Piracy is a problem, but it is not THE problem. We've had people stealing our content from day one.

There's a certain amount of people out there who aren't going to pay for porn no matter what you do. There are also people who are going to not only rip you off but they're going to share with their friends. These people are not significantly impacting anyone's income, they've always been here even during the days where money was falling from the sky.

No sir...the problem is what has happened to that segment of people who WILL pay for porn. Or I should say WERE willing to pay for porn.

The industry has conditioned them to not pay. If they DO whip out that credit card, the vast majority of companies left standing will milk that card for every penny they can ring out of it.

Now when these guys do discover what's being shared for free, they're gone forever. The content I can find right now with simple searches of videos or images on google is superior to what 90% of the card slamming paysites deliver.

And why is it feasible for all of that movie content to be delivered for free? It's made possible by the money from the same people who slam cards.

An honest business that wants to exist with clean hands outside of that entire mess has to operate in what is probably a 5% or less crack in the business. That crack is where you'll find people producing good honest original targeted content, delivering it at a fair price exactly as advertised. And they are increasingly having to contain themselves to underserved niches that thieves do not understand and bust their ass to find the users seeking it out and earning their trust.
