Babylon or B4b1l0n which one ?

[joselito575]

Hello well this is something has been going through my mind over and over when you are gonnna share a file let's say "Babylon 8" .what would be the name you would use for the file :"Babylon 8 "or "b4b1lon8 " and why ?

To put this b4b1lon8 will be more difficult for the filehost to remove it ?

The filehost usually won't search through filenames looking for copyright infringing material.

The way it works is someone sends a DMCA notice to the filehost and gives them the link of the file which is infringing on their copyright. The name of the file really doesn't matter nor does it lead to the link lasting longer.

It doesn't matter what you name the file, as long as they are inside a topic named 'Babylon 8' , they will be deleted.

MD5 hash is how they delete all same/similar files once one certain file is reported
by copyright holder so name doesnt play a big role in the equasion

I tend to change name of the file - say I would put Bbln8 or something
because I believe it has some small effect but MD5 is the real answer to your
question
