I wouldn't say I agree. I'm not one to help people become better thieves.
Yes, I'm cocky. Extremely cocky at that.Jesse Reviewed by Jesse on . Tips for uploaders and filehost Dear fellow member, I just wanted for my first post share some thought about the way to make the file hosting business survive : Uploaders : Stop being dumb and lazy, and start to adapt to the guys who want to put your business down - Don't put direct links to file host with illegal contents, you make dmca request only easier: Solution : use link protection like protectup.com or any other Rating: 5

You also have to remember there are people like me whose job is to protect the intellectual property rights of artists. I work with the label, we are a fairly big, independent underground label, and we help put food on artists tables and provide exposure to them so they can continue spend all their time being creative and writing music, rather than them having to get some terrible dead end job which sucks the creativity from them. So these guys are my friends and I prefer they get the money for the music they write rather than some random, anon uploader who has made no contribution to the creative process and subsequent publishing.
So what do I do? I search for the music as if I wanted to download it, collect up all the links for the day and then send out emails to all the file hosts. So no matter what tricks you try to use, changing file name, password, link protectors etc. None of works, if it can be found on the internet, I can get the link and shut it down. But keep up the good work guys, you are keeping me in a job

Generally the people who want to download our music are djs on a budget and the most likely place our music will appear is on a music blog or the likes of zippyshare. As long as they cant find it on the first few pages of a google search, doesn't come up in filestube or whatever then that is usually enough to prompt people to go spend the $2 on the tune.

XmasPresent4Me.comYes you would like the general public to believe that or are you just uninformed. Most of these sites use ad network that may from time to time get a rogue advertiser with questionable content in their ads.
Anyone surfing any where on the net without appropriate A/V - Mal-ware prevention software has no business downloading anything from the net any where on the net.

I don't care what the general public believe. I work for an underground house/techno label. 2 weeks before and after a new release comes out people upload it. DJs in their 20 somethings, working on a budget, will have a quick scan on google and on the blogs to see if they can get it for free. If they want the tune and it is not easily accessible, they will pay for it. I know it, I'm a DJ myself and I have been in the same position. In the past, I have had ?30 to put a set together for a gig that I'm not even getting paid for, so I've got what I could for free and spent my 30 quid on the stuff I couldn't get or randomly found on Beatport.
Actually I don't even have anything against file-sharing, I'm good at my job because I can find anything I want to download. So I serve DMCA notices during the pre/post release period, when the release is hot so the label can make enough cash to pay the artist and put food on the table, and as long as I can help my friends, who really are fantastic people, continue to make a living from the things they love, then I am happy.
But don't get pre menstrual about what I am saying, I am giving you an insight into how it all happens from the other side of the table, and in effect, I am contributing to your efforts to understand how it all works. I'm not here to argue

There is no good in this business. As long as we upload illegal content, we cannot avoid DMCA take down notice. Hide link, change file name, whatever cannot protect anything. All filehost know what they are doing as we are. This is shit business. No one clean.
It isn't difficult for the authority to find your link. CC company also know what they are doing too. Some company agree to take the risk for the high gain. That's all.

We now have two problems, one is DMCA and no one will buy a lot of non DMCA content. Also if we want to be paid we have trouble with processors not paying sites and sites not paying us. This is worse than DMCA which is a single or bunch of files I uploaded. Now I can lose money because the entire site is having it's payments blocked.
The harder we make it for surfers to find our content the harder it is for surfers to find it Filetubes becomes obsolete. We have to have keywords. If Soma Records adopts the same method as RK, manwins doll, then he can stop me getting paid for uploading a film because he found pirated record in the same place.
