We all know the great successes that the movie and music business have had fighting piracy. There was Napster, and, umm, that women they sued for 250,000... and umm, Napster.

And alienated their customer base while doing it. I haven't bought a CD since they shut down napster.

I do now buy stuff from Itunes and other sources that let me have that instant gratification and choose the cuts I like.

Without more controls and less the freedom the fight against piracy will always be uphill.

Make it illegal to advertise on a site that clearly promotes the theft of any content and the piracy issue will diminish. Those who promote sharing (STEALING) probably will not be very keen to put up sites they can't profit from. I bet they won't let you advertise if you don't pay or would be furious if you stole their traffic.

Also make it ISPs responsible for who is uploading content. It would be simple to do, if you're not approved you can't upload. A law that was written to protect hosts has been used by pirates to protect them. How does anyone know if the content was uploaded by someone independent of the site or someone employed by the site?

HP do you think theft of porn is cool then?

You need to come up with proof that I did not keep my word or you're just talking.

Yes I only respond to threads that interest me.

I have never begged Tubes for promotion, another lie.

Prove it please. Or is giving them clips begging in your book?
