Both are infringing file lockers, both have lost Paypal and various other payment methods. Both are still being targeted by us.

Is rapidgators.net closed from signups? It's hard for me to tell.

Refer my previous statement about Rapidgator.

Do you think it might be easier to go after the forums which faciliate the links to the filelockers? Without the links they won't get the traffic and they (filelockers) will be forced to promote their own sites which will open them up to vulnerability.

We're pursuing every part of the eco system.

Hosting the content is the illegal part, that's why some of these forums get away with it. The file lockers just get away with it because of the DMCA loophole. I bet half of file lockers are bootstrapped by the owners uploading everything they've ever downloaded and then getting it off the ground with affiliates.
Hard to tell without detailed logs, and who's going to do that without fear of incriminating themselves? |
You're not safe just by having links to infringing content, anyone who thinks they are would be very wrong.
As stated above, we're going after every portion of the eco system.
