What I see is a file name, file size, Price then a banner beneath the heading "Premium Mirrors" which says Try Premium for Free, which then opens up a Carrot Pay wallet pop up window.
|
The file name size and price are all encoded directly into the URL.
The 'Try Premium for Free' is a promotional offer where we GIVE away US$1 to spend on our site. It is not a chancel to pay for anything. I'm sorry you do not see this.

So you certainly give the impression the file is there and provide the opportunity to sign up. This brings you benefit fom the infringing link to infringing content.
|
There is no download button. And we do not have a signup process for downloaders. So where is the benefit? We don't sell anything on the page. The promotional $1 is a free GIFT we give away, not some sneaky way of getting their money. And even if they completed a Top-Up at Carrot, FileShoppe would not benefit at all from that.

You can paint this however you like, there is NO CLEAR INDICATION the file does not exist!
|
The files is not available in any shape or form. We have absolutely no way of monetizing this. What exactly are we doing wrong?
Oh check out what I found on the
StopFileLockers Website. You did not tell me you were into Child Porn? Look, a page offering child porn. You show the price and file size! OH DEAR OH DEAR.

As stated above we can't tell when you offer file name, file size and price.
|
Those who WANT to download it will notice I'm sure.

You're entirely missing th point, if you're offering people the chance to sign up from the file page rather than simply displaying a message saying the file does not exist then you are benefiting from piracy. The file was there, people link to it on pricy sites and you get sign ups as a result.
|
Again, how do we benefit from piracy? What sign up? FileShoppe doesn't HAVE a sign up process.

With no database back end you're going to have a lot of trouble handling infringements aren't you ? How do you prevent repeat I infringement ? How do you track anything with no database back end ?
|
We have a database that allows us to track downloads. But the database is not integral to the system. If our database goes down, we continue to function. We have a highly redundant and scalable system.
We can disable user accounts to prevent uploads via FTP. We can trace files back to specific users and remove them.
