Back in the cowboy, wild west days of this industry many of us did things we are not proud of today, using dodgy domains to lure people to over 18 teen sites was one often used, so was the use of keywords we'd never use today.
Even as recently as a few years ago I canned some domains, registered by a freelance SEO guy in our name for SEO purposes, that ran YouTube scraper sites that were highly inappropriate. As a result we dropped these domains and I sacked the freelancer.
The difference here is my companies and myself have never been associated with hosting illegal content, nor pirated content. Have we made mistakes? Sure we have, but we learned from them and cleaned up.
On the other hand the pirates haven't learned anything, on sites like LumFile, which was banned from WJunction for really hosting CP, the amount of real illegal material is astonishing.
Even on UltraMegaBit there is plenty of illegal and copyright infringing content and this had been admitted to by Rudy Corella.
Personally I don't care if people claim I am Jack the Ripper, this project will not be stopped under any circumstances. The project's aims were to clean out the infringing and illegal file locker industry and that's what we are going to do.
If I have made errors of judgement about Verotel affiliate banner ads or inappropriate domains, fine I'll wear that, but we have never hosted illegal content ever.
I am near the end of the process of entirely pulling out of adult and many other areas of business as Copyright and IP Enforcement is all I want to do. So if I own or host some legal tubes, or if I have owned inappropriate domain names, or if I've made any other errors of judgement I'll just have to wear that.
At the end of the day, the pirate community who have massive amounts of money to lose will throw as much mud as they can make stick. This is self serving, the only reason so much effort is being placed by these people is that we are being effective, devastatingly effective.
The file locker industry looks nothing like it did a year ago, in another year it will look nothing like it does now. We are bringing an end to the infringement and illegal content hosted by these sites and we are killing the business model of incentivised file sharing.
I remain committed as ever to kill of illegal file lockers, people may make their own minds up about whether to support that or not. Our goal is clear, well defined and we won't back down until the job is done.

Robert, Robert, Robert.. tsk tsk.
You really like to bend words. I never said UMB was full of pirate content. I admited that at times our services are abused, as we are a public service, and the majority of public services are always abused. We react to abuse when notified. Please get that straight.
It is nice to know, now that all this info which has come out, you are finally telling the truth to your fellow webmasters. I'm glad you admitted to owning tube sites, and that is why you do not go after tubesites, because you take money from tubesite owners, and you own a few of them yourself. I'm also glad that you admitted to owning those CP Domains. Was pretty hard to lie your way out of that one wasn't it?
Now for the interesting part. You are getting out of the adult industry, because you only want to work in IP enforcement. As a business. Not just a side non-profit project to help your fellow webmaster out, but as a means to make money. That is indeed what you are saying correct? You've seen there is good money in it, and that is what you are going to pursue, as you can't make money off of 16 year old girls out of holland anymore right? So, if you're doing this as a business now, and to make money, why do you ask for donations? And can you still call them donations? As you're aiming to profit from this business. (Which I said from the first day you started asking for donations)
We are not throwing sticks, or throwing mud in your reputation, we are only bringing to light the facts. That's all we ever wanted to do. Was to prove that you were only in this for the money. We in no way bend them, well, I haven't at least. You just when you are faced with the facts in your face and can't deflect them, make sure to tell everyone that the only reason we're posting this info about you, is because we are afraid of what you are doing, and we're really bothered, and you're affecting our business because you want kill all filelockers, even lockers who are 100% compliant. I can care less if you spend all day sending e-mails out, or you're taking out filelockers out of india who use paypal as their only processing option. The only thing I care about is when you post all these 100% fictitious articles about the company Ultra Mega Corp. I just feel I need to make a response, because you are trying to drive more donations, by using our company as an advertising method, stating that you are injuring our company somehow, when in fact you are not.
The file locker industry looks pretty much exactly the same now as it did last year, only now people have stopped using the nazi of a processor paypal, and have moved on to others.
So thanks for finally coming clean. My job's done. I won't bother you anymore. Carry on with your emails.
It's a dog's breakfast! G'day mate!
