BitShare: A Bit of Obfuscation going on. Bit suspect if you ask me!

by Editor on July 10, 2012

BitShare.com is a bit too suspect for our liking. We did a bit of digging around into Bitshare and we came up with quite a bit of disturbing evidence.

BitShare.com, like many file locker sites offer members incentives to upload. This means they host quite a bit of popular content such as Hollywood Movies, TV Shows, Stolen Pornography, Pirate Software and even extreme Child Pornography.

In recent times they have been making statements for public consumption such as “we will ban uploaders of porn” or “we will ban uploaders of copyright files”. However these statements are simply obfuscating the fact that they reward uploaders of illicit content every day.

Read on a “bit” (ok sorry we’ll stop that now!) to see what we found out about BitShare

BitShare have been busy hiding away their affiliate and pay per download offers on popular forum WJunction however we did some digging and found two examples of their promotions on other forums. Below are two screenshots of BitShare canvassing for people to upload and be rewarded for it.

Another example on another forum.

BitShare.com offer premium accounts on either an ongoing subscription basis or for a preset period of time. They are currently selling these accounts via Paypal and through resellers who accept all kinds of payments. Below is a screenshot of their premium accounts page.

The sell accounts through resellers to hedge against losing their Paypal account.

You can find any type of content you like on BitShare. It isn’t difficult to find copyright and illicit content on the site.

Below we see a number of DVD Rips of Hollywood films being shared on the BitShare file locker.

You can also download your favourite TV Series from BitShare.

If it’s porn that you’re after then BitShare has plenty of that, pages and pages of links to all the porn you could want to download.

BitShare also have copious amounts of pirate software with leading titles such as PhotoShop from Adobe.

Most disturbingly, found far too often on these file locker sites, is a large amount of potential child pornography. It’s easily searchable but we wont tell you how.

BitShare is a File Sharing site that is trying to obfuscate it’s true nature since other file lockers have lost their Paypal processing or other payment processing methods. Unfortunately it’s all a front. BitShare have plenty of pirate software, tv shows, movies, games, pornography and child exploitation material available and they sell it at a premium.

We believe BitShare should be shut down, at the very least they should lose access to Payment processing and their resellers, who are just as liable, should also lose their respective payment processing methods.

1. From which year are the posted screens? 2010? 2011?

2. If you really find cp files, why dont you report them first to us? Post us some example links.You also need to contact the National Center for Missing & Exploited Childrens CyberTipline.

3. Try searching for: pedo, shit, porn, sex, teen, underage, fuck or anything else on filestube.com – All links are deleted. Stop spreading false lies, none of this pedo or porn files are online.

Stop using dirty tricks or spread lies about our service.

Thank you Ramadong San for shedding some light on this. We were already suspecting this “moral” crap of this douche to be fake. All he intends to do is collect some donation money by using dirty tricks and spreading lies about legal companies and run off.

you should shut down filestube too, because this is tool to find illegal things. You should try to shut down rapidshare too, why you are only describing the smaller hostings ? and when something is illegal – you can write to bitshare, they have 48h to delete this file and in 100% cases – they remove. Therefore this is legal business.

If you think mediafire, depositfiles, and putlocker are “smaller hostings”, you need hospitalization ASAP dude.

Yes, you right.
This site want to kill file host while file host is legal server.

They lie to Paypal. I checked all links they show in pictures, all links die.

The owners of this site are Adult webmaster, so they did dirty tricks to shut down file host without right reason.

“Most disturbingly, found far too often on these file locker sites, is a large amount of child pornography. It’s easily searchable but we wont tell you how”

You didn’t really blur the important parts, anyone can still see what you searched for.
Apart from that I don’t see any bitshare links in this particular screenshot.

If you really cared about children you would report the links you find directly to the filehosts so they delete the files and hand over the uploaders data to the police.

“If you really cared about children you would report the links you find directly to the filehosts so they delete the files and hand over the uploaders data to the police.”

To only have them to reappear again the next day.

With that logic, why are you still sending out DMCA takedown requests? The contents will just “reappear the next day”. That is just about the stupidest comment I have seen here so far, and this little blog isn’t lacking in that department.

@Bonscott: They (he) have linked to at least 30 websites that may contain child pornography, while showing us the most efficient ways to do so.. I don’t think they’re going to stop now. Some of the links are even blurred in such a way that they’re still readable, making the blur more like a highlighter.

Bottom line: If you’re looking to discover new file hosting sites or child pornography, stopfilelockers.com is for you.

