Unless all of this controversy is contrived to keep the thread alive, this is where I think some are having a disconnect.
The lack of transparency prevents others from understanding what you're doing and prevents them from doing it themselves- that is, you're protecting your method as a trade secret (which if it is, that's your business) however, if what you do is a matter of legal procedure, it would seem logical to inform rights holders of their options.
Again, they are free to inform themselves of their own rights, but nevermind that, as it doesn't seem like your "trolls" are interested in anything but pointing out to you that despite your efforts, piracy remains.
It wouldn't seem, if your tactics are a function of legal recourse, that it wouldn't matter who knows them, including file locker owners, as they are breaking the law, and would in fact make them even more culpable and inable to claim ignorance of the law.
A criminal knows when he breaks the law and makes himself subject to penalties.
The tactics of law enforcement to catch criminals does not change the fact that a law has been broken.

As much good as you're trying to do, don't forget, no one asked you to do this. So, just from a PR perspective, if you are in business, make it a business. You should probably get rid of this thread if your actions aren't up for discussion and scrutiny. It's not like Coca Cola has to tell people they need their money to create beverages to quench their thirst. Stop Justifying Stopping File Lockers. Unless there's some reason you feel you need to.

From a sales perspective, this statement, again, causes a disconnect, unless you are forthcoming with who you represent and what representation entails.
If you're selling a product, make known the features of the product. It can't be a secret, can it?
Basically, for me, your sales pitch needs work.
Interesting product, but this thread is just bad for your image and is unprofessional.
I agree with your business model, but they're going to keep picking it apart with facts if you keep it up.
