After the megaupload death in January it seems like the next large filehost has collapsed. Oron.com is no longer availabe worldwide since first of August.

Oron.com was known to be the best online friend for alot of single men as beeing one of the largest hosts for ripped porn, but now they maybe took it too far:
An US American gay porn studio has sued oron to pay 35 million because of DMCA infringements. The sites owners founds have been frozen after this, PayPal quiet their
contracts. Due to their frozen founds it may be possible that the server company of oron (LeaseWeb.com) has canceled their contracts too and simply shut off the page after
July (with no founds, oron cannot pay the bills of course). There is no information about what really caused the shutdown but the above mentioned story makes sense.
There is no notification from oron itself what is happening or what happened or what caused the shutdown. This will piss off really many people again who loose all their
control about their accounts and their payments made. Important is also that oron has stated to work in full cooperation with any authority and will grant full access to user
relevant data to 'solve this situation'. Nothing the users wish to hear I bet. I think this is also a main strike against all the porn blogs and forums out there as all the oron links
are dead from now on (same as with megaupload). I've also heard that they are just switching to a new host but I don't believe that. Oron was walking on the edge for along
time now, maybe too long. I was wondering for a long time that especially this industry is not dealing with their material beeing stolen.

This is quite unfortunate. Oron.com was one of the best sites for downloading... stuff.

[GTAction99]

Oron.com? Never heard of it. (Sorry for the people who frequented this site when it came to downloads, I know your pain, considering MegaUpload went down last year. )

Luckily I download from MediaFire. (If they take this site down, that will mean war .)

[NaidRaida]

I only uploaded some mods for GTA on mediafire and I will continue this way of not uploading/sharing copyrighted material, especially no films, no music, no full games and no porn.
Mediafire is a nice host, you can get full bandwith and you have to pay nothing. The porn/movie/music/games uploaders will realize this someday and this could be the end for mediafire too.
More premium members means profit, more illegal material means more members and this will not stop cause the main goal of the filehosts is profit of course. I think they just want to survive long
enough to make millions. If I would own a filehost I would just do the same. Rip my members off until I get shut down. Who cares? I made millions! Just like Kim Dot Com. A scumbag, but a clever one.

Buy stronger glasses or learn to read: Oron is not a gay porn site, it is just a filehost. It was sued by a gay porn studio.

I've never heard of this site either, but I can't help but wonder why people are stupid enough to believe that a public site that allows uploading and downloading of copyrighted content would ever last. It's like the p2p users of a decade ago managed to get even dumber over time.

As long as megashares still works... We're fine...

@Xcommunicated: Why you're wondering? It's exactly the same story as with MU. The people simply don't care about the DMCA or other things. And they don't care to get caught. There is no other reason. They don't care. As they don't care to drive 100 where 50 is allowed.

I don't think anybody knew about this site but you.

[Dragonjack]

C'mon, you are thirteen years old, almost a real adult, a real man. I bet you know it, like every thirteen year old on this forum knows everything.
The same goes to kiddy Dragonjack, if you don't have anything more to say than 'I don't know this site' then get the f*ck out of this topic or you will get reported for spamming/trolling.

No I'm wondering why they act so surprised once it's gone.

[NaidRaida]

I don't think anybody is surprised. I'm not surprised. They are doing illegal things. They know the consequences which may occur.

[NikoGTA4]

Too bad. It was an useful website... Well to download things... Many things...

[EscoLehGo]

I downloaded some awesome......content from that website, it had proven very valuable to me. Oh well, another one will pop up and I can get my "stuff" from there until it gets shut down too.

[Jacko427]

Too bad I'll miss Oron.com very much
They shoud sue Rapidshare instead of Oron.com and why the f*ck is Rapidshare not taken down???
That site can bitch.

War was supposed to happen when they took down megaupload.

[sivispacem]

There are f*ckloads of (admittedly dodgy) Russian filehosts that show no signs of even being touched by this kind of activity (probably because the are run by people like the Russian Business Network, but never mind)- all we'll see is people transitioning from Western-hosted filesharing sites to those hosted elsewhere, outside the remit of DMCA or other international legislation. Cases in point, Russia and the Ukraine, whose government have absolutely no interest in shutting down the very lucrative criminal enterprises who run their worldwide file hosting sites.

[NaidRaida]

You're right sivi, oron was most likely run by russians (and they obviously give no f*ck about DMCA). But America will also come to them I think.
Right now I'm thinking that the future doesn't look bright for any filehost because they're simply inviting for such infringements. How you wanna control this? Check every upload?
I say in the future there will be no more filehosts like we know them OR there will be only filehosts when the companies and the authorities realize that this system is unstoppable.
Why does the filehost doesn't work in cooperation with the copyright holder? They could share the money the people spend for their premium accounts but they only rip off each other.
The peope want to download files easily without loggin in and paying for each stuff separately, the copyright holder could also benefit from this mentality if they can benefit from the hoster.
If they share copyrighted files, they also should share the money they earn with this sharing. But they are all way to greedy. This means also that there should be no free downloading anylonger.
The copyright holder would probably not accept such idea cause the benfit would be smaller as when they sell their material separately. Like the hoster they actually sued, they're too greedy too.
Again and again and again it's just all about the money. It's the same with the Euro in Europe. People are too greedy and this is causing problems. Nothing else. I can also imagine that copyrights
as we know them will be totally abandoned cause they are no more working in todays society where every total newb can do copyright infringements with two clicks. Does it mean to quiet with any
copyright to get broken? I don't think so. Companies can also earn much money even if they sell their stuff totally free to share or to modify. And people will still buy original author material even if
the same thing is shared somehwere on a Cuban unknown server. Just because it's original. The 'copyright' is also just made to become greedy, isn't that the truth?

What do you think sivi? The future of filehosting: How to fix the copyright issues?

Here is the lawsuit from 'Flava Works' (the studio that sued oron): http://www.xbiz.com/docs/xbiz/news/151999_flava%20works%20v%20oron%20filesonic0712.pdf
This lawsuit also covers Rapidshare, Hotfile, FileServe, FileSonic, i-Filez, Shragle, FileFactory, FileMonster and FilePost. They did not only sued oron as you can read in the lawsuit.
