Takedown Piracy owner Nate Glass states, “The Aikido Program is exclusive to TDP, playing a large role in the over five million copyright infringements we’ve removed to date. Committed to innovation, we developed version 2.0 as a way to magnify and maximize Aikido’s effectiveness. Takedown Piracy’s customers may rest assured they have the best piracy protection possible.”

Aikido 2.0 uses a PHP script to exploit large piracy aggregation sites. It takes sites meant to assist illegal downloads and transforms them into valuable assets in anti-piracy. True to its martial art namesake, the Aikido Program uses the strength of its opponent to its own advantage.

Three of the largest piracy site aggregators are now utilized by Aikido 2.0, which leaves pirates without a place to hide. The progressive program exploits pirates reliance on the exposure derived from aggregators, exposing and destroying them in the process.

In addition to utilizing the data Aikido 2.0 gathers to remove infringing links from file hosting services, Takedown Piracy also works the data into its renowned SEO program, Search Clean. The results are mass amounts of removals from highly visible search engines, like Google.

Takedown Piracy actively tracks at least nine different ways content may be pirated, providing widespread coverage. Takedown Piracy offers protection in the following areas: cyberlocker sites like Rapidshare, torrent sites, tube sites, auctioned or unauthorized DVD resellers, search engines, image hosts, blogs, forums and social media.

Wanting to better involve the fans of Takedown Piracy’s numerous artist clients, the company created a tips page. Millions of additional eyes provide Takedown Piracy with an army seeking out illegal downloads on torrent, tube and cyberlocker sites. Users are asked to report the copyright owner and a link to the infringement.

U.S. House Introduces ‘Rogue Websites’ Bill – Lawyers line up to make money pretending to hate the bill while actually loving it

Posted on October 28, 2011 by Nate Glass

Recently, the US House of Representatives introduced a “rogue websites” bill to counter the absolute torrent (pun intended) of foreign copyright infringers who make a living by stealing and trading in the intellectual property of others.  Here’s some snippets of the article from Xbiz:

“The legislation would let the U.S. Attorney General seek court orders to block foreign websites that steal and sell U.S. products.”

““Rogue websites that steal and sell American innovations have operated with impunity,” Smith said. “The online thieves who run these foreign websites are out of the reach of U.S. law enforcement agencies and profit from selling pirated goods without any legal consequences.””

Then we get a quote from an attorney since they know everything and aren’t motivated by money at all right?  But this attorney is an expert in this matter because he represents a large number of *cough* alleged *cough* copyright infringers.

“This bill, like the companion Protect IP Act pending in the Senate, will impose undue burdens upon online service providers to monitor and police user activity, and ultimately stifle free speech on the Internet,” adult industry attorney Larry Walters told XBIZ.

“While it may be appropriate to consider new approaches to protecting intellectual property in the digital age, shutting down websites based on mere allegations is inconsistent with fundamental constitutional values such as due process and freedom of expression.”

Now here’s the thing to keep in mind.  Walters is an attorney.  Of course he would be opposed to the government doing anything that cuts his profession out of their piece of the pie.  There are literally 100s of 1000s of foreign-based copyright infringers.  According to Lawrence Walters, if you’re a copyright holder, you should have to sue each and every one of them individually.  That in essence would bankrupt copyright holders so of course no one will do it.  What this means is that as long as the government doesn’t pass tough copyright laws there will always exist a problem with piracy.  And lawyers like Walters will be there to represent the pirate and another attorney will be there to represent the copyright holder.  At the end of the day…the lawyers win.  The only things lawyers will ever oppose are things that don’t require a lawyer.  One wonders how Walters would feel about a law that would require an individual to be accompanied by a lawyer at all times.  Quite the win/win scenario for attorneys eh?

Or like the old Demotivator poster says:
“If you’re not a part of the solution, there’s good money to be made in prolonging the problem.”

Takedown Piracy gets more attention on Wjunction

Posted on September 23, 2011 by Nate Glass

So yesterday I posted an email sent to me by an anonymous emailer.  I did not edit the email in any way and I did not even comment on it.  I just posted it.  Also, like I do with every comment I get from my haters, I approved the only comment made on the article so far.  Which to be fair wasn’t from one of my haters, but just someone who disputed the verbiage used by the anonymous emailer.

