I also wanted to know what you guys think on the following matters:

*How do people acquire content posted on DDL sites (forums, blogs, etc.)? I mean that all of these content - TV episodes, Movies, Music, Porn - comes at a cost. Someone has to acquire it at a cost for the very first time to make it available online. Of course once it is public then more people can make copies out of them. The question is how do people get the original content in the first place? What is the incentive for sharing the links since most people download them for free?

*BitTorrent is known for content pollution. Fakes files being uploaded by malicious people or by the movie industry. Is this seen in content hosted on one click hosting sites? From my experience most of the content on one click hosting is clean. I.e., the content is what is stated in the name.

Your 2nd question, no, cause @ bittorrent it's easy to see the list of IPs that are connected to that torrent at the moment, therefor it's easy to sue those people

because some filehosts are good and other sucks?

for example... filesonic has still the 400MB limit by default, and i know at least 3 not big but not small forums which doesn't allow filesonic at all or some where you must change your settings to allow free users to download up to 1GB files at filesonic or you will get banned.

the moderators on the sites must control this, so that people can't post fake downloads... also if they do then they should be banned.

yes... but not as much as the file hosts do.

no idea... maybe that oron owner is the same as the pornbb owner? or they just got such a good deal, which they couldn't reject.
