Tips for uploaders and filehost

[Machar]

they do remove copyrighted content
but the process is slow since they receive thousands of dmca's on a daily basis
even after the advent of AK nothing much has changed
Paypal had their own policies towards filehosts so it made it easier for people like AK (Manwin's Pawn) to report sites to Paypal and get their accounts suspended
Manwin is getting nice sales from his tube sites
I heard he is also associated with the file locker business
the nature of filehost business is such that it can be abused by anyone but that does not mean they should shut down
AK just took the opportunity and started an AntiPiracy Company
he is earning a nice amount of money via donations from those fools who think that they will gain a lot once file lockers go out of business
but what those fools fail to understand is that tube sites offer content in much more easier manner
people prefer to watch online rather than downloading
you can find every kind of paysite video on tube sites

u r rite Machar why waste 1 hr to download and then watch most sales do come from western countries or countries where net speed r descent so they will prefer to watch stuufs online and save their time+ filehost premium cost and those prefer to download which are not well versed with internet and who to make google search or too lazy to search 2 minutes .

They'd lose safe harbors rights if they were actively searching users content like this. Wide open for lawsuits

I'm just trying to open a discussion about this, because if the industry don't adapt it will disappear.
If you guys have better ideas, I m eager to share and learn

After some research, Jesse is indeed right.(as edited in the first post)
Paradoxically, any pro active action taken by the file host, will make him loose the safe harbor rights.

Best practices then, should be implemented by uploaders.

Solution :

felix baumgartner should fix servers in the space and we will be happy without DMCA

I should hope I'm right about what I do for a living lol It'd look pretty damn bad otherwise haha

[Soom]

You r right Jesse.

But I beg your pardon to insist, we still need to implement better business practice if we want to stay in business in the long haul.

Running from a payment gateway to another, can't be the solution.

I still believe that file hosts, while not stating pro active policies in their ToS (to preserve safe harbor), should educate their uploaders .

What do you think ?

edit:

However, Jesse you don't seem to be concerned by this, because you don't sell premium account if I m right and live on cpm ?
Also your content may be less subject to copyright than others DMCA request.
You are in a good niche ... not everyone case

[Jesse]

I have never named any of my sites here. Very few people know any sites I own myself. I do sell accounts.

imgah is not really my site. It kinda is, but not really.

[Soom]

Sorry man I just visited the link of your signature.
It's great if you are selling account you may agree with me then ?

edit :

[Jesse]

I wouldn't say I agree. I'm not one to help people become better thieves.

Yes, I'm cocky. Extremely cocky at that.
