Youssef Thank you so much for the method ... I'm Egyptian too , and i'm a newbie ... i will be applying this method with my twists , i hope it works with me
been around since the days of MYTH. I never pursued this avenue,although I wanted to, but a few years back I got the famouse letter from the ISP, Microcrap and Warner Bros said I was being naughty LOL. But living in an apartment, was easy (for the first time) to pass it off as someone hijacked my wireless - and that was that. Since then, I became a ghost on the net and still torrent and such - I just took hiding a little more serious- wasn't much of an issue back in the 90's.
Hi! -I hope this is not too necro to reply.
Nice post. I'm a "lite" distributor, if you will
My question is broad - applies to the OP as well as other sites that have been up for over 10yrs + that use the filesharing method vs torrents. We're talking exchange of legal tender here, ergo, your ID and other personal information has to be released somewhere - so "they" know where to send the check. youssef93 mentioned that he DOESN'T recommend free hosting, so again - real personal info is getting out. How are legal issues avoided getting paid to distribute illegal files? This is one thing that has held me back, although I know many are making a fair living - I think we calculated somewhere in the range of $800/mo - to as high at $1,500/month for the big boys (no names-but I am sure you know who I am talking about).
Can someone shed light on this? Or am I REALLY missing something here? I have never seen this topic covered, which draws red flags for me. Why would anyone talk about "how-to" on torrenting illegal files, yet do not cover ID protection when it comes to getting paid. some webcop downloads your file, it's illegal, wont take a genius to figure out how you are getting paid, then trace it back.
Thanks in advance for anyone that can help me understand this!
My condolences to Pofecker. I did not know him, but anyone that can get a rep on the web, must be a great person.
You raise some valid points there. With regards to hosting, it's not as hard as you think as many hosts now offer anonymity. Something like prq.se (previously hosted ThePirateBay) and many others out there. PRQ doesn't care if everything you give them is fake. Also with bitcoins around since a while, hosts are starting to accept those as well, practically anonymizing the electronic transfers making it fairly hard (if not impossible) to trace.
Hosting aside, if they really want to trace things back to you, they can to some extent if they get to your CPA network. But then a reputable CPA network would not just volunteer information about you without court orders. Balckhat friendly CPA networks may offer you even more protection although I'm not sure about that.
It's a hassle to get a reputable CPA network to give out the details with court orders. Of course some networks may shut you down upon receipt of just a notification email if they are strictly against working with copyrighted content.
An alternative to CPA networks are PPD networks. It's usually harder to single out a single publisher from PPD networks.
All that aside, if you're asking how I or any others would be doing this with relatively no risk involved, it sort of comes down to your country of residence at the end of the day, which is your last line of defense against law suits.
Most third world countries (like mine) have very little if strict laws against copyright infringement. Here these kind of laws are still a "luxury" as we have so many more important issues at hand. Basically production companies here have kinda made peace with pirates. A director a while ago posted on his twitter account: "Dear pirates, please wait a bit before sharing my new movie (movie name)". He begged pirates not to share his movie too soon so as not to impact the theater profits. Get an idea about how things are?
It's ultimately your decision whether to take the risk. Depends on how much "layers" there are between you and legal action and how comfortable you are with these "layers" for your protection.
Hope that helps.
) do you personally prefer ppd or cpa? and of which of those sites do you personally use - to be the best - follow the best. If you walk in the same path they do, you'll end up at the same spot. Right?
