User from GFY tries to take down file hosts. Not with a DMCA, but...

Hello Mr. Dumbass,

I never signed a contract with PayPal, but I did agree to their TOS, which is totally different matter. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING.

Sorry I thought you had a big account there. So you will take PP to court for not doing business with you, because you never followed their TOS.

You two guys can stay on the sinking ship while I watch from shore laughing, for failing to adapt to the times with the rest of the Adult Entertainment industry.

AK's efforts are useless and PayPal is just going to be in the same boat as you guys.

You mean the sinking ship Corbin Fisher are on, now they can start sending out 1,000s of letter to pirates demanding they pay up.

AK has you guys rattled and it's obvious by the posts and file lockers losing Paypal accounts.

As for Paypal on a sinking ship. You should do stand up comedy. Still do try to sue Paypal before then.

FTR, none of the 'real' filehosts have had any issues thus far. The only ones you've shut down, and done us all a favor, is ones run by kids who buy a script, install it on a server, and start accepting money in their personal/premier paypal accounts.

What Corbin Fisher has done is set a new path to monetising piracy.

Sue the file locker with the pirated material on, freeze their bank accounts, negotiate a settlement which include all the details of the uploaders and possibly downloaders, trace their addresses and let the letters go out.

No longer is the defense, it's just the IP address. Its the IP plus a whole lot more to identify the culprit.

Lifetalk, so far this is one guy working on his own. Already he's knocking off the low hanging fruit. He will move up. Our weak links are clear. CP, is an obvious one and anyone with anything that looks remotely like it is in trouble. Then there are a few other porn subjects that will get a red flag from processors.

Now Corbin Fisher has upped the game and Oron has sold the uploaders down the river. First and not last time is my prediction.

in short he is planning to send letters to 80% of internet users ? Are these guys that much free ? I mean thr are millions of downloaders, to how many users are you going to investigate & send letters ?

[Lifetalk]

Yeah, if only it were as straightforward as 2 lines of text on an Internet forum. Good luck replicating what Corbin did to Oron, with every file locker. I, for one, would love to see how many more of the big names they can bring down using the same strategy.

My estimate would be, hmmm, zero.

EDIT: He says he's got a team. You say he's working on his own. Either of you need to get your facts right.

I like how you're sucking Corbin Fisher's dick (lol) What Corbin Fisher really is doing is trying to save a dying and failing business model.

He has to sue to save himself. It's sad really.

Plus, It's probably not the smartest idea to mail them.

A fact --- An IP address is not a person .....

You think there are that many to get money from is a problem.

I doubt is 80% of Internet traffic are all involved in piracy. We are of course talking about people in the First World, no point is suing those in the Third World. You guys do know this has already happened. The music industry did it and the porn industry still does it. Cash Cow.

As for numbers, it must of skipped you but there are lots of unemployed people to employ for this work. Someone on $1500 a month can find 100s of people a month. Sending letters is automated, say demanding $5,000 on each. Those who refuse get their asses dragged into court to watch their funds frozen. Won't work with all, 2 a month will cover the cost amply.

Corbin Fisher is one porn company. There are many more. Pirates are now playing Russian Roulette hoping the next file locker to give over their identity won't be the one they used. Doesn't need to be all of them, if you don't know who will be next. What are you going to do?

you guys need to get out of your Mums basement and see what it's like in the real world. The numbers are in the favor of those suing.

I bet 80% of internet user in any world you talk about have once downloaded some warez stuff. Many of those people dont even know what is warez & weather it is illegal or not.

[Lifetalk]

I'll stick to what I said - this isn't the first time I've heard this exact same argument on an Internet forum. I've seen it multiple times. It happened with Hotfile; nothing came out of it. I'll say it again, in the simplest possible way I can imagine - good luck doing what you say you'll do. Good luck getting anything out of anyone, except maybe a tiny minority. That, too, is a huge maybe.
