The free blog service that my company runs is not in competition to yours because firstly you need an invitation code to join, secondly you need to be a real adult pay-site affiliate and you can only post adult affiliate content with links to adult pay-sites using approved affiliate content.
Now contrast this to YOUR operation where I just snapped these screenshots.
Not only do you host blogs linking to illegal file lockers and illegal streaming services offering full length videos stolen from content producers, but you don't do anything to mitigate it.
One of these sites has been up stealing and sharing stolen content on your blog service since March 2014.
The above site links to file lockers such as Datafile which is one of the worst headaches for rights holders at the moment. All over the Christmas / New Year period I have been getting dozens of emails from our members complaining about how bad Datafile is and you are helping one of their upload monkeys steal from this industry.
Then there is the above site, been on your service since at least March 2014, almost a year. Sharing stolen full length movies from dozens of leading adult content producers.
What's worse the above site is monetised by Exoclick - not an affiliate link in sight. It's all stolen, it's all theft and you host it.
There are dozens of more examples I could post where you allow your service to be completely abused while you profit from the advertising revenue gained from hosting pirates.

And then you proceed to claim that that a large portion of a company's publishers are pirates - do you care to prove this? I realize that you have to define what a large portion is - but it's got to be something like... more than 20% right? Can we agree on that?

Plugrush accounts for 2.2% of advertising on all piracy sites.
Plugrush currently has 10,355 referring domains across it's publishing inventory. Our data shows that 3,291 sites comprise the following categories of sites:
1. Copyright infringing tubes.
2. Forums sharing file locker links
3. Blogs sharing file locker links
4. Free Blog Services that do not deal with copyright infringement
5. File Locker Link Dump Sites
6. File Sharing enabling image host sites.
7. Torrent trackers.
8. Uncategorised.
That's roughly 30% of their referring domains.
These sites include sites like this one that I chose completely randomly
xmovieshare.com
A site full of porn torrents and file locker download links. Monetised using Plugrush.
As I have said before and I'll say it again, Plugrush have an amazing platform, it's innovative, novel and is well thought out, it's clever. I have nothing but respect for the platform they built, I just wish they would weed out the piracy based publishers - there are far too many of them.
Markul, my offer still stands to provide you with technology to weed out piracy from your network - you obviously need to do something if you have piracy sites on your blog service that have been there undetected by you for a year.
