Warez Download Site OneDDL Calls It Quits Citing Legal Concerns

Popular direct links download site OneDDL has announced its immediate closure. The site, which has been around for the best part of seven years, is the latest casualty in the ongoing cyberlocker and linking controversy. What was once a legal gray area – the indexing and linking of copyright works – has now become a matter of black and white, the site’s owner reports.

With the rise and rise of cheap hosting with masses of available bandwidth and endless cloud storage, cyberlocker hosting sites have become the weapon of choice for many file-sharers.

Of course, in January the cyberlocker market had a rude awakening in the form of the Megaupload raids, and ever since the release scene has been shuffling around and reorganizing. Several file-hosting sites decided to call it quits and with their demise many so-called indexing ‘release’ sites couldn’t find the strength to carry on.

Some, however, such as the hugely popular Rlslog.net, carried on regardless but in the last 24 hours perhaps the biggest indexing/release site casualty of 2012 has been announced.

OneDDL, a site that in one form or another has been around for the past seven years, has decided to call it quits. The announcement comes as quite a surprise, since only 24 hours ago the site was still posting popular US TV shows and movies. The fact that it did so regularly has not been lost on the studios.

The site has operated two domains (OneDDL.com and OneDDL.eu) since Google started logging rightsholder takedown requests against the site in May 2011. During that time Google has received 544 takedowns, of which 356 came from NBC Universal.

Although OneDDL have offered no concrete information, between the lines of their shutdown statement reads a familiar story.

“The legality of websites, such as ours, has always been a rather grey area. I had believed that this ambiguity would work to our advantage and originally, that is what lawyers told us (yes, we went to see lawyers),” says the site owner.

“Lately however, the landscape has changed, and it appears the grey is gradually becoming black and white, unfortunately not in our favour.”

OneDDL’s owner continues by stating that the site always operated within the law by responding to takedown requests from copyright holders, but that even that couldn’t save the site.

“For some people, this is simply not enough,” he adds.

When contacted by TorrentFreak, the site’s owner would not be drawn on the exact reasons for the shutdown. As usual though, the Internet rumor mill is churning with stories of the site being “under investigation” and threats from US entertainment companies and their UK proxies. We have been unable to confirm any of the claims.

What seems completely certain is that from a downloading perspective OneDDL is no more. That has saddened the site’s considerable userbase – Alexa has OneDDL ranked as the 4,419th most popular site in the world – but perhaps inevitably the main discussion point in the site’s goodbye statement has quickly turned from farewells into where to find OneDDL alternatives.

    • puddipuddi

      meh, the further they drive us underground the better.  I stick with private torrent sites that aren’t high on the alexa rankings.  Small user base doesn’t = slow speeds.  Small user bases saturated with seedboxes = same speeds I would get from cyberlockers.

      Don’t say they’re too hard to get into, you aren’t trying hard enough.  There are thousands of low key torrent sites out there, just ask around your circle of freinds…

      • http://profiles.google.com/zerianis10 Christopher Kidwell

        Actually, from some estimates, you are more likely to have a problem on private torrent sites than other sites because they keep so much information about who seeded what, how long and how much.

      • Robert

         no need to ask the circles, private sites hurt bittorrent, if i want something I search for it, I do not go joining sites to find it or download it. Private = asshole I’m better than you mentality. open sharing is caring. fuck the mpaa, fuck private torrent tracker sites, you can be anon on bittorrent without being on a private tracker if that is your goal

    • Glib

      You think so? If you want something, how hard is it to find?  Does it take you more than 5 seconds?  That’s definitely not a “winning” strategy.

      Basically, the **AA crew are hemorrhaging cash faster than they are hemorrhaging our options.  Basically, which one will hit the point where they’re not longer viable first?  At present, given that laws have no real effect on P2P, I’d say P2P has about 10-15 years EASY; at least until IPv6 is a requirement where banning a specific machine will become possible.  As well, P2P gets stronger every year as the world’s bandwidth increases; 10 years ago, my personal 50MBit connection I have was IMPOSSIBLE to get up here in Canada … now
      I pay $40 / month for it … the equivalent of about 30 “awesome” connections 10 years ago.  I also have two 250MBit connections that are like $300 / mo each for my building’s tenants; those are up AND down … 5 years ago my University didn’t have that much bandwidth.

      The MAFIAA have about 10 years at their current trajectory, with not many good options to fix their problem.  Thing is, once the physical sales die off fully (when retail stores shut down, about 4 years from now I’d guess), the digital sales guys (iTunes et. al) will have pretty much infinite bargaining power and that’ll quickly bias the cash to the new middle men.  So, the “cash from digital sales” will stop increasing, and no amount of legislation is going to fix that as the nail will be in the coffin.

