Hello,

I need to confirm one thing. I just uploaded some movies which were in *.mkv, *.avi and *.mp4. After some time i saw that some of files have been deleted from the root automatically even i didn't share those files yet and the deleted reason was Digital Fingerprint.:O

Even my backup copies of those files have also been deleted. If they keep continue this thing then i think Filesonic will be the next fall-down after Hotfile.

What do you think about this deletion system?

DF works in a way that it tries to find a match from a huge DB of already submitted fingerprints, if found, shazam, your file is deleted. It is completely automated.

Btw, I am sure you already created topic like this one, aren't you?
 
You need to change the MD5 of the file inside the rar if you compress it.

Even if its password protected they can scan the archive and get the size of files & remove if it matches the DB.

I think there checking actual filenames aswell.
 
Nothing will solve your problem, anything that gets sales will be deleted. I had a 10mb.bin test file getting sales with and that got deleted as well. :facepalm:
 
@ Mr RT
Because that was considered spamming, you still didn't realized that yourself? Read their TOS

@ All, unless you encrypt your file, you can't protect yourself, it's just a question is something you've uploaded, already in database
 
i change the file name usually,should i change md5 as well?there is an option in sborg for that but it was written if u change the file name,md5 changes automatically,i rename the files to the title lol but since its porn,they dont delete much
 
If on RDP, then :

Yeah i created that type of topic but it was not about instant deleting. I just face this problem today :(. you will be amaze to know that i use some special character in a filename but it was deleted too (Though there time period is kinda longer than other deleted files) :(.

BTW, Can we also change the MD5 of *.MKV, *.AVI type files instead of only RAR?
 
As I said, you CANNOT protect yourself from digital fingerprint, unless you can encrypt the content itself. md5, changing filename, rarring, rerarring and whatnot, cannot help against DF. People who suggest that, have no idea what they are talking about, and what technology is used in fingerprinting, or how it is done in the first place.

I just got an idea, how you COULD protect yourself...

Reencoding, and reversing left-right side of the image could do the trick. I saw people doing that on Youtube, which is also protected with DF
 
Do you think it is as easy as you think, Cvrle? I mean reencoding and reversing? I share about 50 movies a day (Single Link) do you think i could do this easily? Afcorse i can't. This is why i said that i think Filesonic is near to end soon. Sales are also down or maybe they are cheating. Anyhow, which type of encryption you are talking about? How can we encrypt files?
 
If you break their TOS, what do you expect then? As long as they don't start banning accounts on a massive scale, and delete all copyright infringing material, they are fine. So are you. You don't get, that they are protecting you as well, right? They could, on request, hand over your info, like IP logs, paypal address, to authorities...

How we are breaking their TOS? can you elaborate a little bit? ha? You are selling a cigarette and you also mention on that pack that "smoking is injurious for health" isn't it sound insane?
