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...
Dude, you have crakrevenue in your sig. Case closed.