PS: I dare you to approve this comment.

That’s why we’re not sending much of new DMCAs lately but rather concentrate on closing of sites that are not compliant with DMCA. We’re dead tired from the years of cat and mouse game where you send DMCA to only see your content reappearing again, often within hours because those sites never terminate repeat offenderd and never implement standard technical measures to prevent infringements (such as DFP or MD5) as they’re required to do as per DMCA law.

Reply

C0X July 12, 2012 at 9:31 pm

I can understand your frustration, but you need to remember that the DMCA is an American law, and the majority of file lockers, although having a DMCA policy, are not actually protected by this law and do not need to follow its guide-lines. The DMCA is clean, clear, and easy to understand, which is why we use it.

As for your contents being shared freely.. There is nothing you can do about this. You can close as many sites as you want but in the end all you’re doing is pissing off people that never respected you in the first place. Learn to live with it.

Hello you. You should be evaluated in a bad part of filehost you do not see the good points of filehost. you should think a man who has good points and bad points. You just wear off suggestions that bad of a person. I think you do not deserve to have this to say.

It is their problem to make sure their site is compliant and not used to distribute illegally copyrighted works and also a wealth of outright disgusting things such as CP. If they cannot run their site clean, they have no business of running it. It’s that simple.

Internet was free before the SFL project, and will remain free after this project is finished. Freedom and freedom to steal are the two different things. You’re still free to use internet to express yourself and to contribute through your own creativity, SFL and mr. King and his supporters are not going to stop you from doing that.

But if you’re using internet to make a living by means of stealing other people’s copyrighted works, while not investing a dime in the production costs – well, it’s time to find yourself another way to earn money. Posting of copyrighted works at file lockers “bidness” is not going to last long.

if you do something that people will want to share with filelockers – if you will feel you are loosing money, then i think you will see how is it..

movies, mp3s, apps are not free! dont think if you can get it from internet its in 100% legal – NO … IT’S NOT! someone gave money to produce it and wants money back!! so go to amazon and buy a movie, go to cinema and watch it!!

Thieves Suck July 12, 2012 at 4:25 am

You thieves are all the same.
Don’t you understand that those file host owners are making MILLIONS of dollar off of your STUPID asses?

And they are destroying the livelihoods of the people who create the content that they are paying uploaders to steal for them.

You’re all a bunch of pawns in the games of the filehost owners. And while you’re busy doing all the stealing and all the work for him…he is laughing at your dumb asses while he sites back in his mansion sipping champagne.

And the worst part? The thieving piece of garbage doesn’t even have to work for it. He does not create ANYTHING. The whole site runs on a script. And you IDIOTS are like an army of zombies doing what he commands while he lives like a king.

Before this is over….there will be NO payment processing for file lockers and other pirate sites.
Then all you clueless parasites will realize that without money….there will be no pirate sites.

I hope you all end up in jail. Because that’s where your sorry asses belong.

You are delusional if you think that money is the only drive behind file sharing. You need to lighten up and stop taking life so seriously. Things are what you make them, and problems are only problems if you allow them to be.

I think this website and others like it are the ones that should be taken down. Witch hunts are never good for anyone and should be left in the past. Most people do not seem to realize legitimate content owners and uploaders are being punished just as much as pirates.

i think it’s a good thing to try stop cp in general.
if you want to fight against piracy in internet, than good luck, don quijote.
you won’t ever win this fight. wait, there is one chance to win: destroy the internet.

everyone knows that filesharing is illegal. but filesharing existed long before the internet was born. right now it’s the most public way to share. as long as the internet exists it will be used for sharing. and your actions won’t take down any major file lockers. so in the end it’s like fighting windmills.

so have fun to piss off some users and get blamed and get offended several times.
i think by the end of the year, this bloag and all actions will be history.

Every file host is involving in piracy.
Search anything on filestube and you will find 1st links of rapidgator, uploded, turbobit etc.
So, stop blaming bitshare.
If you wants to do something good, comlain about those lunks to dmca etc.

Otherwise, I will take care of you as you who who am I.

‘comlain’? ‘lunks’? ‘Otherwise, I will take care of you as you who who am I’?

Perhaps if you paid for something you’d realise it has value. Why not start with English lessons?

wtf is the point of this? all you did was make a bunch of allegations against bitshare and then post a bunch of screenshots of bitshare talking about their affiliate program (which pretty much EVERY company online has)

not once did they promote piracy in any of the images you included…
