They suspended my account forever. Reason cheating downloads. I e-mailed them again and again and they finaly told me: Your account was suspended due to cheating hotfile downloads (fake downloads). I replied you once despite fact you violate our Terms of Service. I'm not going to argue with you. If you make new account and we monitor this again - your IP,payment info etc will be blacklisted. Code (markup):
Seems that they have been burnt in the past by people downloading their own files so they are taking this really seriously... that is why I don't remote transfer any files from hotfile to another download site
Anyone have advice on contacting HotFile? My account was deleted (I never uploaded), it was a paid account for 6 months. I have emailed them 4 times and no response at all! Anyone else have this problem?
Did you pay for it recently and how did you pay for it? Credit card/Paypal? If so you can file a dispute to get your money back since they did not provide you with the service(s) that you paid for.
got my account restored today. They have suspended it before a week and asking how i got that much traffic? replied all details and they have restored it today. now I am happy.
Wow, I don't know how and why after 14 months my HF account is restored and they sent me 300+ dollars in my PP account. All earnings from 14 months. And it's still premium (16 days remained). Yesterday I lost my job and I couldn't be in joy by this HF news.
Please Read: Feb 9, 2011 NEW YORK (Reuters) – Five Hollywood studios are suing a website that streams movies, accusing it of copyright infringement on a "massive scale". Disney Enterprises Inc, Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp, Universal City Studios Productions, Columbia Pictures Industries and Warner Bros Entertainment Inc on Tuesday filed suit against Hotfile Corp and Hotfile manager Anton Titov, according to documents filed with the United States District Court, Southern District of Florida Miami Division. The Hollywood studios say that Panamanian Hotfile actively encourages users to upload and disseminate copyrighted content, and pays them to do so. They say that Hotfile has profited from the arrangement. "Hotfile profits from this theft by charging a monthly fee to users who download content from its servers. Hotfile also operates an incentive scheme that rewards users for uploading the most popular files -- which are almost exclusively copyrighted works. Hotfile profits richly while paying nothing to the studios for their stolen content," the Motion Picture Association of America Inc said in a separate statement. In less than two years of operation, Hotfile has become one of the most heavily-trafficked sites on the Internet, according to the filing. The studios are seeking damages and injunctive relief, according to the filing. Source: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20110209/media_nm/us_hollywood_lawsuit
