Year and a half ago pirates used large boards to sell pirated content through file lockers. Today pirates used large boards to sell pirated content through file lockers.
It?s business as usual on all large boards.
Unfortunately I haven?t seen any effect on large boards. I assume that?s a good reason donations are not coming in. Content providers and webmasters are more worried about the big boards than a small 1000 member board. Hurting a 30,000+ member board and cutting off all their funds would have seen donations through the roof IMO. But after a year and half, I don?t see any difference.
Sorry if that sounds bad, but that?s the way I see things and I?m sure a lot of others do too. I appreciate AK?s efforts, but it?s not making a difference.

I think you are a bit off in your thinking.
The big boards link to a number of filelockers. He was going after them and I know that for a fact. rapidgator (all over pornbb, dig420's forum, many, many others) was one of the biggest and he put a thorn in their side.
See, if he kills the filelocker, then the boards link to a dead link. Surfer can't download the video, wants it, it is possible they would then be forced to go to the site.
He was trying to kill the host first. If the host is dead, it actually is free marketing. Not saying it is great marketing because sure enough, another link to another host, will popup.
But if some of these filelocker owners started seeing jail time, banned from Visa permanently, it would def. help. That would take an enormous team and a lot of funding.
It's not really the sites that matter... they are not associated with Visa or banks directly.
