Indeed, asking money will just get you into trouble. Especially if the member gains access to MORE illegal content.

Altough I understand ads alone don't generate enough income to pay off the server bills, I still strongly suggest every warez-site owner to keep away from paying uploaders, adding uploader-status, asking money to get access to certain content.
Some, if not all, of the above mentioned "nono's" were/are done by platinumw

not to mention it's hosted in the US.
