The stopfilelockers campaign has been in progress for over 280 days as of now. Several hosts have been killed off, virtually none have the option of PayPal (a critical merchant account to have).
One important thing to note is many of the first comments made about specific file lockers are made by the owners themselves, let?s observe:
The following two comments are implicit proof of these two men being involved with lumfile, keep in mind, lost hosting in Canada due to prevalence of illegal content stored on the servers.
If he?s having no effect, why are there so many comments? Comments have died because many who were noisy and unorganized have had to leave the upload world.
This is just implicit proof that the owners of these sites watch Mr. King and his blog updates like a hawk, they know he has a proven track record.
Many of the scrapy uploaders have gone extinct, what are left are individuals that treat copyright theft like a business, those that upload hundreds of Gigabytes everyday and in a structured and organized fashion (siterips and thread topics focused on one niche or site).
People still complain of tubes. The other week I had 10 videos of mine that were up on xhamster, I forwarded proper documentation and within 12 hours all videos had been deleted.
Tubes are now mostly compliant, the much bigger problem is all the content being tossed up and around on all forums with methods that help circumvent direct legal action. Forums and blogs claim no direct hosting and only index links, file lockers claim they can not directly know the content. As a result there is a runaway effort to produce as much incentive to potential file locker premium members. Millions of dollars in intellectual property discounted to one premium month?s purchase.
DMCA takedown is a waste of time almost in some instances, people log back into their file locker accounts and simply reset the links.
Other?s claim to simply out market pirates, but as we recently saw a few posts ago, many DVDs and site updates are indexed on the popular pirate blogs within hours of release.
Many of you on here disapprove strongly of theft online and what it has done to your bottomline, I strongly implore you to donate to someone who has dedicated an exorbitant amount of time to this effort along with a handful of volunteers.
Some of you that have only a handful of posts, and are all business, have noted how effective this campaign has been.
I?ve mustered a measly $200 contribution, some of you much more.
Mainstream may find a way to protect itself but who is going to care about porn? Mr. King is something of an anomaly in what he has done, and done so well.
Please make a contribution and help fund progress that is still well underway.
