Liberty Media sues Hotfile.com
 

http://torrentfreak.com/hotfile-1000...awsuit-110118/

I believe this one is a very strong case. Unlike previous loosy attempts to pick on rapidshare, there's a good chance of actually winning this time (especially no registered DMCA agent is a strong arguement).

Sooner than later producers are going to start winning these cases. As the ball gets rolling more and more suits will be filed. Holding Paypal as a defendant is very smart in my opinion. They will do whatever they can to shed liability, and if you can cut the filesharers source of income, you're hitting them where it hurts. It's going to be a slow process, but I like to think that things are moving in the right direction for content producers...

Good to see this one.

Paypal will start looking very closely at who they do biz with, meaning stricter regulations coming down the pike which is fine by me. Cut off the means of collecting/distributing money and the piracy shit will die.

Coolio...

Hey Nautilus,

What???

How the fuck can Paypal be involved with hotfile when they are supposed to not allow porn. Such bullshit.

They should of looked closer a long time ago.

Hitting the money sources is the best way to curb piracy. Making processors and advertiser responsible for where they do business will cut piracy down to a minimum. What's the point of putting up a site and paying for it if it loses money?

Burn them alive.

I doubt it.

If that were the case, they would not have been accepting payments in regards to Rapidshare that has been going on the better part of a decade, despite Perfect 10 repeatedly suing them.

:2 cents:

You'd be surprised at the number of sites and hosts out there who do not have these on file.
Hint: Swift Communications (http://swiftco.net/) and Youjizz/Jizzhutt/Jizzonline/Jizzbo (Not JCI) Have a look here: http://www.copyright.gov/onlinesp/list/a_agents.html

so fuck the concept of innocent until proven guilty punish them BEFORE liberty media even proves their case

why can't a parent corporation act as the single agent for all it subsiduaries

this seems like the we don't have to care about fair use/dmca we are suing for unfair trade practices bullshit that got bitch slapped down by the court (something you also said had a really good chance of winning)

ummmmmmm lots of cases to be file......

they should have, but years ago they lacked the proper angles of attack, or i should say knowledge of those angles.
now companies have the smarts and hindsight needed to get the job done.

Apart from Hotfile.com there are lot more sites with similar service ..

They might also be in the same radar

This is not 10 years ago. This is not 1 year ago. This is now.

The fateful day is nearing when paypal will have to belly up to the bar for a strong shot of reality.

They are in the spotlight and this scrutiny will continue to grow as more and more cases emerge.

This is the next wave of attacks on piracy, and the surf is up:2 cents:

paypal is a money exchange making them responsible for the actions of a merchant is a fundamentally bad precedent to set
every singe one of you guys know that your porn is being used to make virtual kiddie porn
guys are taking legitimate porn with over 18 girls and photoshopping pictures of kids heads on those pictures.

should you be dragged off to jail because you didn't absolute control the actions of some of your customers.

:1orglaugh Step away from the pipe

i posted the lint to the story about the guy who got arrested for using miley cyrus face on legitimate porn and how he got arrested for creating "virtual" kiddie porn.

simply put that could never had been done if the original porn had been produced.

why not hold every one of you guys to the same legal liability that your claiming paypals should be held too.