      People love to say “it’s like a hydra; cut off one head, 4 more appear” or whatever, but that’s pretty untrue.  However, availability is definitely increasing, though number of sites isn’t.  The thing is, sites like TPB could EASILY make a “how to make a site like TPB”, complete with good instructions on how to keep yourself safe.  They’re the best at it on the Internet, and they have the money now (assuredly) to rebuild should a catastrophe happen (that doesn’t include hardware plundering).  Scalable sites that are smart keep on living, benefiting from the pruned landscape.  Much like a big corporation, the parasitic fees of running a site are already being shouldered by sites like TPB, additional traffic is just gravy.

      Until there is some magical way of finding the physical location of machines quickly and without any accountability (e.g. without letting the datacenter know you’re coming), rerouting everything before the next PC in the chain is found is way too easy.  Imagine having the chain of routers something like Cairo, Melbourne, then Toronto; go to Cairo, find out that machine is taking to another in Melbourne.  Friend at datacenter tells you the 5-0 showed up.  Wipe Melbourne machine, build another in Zimbabwe, build another in the Maldives; re-config. ~7 seconds of downtime for that specific connection.

      If you made it illegal to reroute traffic, THEN it’d be possible, but that’s essentially impossible.  Making network translation illegal would be a hilarious attempt.

      • Gargamel

        The sites he is referring to are invite only and they are all seedbox hosted, usually from people directly from the scene.

        No I won’t invite you, seeing as your post was just big rambling pile of repertoire bull$hit, people like you belong on the TPB. Stay there.

        • netgrazer

          Wow, you’re 1337. I wish I was cool like you.

          Their relative obscurity won’t save your precious seedboxes though, the future is in publicly accesible darknets.

      • Guest33

        Even if network translation over the internet could be made illegal, that would require a global enforcement regime, as long as offline networking of computers is technically possible, sharing can’t be stopped.

        Another variation of your proposal is a form of offline onion routing over sneakernet. i encrypt data for recipient in my next city, but I mail the usb disk to a foreigner in Pakistan, who in turn encrypts it, and mails it to another remailer, who finally reroutes it to the final destination.
        If sharing over the internet becomes impossible or dangerous, using old postal mail is still an option. If the government becomes too aggressive in its data retention policy, and we have such in the EU, I foresee a point at which anonymous sneakernet sharing is developed. If the government needs to know what is in the packet, it must use manual labor on opening, analyzing and if necessary force me to decrypt the contents.

        In the UK you are jailed if you refuse to decrypt your disk on government request. But a decryption mandate is only workable if the number of suspects refusing to cooperate is very low.

        Prisons are expensive and only a deterrent because most people don’t understand the limit to government spending. If everyone presented with a decryption order refused to cooperate, the tax system would break.

      No, entertainment companies can’t win the battle.

      If winning means stopping piracy, the goal is unaffordable.

      However, the copyright lobby can  externalize the enforcement  coersing  third parties to internalize the costs if the government lets them get away with it.

      Fortunately we are an economic downturn, and the government can’t afford printing money to prop up a dying business model.

      As long as the externalization of enforcement is popular an can be hidden from the taxpayer, everything is well and good, but as soon as the enforcement costs hits a certain visible threshold spilling over to the police, courts and civil administration, copyright enforcement suddently becomes a political liability.

      Cracking down on public and semicommercial piracy facilitating agregators aren’t yet highly  unpopular. a majority of The public has largely been brainwashed to think that large scale non-commercial copying is theft.

      Piracy will survive, but I think that we must think over how to deliberately increase the enforcement costs.

      Small networks of peer to peer sharers based on a need to know cell structure is the future of file sharing.

      If the government must spend x amount of taxpayer money on closing  a warez forum consisting of 5000 users, and the cost is approximately the same for cracking a forum with a user base consisting of 50-200, logic dictates that there should instead  be 50 separate forums resulting in 50x enforcement costs for the government.

      Assuming that the costs are fixed, the  minimal enforcement actions  can be split into different stages  — subpoenas to internet service providers, payment processors, surveillance of the forum, gathering of IP addresses and a lot of manual hours spent on manual surveillance, physical house searches, interrogation  and forensic investigation of the most prolific contributors.

      Our goal should be the demoralization and stigmatization of any copyright enforcement. If you are a police forensics expert and your superior orders you to investigate internet piracy rather than going after fishers, hackers and child pornographers, you are likely to feel let down and either quit your dayjob or speak out against the elevation of intellectual property over crimes with real victims.

      Sharing over a ddl forum is for better and for worse perceived as morally different from sharing with a small circle of friends.

      If the circle of friends shares different forums and small communities,  all the files can travel very fast from community to community.

      If the government cracks one community, there is time for the others to act. Barring the situation where the government arrest all members of one community preventing the news leaking out is impossible.

