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?

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.



Those who WANT to download it will notice I'm sure.



Again, how do we benefit from piracy? What sign up? FileShoppe doesn't HAVE a sign up process.



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.
do something about it then? Email paypal about his abuse of their AUP. maybe they'll cancel his account.
stop spamming here.
