DWB, totally agree, as I said, the Hong Kong fact is the biggest thing here, the freezing of assets in the US for 1-2 week is likely going to not change much.

Regarding your post about how RK owns Slutload and what not...

1) I have not yet seen a press release about RK and Manwin completing a merger, have you?

2) I have not yet seen a press release stating what assets will be merged either, have you?

3) All I have seen is an article that did not come from us which states a filing in Austria which has to take place prior to any such acquisition or merger happening. PRIOR is the keyword here...

So no, you are completely wrong that Manwin is in the middle of some scandalous shit... first of all PV's lawsuit against Slutload is far from Scandalous, its just the same thing they've been doing for the past 2 or so years... nothing new. second, we have not, and will not be buying Slutload. We are not interested in the site, its not good enough in our opinion.

Yea, my guess is all his cash is sitting in HK. I wouldn't be keeping it in the USA, that is for sure.


I stand corrected. The release was to announce the merger notification, not the completion of a merger.

I guess I'll let you slide on this one. :winkwink:

Thank you DWB ;)

Regarding HK... problem is its only up to 3 million.. FF Magnet I am sure has more than that.. A site like Oron likely makes around 500k-1m a month in profits, at least it has for the longest time... depends on how much they take out of the company each month I guess... So we'll see... it is at least relatively likely that FF Magnet still has enough cash available to pay their hosting and affiliate program for the next couple of weeks if not months...

I hope their lawyer sucks ass, or that I can convince certain people that losing the power cable to their racks is a good idea...

Only speaking for myself, but if I was making 500k a month and doing so with that sort of a high risk business model, I would have various bank accounts under various companies, under varies nominee names, in several counties. Cyprus, Lichtenstein, Hong Kong, or where ever. I'd also have a lot of easy to sell tangible assets in the event my cash was frozen.

So you may be right, he may have plenty more sitting elsewhere. If he has 1/2 a brain, he would.

Let's hope he only has 1/4th of a brain then ;)

hey , im a little out of the loop. Side topic:

what happened to the mega upload guy? I see the site is still down :D but is he in jail, bail, free?

What is Manwin doing that compares with what Corbin Fisher and Zero Tolerance are doing to fight piracy?

Yep but pornbb.org and other sites they run are down.

Let's not forget that the 3rd party processors in this are also ordered to hold funds to them...we are talking alot more than the $3 mil in HK they won't have available:thumbsup

This has so many benefits for those taking action, the cost might even be well worth it.

1. As you say it clearly shows these people doing the uploading they're not going to get left alone.

2. It also puts file servers on not notice not to fuck with the plaintiffs. Forget a court deciding yes or no. They don't want this problem down the line. They will do their utmost to avoid it. This might even provide a loop hole in their DMCA protection. So these companies will get their content less pirated on these sites and others.

3. It also deprives many of an income for a few weeks or months. Uploading and spamming it around piracy forums is their job. They have bills to pay.

4. Processors are dragged in. Do they want to be fighting these fights over and over or just drop these guys?

5. It clearly shows the weak points. The money flow.

6. PR. It's telling the customers and affiliates of these companies we will fuck with those that fuck with us.

7. So much nicer than bending over to these ass rapers and just blurting out excuses or saying nothing when asked a direct question.

And the fleas have moved to RapidGator.

Let's not forget who threw the first punch (some time ago) without ANY lawyers and without ANY big studio money. We did via PP.

We'll nominate you for a GFY or XBIZ award for your shining achievements chief.

:2 cents:

:1orglaugh Thanks.. but we don't run any stolen content tube sites or buy drinks at shows, thus, already disqualified.

http://www.baja-opcionez.com/ is down

working here

http://bitshare.com/premium.html

working here too, but none of the paypal links work?

only the "handy pay" link for me, which is once again provided by micropayment.de

:1orglaugh :thumbsup

Yes paypal links do not work. Wow.

The gays have the biggest balls:thumbsup

Freakshare also seems to have been affected - no paypal, only the paymentwall button:

http://freakshare.com/shop.html

Looks like paypal is freaking out after Oron and gay company Corbin Fisher got them some cool publicity.

sometimes I wish I was gay :thumbsup

Hopefully, they get fucked in the ass

Great news. Oron links are all over many leech forums. Still a few other leech services alive and kicking though.

fetishpornbb IS DOWN!

There are currently close to 3.7 million publicly available oron links just on forumo'pedo'philia alone. I used the term publicly because of their invite only section as well. :2 cents:

just wondering, as im sure you have an idea, how big is their invite only section?

Their private posting area may attribute to less than 5% of the overall posts.

ok thank you.

What's in the private area? CP or just stuff they don't want to get a DMCA on?

Eric, Considering you called the side forumo'pedo'philia; do you have proof of such content being hosted there? Would make a few things I am doing a lot easier..

Also, can you confirm their hosting provider? I think it's root SA like girl scanner but am not 100% sure.

Being hosted/being distributed I guess

Oron is up and billing with Visa here, I am confused now lol :) Whats going on?

dwb, forumophilia works here... does girlscanner.com work for you?

btw, cloudflare is not their host, cloudflare just provides automated CDN.

girlscanner does not load for me.

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

forumophilia was giving me that error for about 10 minutes at the time I read you post, but it's back up now.


Yes, I know. Just was posting what came up when I was going to their site.

I wouldn't have proof anywhere.. the DOJ would though I am sure. The site has LS and other similar content on it though.

last known hosting is Root without civil subpoena not quite sure.

:thumbsup exactly

root SA is taking both sites offline, that I know, maybe forumophilia moved already though.
