This is yet another angle on "there's too damned much free porn". And it does bring up a point I never really thought of. Just how much shit has been shot over the last decade that is now out there being passed around with no one protecting the copyright? I'd guess tons upon tons. Much of it just a forgotten failed business model. Others might be aware, but dont want to throw good money after bad to try to enforce the copyright.

If you shoot exclusive content yourself, you know how much effort it takes to watch for it to show up in unauthorized places and then jump thru the legal hoops to smack people around with DMCA. What percent of porn is out there free range now unprotected free to be traded at will??

Cost of entry has killed us on everything by getting so low.

exactly, I know plenty of guys that went belly up, yet sold their catalog to other companies, therefore someone still owns it all

but what about all those companies that didn't take that last deal and just closed up shop and don't even care anymore