Today I was alerted to the fact that once again, the website Wjunction was abuzz with references to me.  I have no problem with this and I think healthy debate is great for everyone.  I would have liked to have posted my thoughts on Wjunction but my past accounts there were both suspended and for a time my IP was banned.  I imagine this was the work of someone who just didn’t like me and my company and NOT indicative of Wjunction’s current management who seem to be very fair and open to what it is I do.

So I will answer the comments made in that thread here so that my detractors and supporters can understand my position on these matters.

Anonymous little birdie dishes the dirt on Filesonic/Wupload

Posted on September 21, 2011 by Nate Glass

From: Mr Anonymous
Subject: Random

Message Body:
I came across your site and figured you’d like to know the following:

FileSonic and wUpload are the same owners/site. WUpload was setup as a backup plan in case filesonic ever gets taken to court or giving a lawsuit (like hotfile did). This way, if one goes down, the other remains. I did get their company records and what not, from the appropriate government resource (you can also pay to see their accounting), they are run by the same people, a couple of unprofessional kids.

WJunction, you said seems to be used by many people in “warez”. You should know this already but wjunction was started as a warez webmaster forum, it was created by the katz.cd staff at the time as a place to offer support for their site. It is a warez forum and always will be. Also at this time it has a joint ownership, a dutch guy and some anonymous guy.

If you really want to take these sites down, I suggest you get in contact with BREIN or, in the case of the filehosts, a US equivalent.

If BREIN were to take down ECATEL, a “bulletproof” host, world spam would drop, half the warez websites in the world would die and everyone else would rush to remove their sites from the country (NL).

As for the filehosts, their mistake is that they advertise directly, personally, to the members of wjunction, a warez forum. In court, this would prove that they aim to host warez and know full well that they are. In which case, safe harbour provisions would no longer apply because they are asking pirates to store copyrighted data on their servers. This is similar to how hotfile’s lawsuit came about.

Someone will take these hosts down one day, it just takes effort and time. They are run by kids, they would never stand a chance in court, so as soon as they get a lawsuit on their hands, they’re done for.

We are ensuring a great studio like Blue Underground is able to operate by preventing online theft of its movies. Everyone has a right to safeguard their artistic endeavors.”

While Glass started Takedown Piracy two years ago, it wasn’t until November 2010 that he was able to turn it into a full-time venture.

TDP monitors leading piracy culprits, providing clients with monthly breakdowns on its success. As the company grows, so does its resources and resolve to protect clients’ content. To date, TDP has removed over 3.5 million copyright infringements for its clients.

This screenshot pretty much sums up every freeloader thief pirate on the internet

Posted on August 11, 2011 by Nate Glass

Yes, what do you mean by this phrase “make your own”?  Do you actually expect a worthless parasite to create something?  It is soooo much easier to just take the hard work of others for your own personal gain.  Prototypical cashwhore pirate.  Contribute nothing, take everything.

Takedown Piracy Ramps Up Operating Systems

Posted on July 22, 2011 by Nate Glass

MARINA DEL REY, Calif.—Takedown Piracy has increased its operating systems for more effective copyright policing. The increase in computers and servers is in keeping with Takedown Piracy owner Nate Glass’s business model.

Glass is committed to reinvesting revenue back in the company, furthering growth and results.  Now Takedown Piracy is able to dedicate individual operating systems to monitor the various forms of piracy, including cyberlocker infringements, torrents, tube sites and social network sites. The advanced Aikido Program will run off its own server, generating the removal of even more infringements in a shorter time.

“Takedown Piracy began as a passion project for me—something I wanted to do because it’s the right thing to do,” Glass said. “As the company grows, it becomes even more important to hold true to our ideals and vision. Reinvesting the majority of our revenue is an investment in our customers. It keeps us focused on our mission to remove, prevent and educate the world about piracy.”

For more information regarding Takedown Piracy’s services, click here.

Takedown Piracy utilizes a multi-faceted approach towards preventing online content theft.  Among its array of servers is one dedicated solely to monitoring over 500 cyberlocker forums and blogs daily, as well as sending infringement notices to the sites. Another server’s focus is on BitTorrent sites, tracking the websites responsible for the brunt of torrent infringements. The result is torrent removals and notices sent to Google for non-compliant sites.

The observance of the largest tube and streaming sites, plus Twitter, requires a separate server, which generates infringement notices. In addition, a server is utilized as the Googler. It constantly runs through Google results for client’s properties and generates removal notices.

Among the many attributes separating Takedown Piracy from its competitors is its new custom tool, the Aikido Program, which is now running on a separate server as well.
