing up? Don't worry, you didn't have much to begin with (but I'll give you some for at least TRYING to fight the good fight).
|
Good faith would be not having the bulk of infringing content that your sites currently has available, you have been provided with many examples in this thread. Even content which you have been told about in this thread is still there.

If you look at other systems that small content producers have to sell their goods like Chrome store, iTunes, or whatever else is available, the fees they charge are enormous. CarrotPay is designed for SMALL transactions. We created a store to sell files of small value. What's nefarious about that?
|
Apple iTunes have proper legal agreements with content producers, distributors and rights holders to distribute content in accordance with such agreements with audited processes and reporting in place. In many cases they have exclusive or semi exclusive agreements.
Please name the rights holders who have signed up with FileShoppe. How many are there.

I'll be surprised if you know where our servers are hosted, much less anything of actual interest. Why are you so against requesting files to be taken offline? If this is your attitude towards file hosts THAT DO what you are saying, it's no wonder they are still operating, since they aren't getting any take down requests.
|
Without proper verification we can't know if a file is removed or simply the link is deleted. Going by the examples I gave above which remain it seems that taking content down is not something you do very reliably.
