Many WJunction webmasters have been hit hard by PayPal declining smaller filelockers. As you already know it has been initiated by a guy who works in adult industry in a legit way. Let me bring some further explanation so you better understand the motivation and all the aspects of this issue from another legit porn industry worker.
The industry has been a great business for many years, before recent few. With the economic slow down there have been popping out brand new sites providing free porn videos as tubes and warez boards in combo with filelockers. The sales have been hit drastically and are in constant decline for a couple of years.
When it has been a golden rush in porn some guy produced some porn material, uploaded it on his own paysite and have been selling it thru that site affiliates. Everyone was happy: he gets the profit from those porn videos he shot, creates some new ones, pay the models and production guys and we affiliates make money by sending traffic to his site.
Then we have got all of you on our heads. You steal from paysite members areas and give it for free, so the traffic pays for hosting services only. You contribute nothing to the production and won't let the original producer to earn that much money. You also won't let us - legit affiliates to generate that much profit by selling those sites.
Now the karma is bitching you. You are losing some money because of slow down we experienced. I believe the rules have change and there's no safe heavens for file lockers any longer. The most aggressive copyright infringers are getting dropped by PayPal and credit card billers (and it's smaller ones depending solely on stolen content) . And big guys will be still working, but won't let to have any significant copyright infringer on its board. Times have changed and like we say - adapt or die. Focus on something bright this time, so everyone is happy.
Best of luck,
Love & Peace
