In our quest to remove payment processing from illegal file lockers we often come across sites we call “Enabling Services”. These sites are not file lockers in their own right, but services which allow you to make use of a file locker in a myriad of ways.
One such site is MyDownloader.net. At first glance it looks like a slick and highly professional service, nothing about it seems nefarious. However peek beneath the smooth veneer and you find a perfect example of an “Enabling Service”.
Before we delve into the dark realms of MyDownloader we first need to visit another web site, this is also another kind of enabling service in the form of a directory of illegal downloads. DirtyWarez.com is the aptly names directory listing of all the pirate software, movies, music, porn, tv shows, games and Ebooks that you care to download.
If you look closely at the screen capture you will see one small single ad for MYDOWNLOADER in the right hand column of the site. This is the pathway to one source of finance for the DirtyWarez.com site.
Update:24th July 2012 MyDownloader have lost their Paypal processing. This usually means funds are frozen for 180 days, no withdrawals or transfers are possible.