      We must seriously rethink how enforcement costs and manual workhours inpact the eefficiency of the copyright paradigm.

      A rule of thumb is that everything forcing the government or the copyright lobby to expend manual labor,be it transportation, cross-jurisdictional  requests, physical house searches and even interrogation of children below the age of criminal responssibility constitutes an extra burden piling on the overall enforcement costs.

      We should set up a rating system for what government actions in the copyright enforcement context are most expensive and politically burdensome and simply incorporate any of these in a darknet plan.

      “Entertainment companies are ultimately going to win this battle whether we like it or not :(”

      We certainly won’t win w/ that defeatest attitude of yours.

      The reason why the MAFIAA is fighting so hard is simple; an animal always fights hardest when his back is against the wall, the MAFIAA’s back is against the wall, look @ the signs.

      OneDDL caved in, The PirateBay, IsoHunt, Megaupload, & probably a lot more than we know are fighting back & slowly chipping @ the MAFIAA’s bullshit; additionally, more & more judges, & a few ISPs, are realizing that the MAFIAA is spreading lies & using extortion to get money from us.

      It may seem that the MAFIAA is winning the war, but they are not; as the saying goes “if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen”, that’s what OneDDL did.

      They do nothing wrong by linking to downloads. I can find the same downloads using any search engine and they still link despite it being childs play to remove them from the results. They just going after oneddl because it’s a small fish. Taking on Google or Microsoft in court is suicide so they ‘ignore’ that angle completely.

    Although this is sad it is a fact of life today that the copyright monopolists are fighting for there lives, we knew they were going to fight hard. We as the customer are winning , we are drowning them in sites that supply links to everything we could ever want.

    SO it takes a few minutes to find a site that will supply the links we all want but  the sites supplying those links are growing every day.

     Yes we have lost a really good site and will morn it , but the person running the site has to look after themselves and if this prevents them from being sued and there servers seized i support them fully.

    Who knows they may find a way to start up again under another name and last another 7 years. :)

    The one thing i cant understand is how an industry that demonizes its customers has actually lasted this long, surly more and more people are refusing to buy things like cd’s and dvd’s.

    The one thing i do know though is that they are finished in the long term, when the youngsters who have grown up never buying a single cd or song or movie become the politicians who make the laws.

    Again just hink of this whole thing as a sad loss but a small loss in the overall fight .

    • Kat

      i buy tons of cd’s and dvd’s. I buy them used. I do not feel bad about it because it helped the economy and created jobs/keeps money flowing. If I wanted that money to go to mafiaa, I would have went to a store that sells new dvd’s and cd’s and bought it that way. I also buy lots of fan memorabilia and products to support the artist. Often buying used, you see items that you would not normally see new anyways.
      recycle, reduce, re-use.

      Mafiaa’s version of this is
      “buy,buy throw away, buy toss, buy, buy, don’t recycle, toss it, we are greedy that way.

  • Don’t have a cow, man !

    The biggest problem with cyberlocker hosting sites are  the sites themselves.
     With their slow ass downloads for free users.
    And their file size restrictions for free users.

     Their ponderous limits are superfluous , unfortunately there are copious amounts of links to these types of slow ass cyberlockers.

     We need more cyberlockers for those of us who are  parsimonious in our endeavors towards downloading.

    Premium links ? Sure. But it’s more trouble then just str8 downloading.

  • Bigbox30

    At OneDDL we tried to be the most professional it was possible for us to be. We were very good at what we did and a big part of me thinks that that was our downfall.

    as a user i would say:
    -pick a file host and stick to it. don’t pimp your users
    -if you start with a show you got ta finish it
    -try and put boob in all your graphics

    big thanks to everyone who helped with the graphics

    I’m sure one day you will find out why the site was closed and when you know you will understand. we did everything we could for as long as we could.

    Until then long live her memory and God Save The Queen.

    Seems a bit strange to me – big pay off to close down and make these comments?

    Either way, the shit pot movie and music makers will love t his – it will “prove” to them they are doing a good job and that everyone else should be afraid.

    I want to give these people more and more money every day… yea right, RIAA can kiss my arse – im buying less and less because they are dicks.

    For each site going down two new must appear. Offshore hostings, offshore domains, offshore domain privacy. But people must be supportive, willing to donate, willing to help with expertise and willing to  not give up when scared. 
    And this will go for, at least, as long as our US friends realise that they put too much money on their movie studios etc, which in their turn try to bring them on their knees.

    I operate another old linking site, and it’s still grey depending on where you’re hosted. Many countries have no definite laws about linking, thus you have to have a contingency plan in place should the chosen country pass new laws. Usually, you have a pretty good heads up if you follow legal blogs for that country, so again, it’s just a cat and mouse game. However I can understand that it becomes a hassle, but that’s part of the game!
