FilePost.com - new file hosting released! An official thread.

This may result to FilePost get banned at other hosts that in present time allow remote upload from their servers. If FilePost limit remote upload to other file hosting sevices, why should these services will allow full remote upload to filepost!? It is an endless circle!

How much content is own made ​by persons who upload this files to file hosts? I guess very little. So if this content been already stolen from original authors, why should prevent others to also share this content!?

If the uploader can prove that his uploaded materials is a complete in his copyright, then i agree that this user may have option to disable remote upload to other hosts. But protects the files of peoples who shared someone's copyrighted work i do not agree.

Asking protection for something that is already been stolen is immoral!

 

Excellent idea, if its implemented it would be really great so we can share our links freely. Looking forward for this

 

As I have mentioned we still consider this idea, thus no final decision is made already.

@yupirat - We have partners who share some unique content that is difficult to find - and sure they would appreciate such a feature.

We should not suppose that everyone steals each other's content to my mind.

I agree this question is a tough one, that is why once again - it is being considered only.

 

I dont think such a feature will get filepost get banned by other file hosts because filepost does allow remote uploading files to affiliate's other filehost accounts. Actually the goal of remote upload is to facilitate easy uploading between own accounts not for leeching other's uploaded files.

Remote upload is meant for making uploading task easy for the original uploader not caring he owns copyright of the files or not. If anyone have complaint regarding copyright issues they can contact DMCA section of filepost freely. As far as filehost's are concerned its their duty to protect their partners hard works, not to get leeched by someone within seconds without any regard.

 

Web upload speeds VERY slow since weeks... (40KB/s per file)

Can you fix this to upload at least at 500KB/s per file?

Thanks

 

That would mean other hosts would need to do the same in other words like for like, unless you all come to an agreement, otherwise I can see some of them simply blocking FP altogether.

Its ok for these people with fast internet connections who brag about 40mb upload speed but the majority of us are not that lucky and manage the best we can

Considering these people are not the original content owners anyway, its whack they are even asking for file protection

If they are the original content owners let the few sort out their own problems

 

There you go you said it yourself if someone is stealing your content file a DMCA unless you have something to hide, then it becomes then it becomes the responsibility of the filehost to take action.

 

Have you tried FTP? That is strange really low speed, however I am sure FTP would work much faster for you. You can use FileZilla software for example.

 

DMCA complaints can occur to anyone both to original uploader and leecher's. But the problem here not about DMCA but who originally uploaded first to internet (not mean who produced it or have copyright rights). If that original uploader have not uploaded then no other user's can get these. So its filehost's responsibility to give at least some basic protection to his files otherwise he don't want to upload such exclusive files to that filehost.

 

@FilePost & dkp
I say that i agree for this type of protection, but only for realy original content.

Whats happened if user protect files, and after some period of time you get DMCA notice about copyrighted files? Are all other files of this user been unprotected, or what? If one or few files been noticed, its likely to all or most of files of this user not original. I agree that this will be great feature, but is too many unclear things about this.

This feature will be easy to implement, but peoples will always find ways to do what they want to do. If this been implemented, and remote upload will be disallowed, what will prevent peoples to remote via ftps, proxyes, vps servers, rapidleech servers, leechboxes, or in some other way? Finaly if all other ways do not been succesful, user can download files to own computer, then can upload to wanted hosts. There is always a way...

 

Yes people can download & re-upload via ftp but most leecher's about 80% will not attempt this unless the file is really very demanding. By introducing such a protection feature leeching can be minimized to a great extent though it cannot completely stop. Also less leeching means less spamming in download forums which will be good for forum moderators too.

 

only the files that are reported will be deleted.

 

Most of us are working for sales which is also ultimately what the Filehost wants, start messing around with tools and options most of us rely on to please a couple of whingers who are asking to protect a third parties copyright data is plain dumb.

If you are asking for protection against original stolen data you have no rights over that data what so ever.

If the data is yours then password protect the files, but once it's out on the web there is nothing to stop leeching anyway so live with it that's a fact, so stop trying to do what you have attempted with other hosts and ruin the party for the majority

 

Sure, but no one is post links to all forums. I post to one group of forums, someone to other group. I have nothing against that someone remote and post my files to forums where i not post links, or where i not been registered.

 

Nice to know, pirates are talking about how to stop piracy !

 

In such cases leeching might not be a problem but there can be situations where leecher's post same files in the same forum repeated times in many new & old threads with many mirror links so ultimately no sales to anyone.

 

Exactly! and to help forum moderators limit the piracy to one user

 

This is thing what i want to say, but English not my primary language, and i not been clear. If file is pirated, is immoral to request protection for this file. That's my point.

 

I know and it's also what I've been saying, we are on the same side my friend
