Hotfile lost a lot of money when they lost access to that Paypal account. The MPAA case finally killed them but it was our project that resulted in them losing Paypal.
You are thinking of another file locker, it could be one of several which used 'phoenix' Paypal accounts.
Edit: If you read through the thread you will see where we foreshadowed that big news on Hotfile was coming prior to them losing the Paypal account. In any case it's all history now. We continue to be a thorn in the side of file lockers and people like you continue to post in a thread about an effort you say is having no effect. If it's having no effect, why bother posting ?

First of all that's just not true, I know as a fact Hotfile lost several Paypal accounts over the years. They might have eventually set up a lasting account and established a relationship with Paypal in the last few years, that I honestly don't know as I quit paying attention to the whole mess after I was no longer involved with sending out DMCA requests. But prior to that they lost several accounts and bounced around different payment processors.
Second don't fucking lump me in with anyone else, I never said what you were doing wasn't effective. I'm not following your efforts so I couldn't tell you either fucking way. I just took issue with you trying to take credit for something that you didn't have anything to do with. Paypal had nothing to do with Hotfile being shut down, they knew they were fucked if the case went to court so they cut their losses and settled with the MPAA on the eve of the court case.
I'm sorry, but the whole "you disagree with me, so you must be a pirate" bullshit just isn't gonna cut it here. Ask around a bit, I was involved with going after file lockers and file locker forums long before you started this venture. At one point back in '06-'07 when pornbb was the biggest file locker forum online I helped take down over 90% of all the links on that site, after Eric from Remove Your Content gave me a script he was using to strip out the content URL's. I finally threw my hands up in the air and gave up a few years ago, but I followed the Hotfile case closely as they were one of the first to pay uploaders to upload content and were a particular thorn in my side...
