They are actually one of the smaller fileshare hosts and becoming smaller because they actually take down content when a complaint is sent over by the copyright holder - and I believe their size limit is actually a lot higher than 50 mB (around 300 is common these days)
They are not just limited to porn - although there is quite a bit of it - and they dont offer access to all of the files if you pay for the premium - you can still only download from links on the msg boards out there.
The real way to go against this stuff is for the copyright holders to police their stuff a little better - but to be honest I know of quite a few that post their own stuff on purpose - part of their viral marketing that also includes things like the newsgroups etc., so youre not going to find that many program owners that will do much.

I dont get why paysites do this. What is the advantage of this above offering samples on your own server/ free hosted gallery?
With the last ones you can put up a direct link and dont need to trust on type in traffic or people taking the trouble to find your paysite in google.
I can see why paysites would do this in the old nasty dollars way when bandwith was expensive. BW is cheap nowadays though.
The only thing I can think off is that they want to pretent they are surfers as well. I think they people on forums dont believe this one- post-wonder bots though.
what IS the psycology of paysites doing this?
|confused|

(and my apologies urb. I was in a lazy mood and thought I would bump an old thread with the same topic rather then just write a new one myself)

Pat - first off - you get name recognition - they always have the domain name as an overlay on the video file, second - and you'd be surprised how easy this is, they can insert links, etc (we wont go into everything you can do LOL) into the movies themselves making conversions much better - and they dont have to pay a middleman(affiliates).
And yes they do pose as surfers - although there are posting bots that can do that very easily these days

ah yes! I have seen this inserting of the links into the files. I know what you are talking about!
Thanks Linkster.
