Well, for those of you following the story of how I apparently "stole covers" from a site--here's some follow up. Since, the account my friend created was banned... and he can't respond.
1. I don't own all those domains--so maybe they should check their facts.
2. I didn't download and upload them, my friend did, in response to the covers that have been stolen here for months.
He did so with my consent though, so if that makes me a bad person--whatever I don't care. If you want to follow a bunch of douches that think just because they made a coversite 5 years after everyone else their special, you are welcome to it.
Ask them where all their content came from, they can't answer--it came from ********* and here, if they say otherwise, they're still lying to you.
Here are the log files from jan- to present showing who was directly accessing the originals without using the download script--circumventing the credit system. There were so few, we didn't really care, but I think it's funny that it was the admin's at the same site calling us theives that did it
If you are wondering why the gallery is down, it's to change the location to protect the covers--and block everything but the script from accessing it. Since they are so keen on stealing--for real, at least we paid when we "stole."
Helloshaun is the main offender, there are few other IP's in the same region following suit, but mostly the person that posted the "call out" thread.
I don't really care, it's free advertising and most of the people following you blindly are confused. The posts to the thread are half-truths and lies as far as I can tell. Marginal-error? Cancel his account, no he didn't, but I happily did it for him.
Anyway, I figured I'd post a response, minus the shitty sites name.
Go ahead and keep paying 3:1 ratios for covers, hopefully they give you a free bottle of lube when you pay.
As for the mass mailings, expect another one welcoming everyone to upload the content they've downloaded from you--here.
Thanks --have a nice day.
Here's the access logs from the last month from helloshaun AND HvB stealing shit. Feel free to check out the time stamps--it's been going on well before January, I just don't care to dig through the rotated logs.
