It's important to note that youtube has nothing to do with this (which is what I thought when I read the thread title).
For a much better write-up on what this is, why it sucks, and why it's important that this bill doesn't pass, check out the write-up by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) at the link below.

Wow, hadn't heard a thing about this bill until now. Thanks for posting.
After some research I signed the petition. Time to spread the word.

Signed, thanks for the info.

To all devs and xda..

First i want to start by saying im sorry that you all are not understanding what the 5 bucks is for . its hard to find things on the net and in the forums. When i first started i came here to xda i soft bircked my phone from a rom so i asked for help here and got yelled at, called names and told im posting in the wrong room . I didnt know, but still someone could of helped me instead i was made fun of and laughed at for my spelling here at xda . so i went out and found out alot about phones made a couple videos and poof everyone found me ....i was helping so many people, my phone was none stop ringing but i picked up . i helped them out by telling people where to go, how to get what they want was hard so i made a site it was free all day up intill 5 months ago . see the site was coasting me 250 a month that i did not have but people still needed help they tryed to come here but people where mean cuzz where noobs . so thats why at akaskriller.com it coast 5 bucks . everyone knows these roms are free on the net there not paying for the roms there paying for a just cause for helping people in need no matter what . for the roms i put out i say i hacked theme or themed them out . its fun to theme them out and help people ..
so im sorry if u all got it wrong and i give back to the devs that i take the most calls on lol but for real you all stop being silly and saying bad things about me.
and we pay peoples bills that can not ... ask your selfs y do you all care so much what others do for help?

seriously? why hide the roms behind donations then? why not post it freely and market it as a pay support site? why post paid apps for free behind the donation? why not post it all for no donation at all and post a link for 5.00 a month tech support? i'm certain this thread will be locked in no time and look forward to the humiliation headed your way.

I do not accept your apology. You are a fraud. You stole peoples work to make money

it doesn't matter your logic for any of that.
1) you cannot advertise anything that has a registration/paywall on xda, it's against the forum rules (it's the same reason we don't see posts by samfirmware stuff anymore, even though we all know about it)
2) you cannot include links to services/devices you sell (it's fine to tell people of a download mode JIG and even to check ebay or other places, but to point directly to yours is also against the rules)
3) if you don't have the money to run the site, don't run it (why host anything at all beyond a few lightweight html files with explanations)
4) make the donation optional. register for the site for free and then people can donate if they want (hey, sounds an awful lot like what xda is)
5) do you have the permission of the ROM developers to repost their work elsewhere? (especially behind a lazy paywall)
if you can't follow xda's rules, then what do you expect to happen?

What you do is wrong!
1. You host warez on your site.
2. You steal all of out Dev's roms
3. Just link you "subscribers" to xda

Why not use something like forumotion.com to so you don't have to pay?
And the no credits?

This... this is going to get nasty unfortunately.
Be respectable people.

Suck my balls.
@aka , not s15 >.>

see this is xda all you all do is talk bad im sorry but there are no paid apps in site and app brain or 4share.com lol theres all your apps for free ... i tell you all and you dont here me

And the lying about creating a Gingerbread ROM with GPS?

I think the point that most are upset with is that you have done this in a sneaky manner and not asked any dev if it was okay to post their work. For us to put sometimes months into building a better rom and then you to take it change a couple icons or colors and then post it as your own work when you probably wouldn't know a XML from a bml and charge people for "support" which they get here for free. I personally have tried to answer every "noob" that has approached me and not once charged.

Quit trying to front dude. And if you're paying 250 a month for your site that's a joke. Learn the rules before you break them. All youre trying to do now is bend them. Quit taking other devastating work!!

And it appears that most scammers would try to post an apology explaining their situation in order "recreate" their image again.

250? more like 10
Get Godaddy and pay that much.
We don't care you have a crappy website that costs that much.
The not helping? You think its just here? Look at your own forums buddy...
Someone here posted a link to one of your threads where someone asked if OC can be used on all of "your" roms, 1 reply "try it and find out"
Very nice answer?
Everyone here will hate you and probably do, you know why?
YOU STOLE WORK.
and now your trying to make excuses like a 5 year old kid lying about stealing his friends toy car.
Grow some balls kid.

ANONYMOUS response to MEGAUPLOAD shutdown

as you may already know, megaupload was shutdown earlier... read on for further information
According to the Associated Press the worlds largest file-sharing sites, MegaUpload.com, has been shut down. As it stands right now, the website is completely inaccessible.
Federal prosecutors have accused the owners of Megaupload with violating piracy laws, possibly exceeding 500 million dollars in pirated content. Once the 13th most popular website in the world, operating as a free file hosting service for any kind of content, Megaupload.com is potentially gone forever.
Megaupload.com staff claims they were always on top of complaints about material that might have been pirated, but for now the service and the content stored within are gone. Currently, there are no answers available as to whether or not the legitimate content stored there will be released.
For users who had previously used Megaupload, some alternatives to the service are RapidShare, MediaFire, DropBox, or Box.net among others. This story is developing, so expect some additional information soon.

Yes my friend, this is big time indeed. I got on Twitter/@anonops and they are taking everything down. 5600 "operatives" are communicating through irc and systematically striking these sites. I would expect to see something on the national news about it in the morning.
That link that you posted rider has all of Sen. Dodds personal info on it. Sure he is a public figure and there are sites that metacrawl all that info together but its kind of erie that his is posted now with all this going on.

DO NOT CLICK IT
This is how ANONYMOUS works and it will use your computer to ping these sites over and over. It is all over the internet and news agencies now.

[Q] Web sites that really review apps

Hi guys!
Do you know any web sites who write real free reviews about android apps? Not payed reviews, not review exchange, but just honest review of my app, its good and bad sides.
I tried submitting my app - play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.triladroid.gps to all websites, posted in this topic - forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2800333
And from most of them I got an e-mail with suggestions to pay money to get positive review and featuring on their websites. From now on, I just starting to think that it is almost impossible for a developer to get a free honest review on some website.
Maybe some of you know websites who are interested in writing real review for free? Maybe your app was even reviewed on some website?
I will appreciate if you share your experience with me.

We have contacts of editors of over 440 websites that post reviews of Android apps, half of them are international, you can try using our database for promoting your app (we will improve the announcement and send it via email and contact forms using your name and email as a sender, and we will send you a zip with screenshots of contact forms filled with your data).

The question was about free real reviews. What you are proposing is to make a payment for sending proposals to review one's app and then make other payments for those reviews. Maybe your service is really great and saves a lot of time, but one still have to make a great investment.
Unfortunately, i don't know of any site which will make a free real review. There are lots of sites which will post your review for free, but they lack audience who will read it. Others make only paid reviews.

Actually you can disable e-mail notifications from subscribed channels. If you go settings, on the left-hand side you should see E-mail. Clicking on that will let you customize your e-mail notifications so you can easily block notifications from subscribed channels.

Done!
When will the winners be announced?

Mass advertising at its best. What ever happened to simplicity and ONLY having to leave a comment to be entered? Now it's all "subscribe to these certain amount of people" and "like us on Facebook and twitter".
Good luck to whoever enters.

the page views and subs they get plus google adsense on their channel will yield them much more than the cost of a new phone. slick slick slick..
