If you are a bunch of people and you are making your living from this kind of site then I apologise. I work for a living elsewhere and just had a bit of a hobby with xxxbay. I see plenty of sites offering free material and did not feel that xxxbay was any different. I have no intention of taking bread from peoples mouths. I do not get a lot of time to spend on xxxbay as I have lots of other things to do so I have taken down everything which I believe could offend you but if there is anything left or you find anything in the future please just let me know. I am not some kind of monster preying on you and have probably never looked at your sites (let alone stolen anything). I have certainly never paid for a site and you can all check your payment details to confirm this. Everything on xxxbay was downloaded from what I believed to be OK sources. There is so much of this type of thing out there that you never know what is legit and what isn't.
So I do apologise.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if there are further problems but please bear in mind that answers / actions are not instantaneous as I spend a lot of time working away from home.

I sent you an email about a month ago, when you were still hosting your movies on a BT server. Obviously BT spotted what you were doing and closed you down.
At no point did I contact BT, that's their problem not mine... in fact the email I sent you was friendly, suggesting that you were headed for problems if you continued to give away stolen material. I got no answer to that email.
Then I noticed that you had removed some Party Hardcore movies, so I assumed that they had contacted you for violating their copyright?
There is no such thing as public domain content.
There might be the odd loophole here and there, but you can't just distrubute people's members areas and post them for free, it puts a big dent in the market and devalues the content.
I bet Endemol would love to hear about the celeb movies you still have on there... but I ain't gonna tell 'em. I am just suggesting that you should find another hobby.
At no point in this thread have I been hostile, my main concern is that sites like yours are killing our business.
