The PayPal Method of Combating File Hosts!

[MiSiON]

Filehost Need To B Use Bank Transfer Now.

[THEAST]

Well they have the right to do that, it is in their ToS, and your activity was questionable.

No they didn't because his only activity was to receive money from Netload and if Netload's activities are questionable, they shouldn't have approved Netload's paypal account in the first place.

@axl, did you receive a big payment or sth? Can you keep us updated on this matter? This is really getting out of hand.

Can everyone post filehosts (They know of) that recently/currently have fallen prey to this PayPal hitch.v

To be the first one to respond to your question. Here are a few off the top of my head.

Filehost Need To B Use Bank Transfer Now.

yea exactly, absolutely right. So when some big ass music label like universal send filehosts a court notice to give information about the user who uploaded a particular file then filehost can give your name along with bank account details to them. Superbly best way to get caught for file copyright infringement

What you think about OKPAY , are they can replace Paypal .. where(country) OKPAY is usable , I think with their prepaid card they can use from everyone

USE webmoney/liberty reserve...

promote them, by giving 1 month extra free account if you buy from webmoney/LR, i am sure user will like it.

And yes it is difficult to move from paypal, but slowly they understood the situation and move...


because uploader upload illegal files, downloader downloading illegal files ==>> now a small banner will make downloader to use webmoney/Liberty reserve

"Downloader who buy filehost accounts are logged by PAYPAL and may use it against you so prefer webmoney"

atleast downloader think about webmoney, few may prefer webmoney because we can easily add fund to webmoney using master/visa credit card

You need to read their ToS, everyone that get's a PP account has to agree to it. That alone gives them the right to suspend or terminate your account at their discretion for any reason they deem appropriate.

Netload is not doing anything illegal in operating their business, but those of you that upload copyright protected files that you do not own the rights to is. It is probably also a violation of Netloads ToS, whether they enforce it or not is not the issue.

What good is an alternate method to pay you if the host ends up on all CC and financial services providers blacklist and they can not receive money.

@humour Yeah right .....1000 people upload same copyrighted material ....from 40 differnt countrys ...be sure that everyone will go in court.I dont give a sh%t about this.
Anyway what is the real reason that Paypal blocked filehosts accounts?And only filehosts that have affiliate program?
US dont like other people to make money!
Why they not close megashares, mediafire, rapidshare and a lot other hosts that dont have affiliate programs?
In rapidhare for example are a lot more illegal stuffs then in any other filehost!!

US hate to see that other people try to make money !!


Paypal is verry popular payment processor in online bussiness and is US company.
Also VISA and Masterard are US companies, i see it as next target for combating Filehosts with affiliate program!

[torrfriend]

cancel is right, USA don't want others to make money

so one simple solution is "Boycott paypal" use/promote webmoney/Liberty reserve all're safe

With paypal FIlehost is not safe and users are logged (Users who pay through paypal is also not safe)

Paypal having proof that an uploader is uploading copyrighted material is one thing (not sure since when they have become part of MPAA/RIAA/etc), limiting people's accounts because they wanted to is another. They can limit people's accounts because of the latter because it is in their TOS but the former is impossible because they can't possibly have proof for such thing.
