 1) Double standard - If a link shortening website is bad because they accept traffic from sites which promote piracy then any affiliate program which accepts traffic from any site that promotes piracy is also bad. You cannot rationalize it. It's the same. 2) The take down of a website which does its part to remove content and prevent it from coming back up. Any website with user submitted content is definitely open to be abused. That being said, if they are taking legitimate measures to fight piracy by employing some of the things I've mentioned earlier then they're doing their part. 3) I do believe that the one truly good thing that has come out of what it is your doing is the removal of child pornography. In that respect I would love to help you. I don't know if you have a way of alerting the local police and other agencies for child exploitation based on the location of the file host but that is a cause I would love to be involved in. 4) You come off as an adult business superhero. Well, maybe that is what people are labeling you as. The reality is that I honestly don't believe anything you've done has had an impact on our business at all. If you're out to help multi billion dollar companies earn more revenue then great. I doubt they've noticed an increase in sales since you've been doing this. 5) I would suggest you start targeting news group services. They're loaded with all kinds of porn, software, hollywood movies, tv shows, etc. they're cheaper than file lockers. $10/mo gets you unlimited downloads. That is my  | ||||

				 | Personally, I just think it's ridiculous.  Mostly because one tube = every file locker in the world.  This site, and most likely AdultKing himself, makes money either directly off of tubes or sends traffic to programs that own or advertise on tubes.  He's squashing ants and looking around at everyone to see if they're clapping while he stays carefully and completely silent about sites far, far worse in their effect on paysite owners. It's also irritating because this dude has been heroing for 40 something pages while every overly loquacious nobody in the biz gloms onto this 'project' and pretends they're actually noticeable somebodies doing something to 'save the industry'. Same shit, different day. Heard it about newsgroups, TGPs, MGPs, then tubes, and it's the same cast of people studiously trying to pretend to be learned philosophers and saviors of 'the industry'. Not the EXACT same people, most of those particular guys are waiting tables or working at the auto parts shop now, but the same type of people. Do you know who's still around and still making big money from those days? The people who owned the tubes. It's not so much the campaign itself, it's the sheer small mindedness of it and how obviously it's not and will never be more than a PR campaign for AdultKing. A never-ending, sanctimonious, holier than thou method of staying on the front page come hell or high water. Markham and assorted others also mistakenly think they can get something from it, or at least be GFY fabulous for a while, or maybe they really do think filelockers are the reason they're barely scraping by lol.... You'd think GFY mgmt would be tired of seeing it by now. Normally I don't say much about what goes on here anymore, it's irrelevant, but irritation is a good motivation to post I guess... |

 We have only reported link shortening sites that we have come across directly related to file locker activities as a result of our investigations of file lockers, the same goes to image hosts. If you have any examples of legitimate link shortening sites or image hosts that have been targeted then please let us know. As for who we are authorised to act for and in what capacity we make reports, this is an operational matter and we do not discuss operational matters in public. Quote:

 As I have stated, You cannot use this excuse. If you were simply limiting yourself to file lockers then link shorteners wouldn't be losing their paypal accounts. You are simply picking and choosing which sites (not limited to file lockers) that you are going after. Don't try to dispute it. We've seen it. It's just unfortunate that the sites you're picking and choosing will have 0 impact on this industry. | ||||||

				 | I think he is just waiting to hit it big by getting some big mainstream companies behind him.  However, he branded the site wrong. Stop File Lockers is too specific. He should have gone with a more generic anti piracy name. |

 Take a specific niche like SE Asian porn, search the biggest tubes and you'll find sponsor uploaded videos, a few amateur clips and no more than a handful pirated videos. Now go on porn forums you'll find EVERY single video from EVERY site you can think of. Tubes have a lot of generic traffic, the real collectors, the buyers, are downloading from File Lockers. | |

   No clue whatsoever. Tubes are very manageable, and these days most tube site owners are working with producers. It's not a perfect world, but managing tubes is very easy. Managing porn boards and file lockers is a nightmare, especially if they try to hide the link by using symbols instead of letters. | |

				 | I find it amusing that people who feel like we're pissing into the wind, or who don't really care what happens to file lockers or who think file lockers aren't a problem are so motivated as to post into this thread. That's a rhetorical question for anyone thinking about continuing this ridiculous debate. File Lockers are without a doubt a major piracy problem and the Google transparency reports confirm as much. In the past few months 1039 rights holders have made takedown requests for almost 1 million URLs on Filestube indexed by Google. The scale of the problem with file lockers is huge and it's been largely unmitigated until this year. We don't profess to have a perfect solution but we are doing our best to mitigate it. One really must question the motives of the naysayers. |

 That being said, you shouldn't respond to their reactions with hostility or in a dismissive manner. If their issues are legitimate to them then they're legitimate issues. Calling names (upload monkey) questioning their motives etc. is begging to have your operation come under the same scrutinity- presumptions, childishness and so on. I mean, if you're leading a campaign which doesn't provide verifiable pecuniary advantages to your supporters, they're going to wonder what you're actually doing. | |
