This thread will turn into an ugly fight... I hope I am wrong, but we saw that already, usually those anti-cashwhore ppl are provoking, and pinching others, cheering and what not. Then the other side find something, and it finishes in warnings, infractions, bans... This thread cannot be friendly, there will always be that kind of hostility.
There is a great divide between those that were in the scene before file hosting rewards and those that have only been here since all the money making began. Please excuse the very broad definitions and explanation, it is in an effort to keep this post small but driving the point enough for everyone to understand.
I will not use the term Cash Whore for the purpose of not offending anyone so it is read as I meant to write it which is as unbiased as I can be. I like the term, I think it is fitting of many that upload strictly for cash.
I will add this disclaimer that I do not think you can call uploading for cash a job any more then saying someone that panhandles (Google it) for cash daily has a job, but that is my opinion.
The Anti-Money Making group believe in large part that uploading for cash has caused many problems including crappy content, cluttered forums, and the wrath of the authorities and content distributors and their own greed over virtual losses of free distribution.
This group shares their files without consideration of any compensation, probably spent money on file hosting or an ftp server or even a site, public or private.
This group complains when the other group whines about not getting paid.
The Anti-Money Making group has seen the changes in the scene and adapt to the changes to stay involved.
Many in Anti-Money Making group have spent more money on the scene without thinking about making any money.
On to the other group:
The Pro Money Making group believes that they should be able to not only share files without any issues and profit from the sharing.
From the posts made by many of the Pro Money Making group you see it goes deeper then just earning a few bucks right now, they think and believe they will/would earn a income indefinitely from uploading someone else's copyrighted works freely without any issues at all.
Many from the pro money making group find excuses for or just refuse to admit they do it for the money and no other reason, but can be found posting earnings screenshots, bragging about earnings or sales, and some even call it their job or source of income, not that that is different from a job.
Pro Money Makers strongly believe because they have been able to do things this way for a while and others even longer that it should never change no matter what. They will take risks on new file host and big earnings even after being warned they will probably never collect the money.
When a file host does not pay they have been robbed and the host is a scammer even though they are stealing from the copyright holders themselves.
They complain and spew profanity when a copyright holder or distributor complains about content piracy money losses but complain themselves when they loose their Upload/Download/Affiliate Money.
