Why Piracy Pays (Thanks to PayPal)
This is one way FILESONIC pays:
Get up to $35 per 1000 downloads. We pay for ALL countries!
This program lets you earn money when your files are downloaded. We count and pay for downloads from all countries (please see the grid below). If you take the time to properly analyze this payout system, you will find that we are the most optimized PPD program amongst all file hosts!

Filesonic also pays a commission to its affiliates every time another internet user joins in order to download large (illegal) files more quickly.
Filesonic claims that it takes copyright infringement seriously, but in the 3 years I have been following one particular pirate, that pirate has never been removed.
