I did similar experiment with playergames... and it failed...they got the updated post (the link + the images)

I totally agree on the "time consuming".
Good idea on the password protect.

 

How long did you wait to change the info?

I made sure that my post was on that site before updating and deleting everything.
Still not updated by them. Posted June 8. Deleted old, uploaded new June 9.

I going with the password for now. Just wondering how long before I should change my "master" password?

Don't know if preventing them from "reposting" our links is viable, but I'm going to make it a challenge for them to get the info in them.

WTH!!!!! Now they not only grab all the releases, they even posted this discussion as well as the Ray Bradbury - R.I.P. post!!!!

Even all the contests (i.e. Sherlockx and Guy) appear on there.

How are we going to stop this madness?



I feel like doing this!!

I KNOW! I posted that earlier in one of my post here in the thread that I've been copied word for word.

David_James posted a book @ 7:17PM. Out of curiosity I checked at 7:30PM. The book was already there.

And now, an experiment.


A Wanted Man: A Jack Reacher Novel
Reacher is back! A Wanted Man is a new masterpiece of suspense—from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Child.

Four people in a car, hoping to make Chicago by morning. One man driving, eyes on the road. Another man next to him, telling stories that don’t add up. A woman in the back, silent and worried. And next to her, a huge man with a broken nose, hitching a ride east to Virginia.

An hour behind them, a man lies stabbed to death in an old pumping station. He was seen going in with two others, but he never came out. He has been executed, the knife work professional, the killers vanished. Within minutes, the police are notified. Within hours, the FBI descends, laying claim to the victim without ever saying who he was or why he was there.

All Reacher wanted was a ride to Virginia. All he did was stick out his thumb. But he soon discovers he has hitched more than a ride. He has tied himself to a massive conspiracy that makes him a threat—to both sides at once.

In Lee Child’s white-hot thriller, nothing is what it seems, and nobody is telling the truth. As the tension rises, the twists come fast and furious, keeping readers guessing and gasping until the explosive finale.

Let's see how long before that one is up.

OMG! I've been wanting this book for forever!

Ok, here is the weak point in the password idea. If you click on your name under the "illegal" post, it takes you straight to your profile (here on Mobilism). And guess what? Your password is there for everyone to see.

We'll have to try and hide it in such a way that it only shows up here and not wherever the bots post our releases.

Any ideas?

Anything to "inconvenience" them! Might not be able to stop them, but I'm gonna try my darnedest to slow them down!


I playing around with something Bo and Phex came up with.

Give me a little time and I'll let you know how it works out.


Has anyone tried setting up multiple accounts, under different e-mails, with the file sharing sites? Say, every month? That way if they delete your account you only loose the links for that month.

Just wondered.

password = gotcha

Highlight after =

The scary thing is that ALL releases are now posted on that site! Movies, ALL Software, Books, Discussions, Anouncements, etc. Seem that only VIP section hasn't been invaded.

Give 'em time!

Any one else got any other ideas????

Yeah, I did wait till my post was on that site. Though I did not wait for a whole day.... maybe that makes a difference.

Yeah .. not all that surprised.... because everything that is publicly available is susceptible.

No, not just ALL releases... also ebook requests
I think something needs to be done on the server side, within mobilism.org.
Can we make a request to keep our "profile" private at least? eg. viewable for ppl who've had at least 5 post counts... or at least make it only viewable after login.

Well the irritating thing is that even though I paid for some of the books ive posted thus really losing my investment by posting here (isn't a problem, I enjoy it here). It's like a total profit loss having my posts and mirrors, mirrored onto another site. Then reading that my private parts are being exposed that's like the paparazzi snapping pictures of a celebrities new born baby right?
