Quoted for truth. The reward idea has ruined the scene.

I really do not understand how paying for upload ruined scene

Before that (paying for upload) I had to wait for half an hour after the (lets say) tv show ended
to find it on one of the biggest boards - now I wait 1 to 5 minutes till it is
everywhere (you dont even have to search hard for it)

same for rare events (sporting in particular) it was a pain in the ... to find
now you can find every f....ing event that has any audience very easy

pirated movies were going for up to 5 dollar for one on the street
(speaking for Balkans and I am sure it is prety same in the rest of the world)
now they are lucky if they can get 0,5 cents

torrent invitees were going for up to 25$ now if they get 5$ for one
they kick themselves in the ......

etc..

most important I had have to pay for one premium account "big" money
for one premium account and hope that someone will upload there
everything I need - now I have various premim account earned by uploading a few things from time to time

will now someone care to explain
How the f.... paying for upload ruined the scene
(unless you were the one selling torrent invitees or CD on the streets)

The only thing that bothers you is that now someone earns from you
downloading stuff and you just can not live with that - is that right?

if you are normal you just would not care for that as long as you have what you need
as fast as possible

Damn, can we see a list of the 1000 uploaders somewhere?

[Putin]

But I seriously don't understand why it's they are getting told off.
Surely DMCA should just send emails for takedown then they take the file off etc. Nothing is illegal about that... they are mega retarded if they don't understand making a file-host site WILL have copyrighted material on it only because ANYONE can upload to it.... FFS copyright sucks ass. use file-hosting sites in russia next time.

[sloddl]

finally the antipiracy got some brain and sued the filehost instead of the sites which have just the links to the filehosts. lol clap clap they figured it out in like... 4 years?

we will see what the future brings.

[KAINSMONEY]

Saying reward ruins what? ,is like saying sharing is illegal, lol.

I already deleted all my files from Hotfile, luckily, they were that much, i wonder how much files were deleted this past few days.
