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.
The files is not available in any shape or form. We have absolutely no way of monetizing this. What exactly are we doing wrong?

You should return a clear message stating that the file has been removed.
The $1 promotional offer is not out of the goodness of your heart, it is to generate business via new users. At some point you would expect these users to pay for content, so you *are* benefiting from piracy in the case of someone signing up after following a pirate link.
You should display a plain message indicating that the file has gone, without offering a chance to sign up to your system that says Premium Mirrors above it, it gives the impression the file can be downloaded.
As for your othe points, you claim we have had no impact on your business so what we do does not concern you, so there's not much point you continuing your rants. You do what you do but don't be surprised that we hall do what we do.
