Just as a matter of interest, why do you password protect them......?

Also, if they do steal links and include the pass, there have been times when I've gotten them banned by reporting the posts as having stolen links.

to steal a file I've shared, as the majority of what I've shared here has ended up elsewhere uploaded to someone elses choice of file host........but links? How and why would that be a bad thing, or at least bad enough to be banned from VEF for? Taking what one's shared and uploading it to another file host, helps to kill the link that it was originally downloaded from. Posting the same link elsewhere, seems like it would help to keep it alive. Wouldn't it? |

Of course it depends on the interest level for your content. I see your point about keeping links active - particularly with minority interests, but some of the stuff I have posted gets thousands of downloads. I suspect not all of those are VEF members.

As a copyright snooper once said to me a few years ago on a industry board
we go after the big thieves first - website strippers - and then everything thats nearby You dont want your links posted anywhere near these sites especially given it only takes 1-2 downloads a month to keep a file alive The only known defence going by what people have tried against these low lifes is to put highly visible competitor website addresses on the caps so their removed by their own forums staff. Forum owners hate advertising of competitor sites Last edited by buttsie; March 26th, 2014 at 12:39 PM.. Reason: details |

Anyone can upload. Guess it all depends on one's point of view, but to me, posting a a link, associated with someone elses filehost account, is not something I consider stealing, where taking the actual file that someone extracted from a rare tape, uploading it to their own file host, in order to make some pocket change, I consider making a "living", from my sweat. Uploading is no effort though lol. The old saying, "no honor amongst thieves", goes doubly in the sharing world for sure. lol |

Does that guy still have a job? lol Whatever strategy they used hasn't
seemed to work too good has it? Not that I want them too succeed by any means! It would flat out suck if everything that I ever uploaded to share, would suddenly vanish.....(you know.....like any file on RS ultimately does lol), but for there to suddenly be nothing to download.......at all?....now that would truly be devastating!

Obviously you haven't had links reported multiple times over the span of several months. I have and it isn't fun trying to keep track of which links have been killed and wasting time re-uploading them time after time after time ad infinitum. I can't stop someone from making money off files I upload, but I can sure stop them from making me waste what little spare time I have replacing links over and over.....

You're right.......ripping dvd's, vhs tapes, Laserdiscs or what have you aren't taxing physically at all. They are however.....taxing on one's wallet, and it's much cheaper and easier for someone to steal someone elses efforts than to run out and purchase their own to rip or transfer. Most of the stuff that I share......doesn't come to me very cheap I promise you. As far as replacing links go? lol I'll make a little wager with you, that I've replaced and/or re-uploaded more files since I've been a member of VEF than you've ever thought about uploading! lol Granted......not because of things that have been reported......but from either file hosts wholesale dumping of my files as well as many others (Rapidshare) a file host being banned two weeks after I began using them, (File Serve) or a file hosts overloaded aged servers crashing like a 500 car pile up on the Santa Monica freeway, losing 1.5 TB of files in one fell swoop! (FF). The fact of the matter....is that file hosts suck. Every dad gum one of them. But.......as much as they suck....and I'd hope that you'd agree with me on this Jenny....if we didn't enjoy sharing things with other folks like I know we both do.....we'd never have a care in the world about file hosts, because we'd both be doing something much less aggravating lol. I see your points absolutely about someone stealing one's links, .....thanks for explaining what you meant to me, it's just that with me......and what I share, the folks that do the "stealing", have for the most part made me feel like I've been working to help supplement their paychecks! lol |
