Our expenses are high and our shortfall in our budget is huge. To date I have personally made the largest contribution to Stop File Lockers, the sum of $52,439 AUD. This exceeds the total amount raised from contributors by tens of thousands.
Just to put things in perspective, our rights holder representation agreement cost us thousands to have drawn up by our lawyers, just last Wednesday we spent $400 on each of two letters.
Doing this stuff properly is expensive and NOBODY is being paid for their time and effort. Everyone working in our collaboration system does so voluntarily, including myself.
So yes we took Manwin's contribution, if we hadn't we would have had to stop operating a month ago.
Moogie has grasped this fact and run with it because it's all he's got, he needs to deflect the fact that like so many others he's a fence for thieves.

So, exaclty how much did manwin contribute?
And why have you not had one single post about them at copycontrol? We are a fairly small site, with a few infractions which are corrected as soon as they're spotted. Yet manwin has 1000's of infractions, but you have failed to even so much give them a mention in your tweets, or your website?
