Default Re: FileHosts Premium & Affiliations Comparison

Hi All:

Changes are happening by the minute... here's some interesting information maybe somebody knows about and can inform the rest of us about this server: It's about Filemates.com? It's not even in the JDownloader hosts list and we all know how thorough JDownloader is. They might have been mentioned it in posts but I may have missed it, Sorry If I did.... It might have just gone unnoticed except that a very popular linking web site just within the past couple of days started using them, blatantly and aggressively linking dozens of copyrighted material clearly in violation of DMCA. They WERE and still are (in some links) using UL.TO through today. And clicking on their affiliate link (filemates.com) brings up an interesting page. Free service is VERY fast (you gotta wait 30 seconds) but VERY reliable and you can run several simultaneous downloads at once at incredible speed.

It's interesting to note that they seem to be more concerned about transmission of porn, gambling etc, than other DMCA related stuff on their TOS page but not on their news page (see link below). Their affiliate program only deals with sales and NOT pay per download... DMCA rules for them are minimal one paragraph unlike filedino who's TOS page concerning DMCA issues reads like a lengthy death warning to stay away from Filedino if you want to upload material that DMCA would not like..... however they say that (FileMates) WILL surrender personal information (scarey), ... read their terms of service.... Just wonder if there are ANY connections to USA with Filemates... also:

Code:
http://filemates.com/?op=news
I smell something fishy, OR a smokescreen to be a good site to link stuff to.
Hope this adds to the information base and someone can expand. Keep your eyes open....
