In the last 6-12 months, I've noticed that a crazy amount of links have been uploaded by spammers. We're talking millions of Copyrighted links, often without any kind of explanation concerning the content. Nothing whatsoever. Like these clowns:

There must be over 100,000 Wupload links in this post alone but who's going to download any of them with the title 'So Nice'??!!! What's seriously the purpose of this?!

Yet, I've noticed that these links are being aggregated by FilesTube in a ridiculous amount. Most of the content appears to be leeched, old and really rather random - are these spammers making money from this?! Look at these random releases (with no explanation on sharew - site where it's scraped from in FilesTube):

Adele - 21 (over 100,000 Search Results - most of the links posted by the spammers on sharew.org to Filesonic, Wupload).

Matt Duke One Day Die 2011 (14,000 + Search Results all pointing to links on Filesonic, Wupload)

Manchester Orchestra Simple Math 2011 (21,000 Search Results all pointing to links on Filesonic, Wupload)

http://www.filestube.com/search.html...011&select=All

This seems totally moronic to me and a massive waste of bandwidth. Which raises the separate question, how is it possible to upload hundreds of terabytes a day even with bots? The BANDWIDTH must be totally RIDICULOUS!!! Or stolen? And surely Filesonic, Wupload should know about this?

Thus, is the plan to steal a load of content off other uploaders? Post the links like crazy even if the forum is completely inappropriate and hope it gets aggregated?! Is there really any money in this approach??!!
