AdultKing, you really a showing how foolish you are. You cannot download anything from those links you provided. If you can't be bothered to do a simple 1 minute check, that's not really my fault or my problem. The pages are generated on the fly. If downloads are not possible, you simply will NOT see the 'Download' buttons.
Seriously, I would encourage anyone who believes AdultKing to simply check! I have even offered AdultKing a cash reward if he can find any real number of copyright infringing links.
We have already taken down what we can obviously see is copyright infringing. But as I said, if people cannot even be bothered to let us know of an abusive client, then that's really not our problem.

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
|
No where do we offer signups. And unless a file is downloadable, there is NOTHING to buy. If you know so much about us, how can you not know the most basic things about us. The ONLY way we can make money is through sales of individual files. We do not sell memberships, we do not sell credit. How can we monetize it?
And I repeat, THE FILES WERE REMOVED LONG AGO. Just check!

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.
|
I don't know who copy control are, but if they are a responsible and proper authority, then I'm sure we can grant them full read access. Just not you :-). You've already proved you're not a reasonable person by continuing to post inactive links claiming they are active.

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.
|
You can say this as many times as you like. It doesn't make it true.
The files are not accessible.

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.
|
Yet more evidence of you knowing very little about our system.
The pages are generated on the fly. We do not rely on a database back end and therefore it is not a simple matter of deleting a record from the database. There are an infinite number of download pages now if you can work out the encoding mechanism we use to generate URLs. But this does not mean that file exists or has ever existed on our servers. Our system was built like this so we do not have a single point of failure and so that our files can be distributed throughout our CDN with having to deal with some silly file management system.

FileShoppe had this to say on another forum about Paypal on 2nd September.
|
Yes, a Paypal account unrelated to FileShoppe was suspended. Paypal unsuspended it on September 3rd.
!
According to the folks at WJ, most likely you (or whoever else at SFL) had something to do with it. But that's just forum gossip.

talked to Paypal tonight on the phone about a recent transaction on my account and like always they were super nice, solved my problem, and spoke English. I love Paypal and I'm glad they're taking down these people that are using their accounts for copyright infringement. I see lots of people talk shit about Paypal but I've had less problems with them then with my own damn bank account.

I agree. They were nice! They did resolve the problem quickly (24 hours). They did speak English, despite having an HK based Paypal account. And indeed they are doing the right thing by terminating the Paypal accounts of users who engage in Copyright Infringement. But many people talk s*** about Paypal because their fees are high, they provide virtually no seller protection, and they make all kinds of mistakes on a regular basis without having any sort of compensation. The stamp on merchants because they can. So as a consumer, Paypal is great! As a merchant, not so great, particularly if you are involved in selling services.
And I repeat, FileShoppe never used Paypal, and actually it doesn't fit our business model.
