While I support the fight against piracy. I don't see the removal of piracy as a great boost to our industry, minor boost maybe.
And this shows you why. Pornrip hardly features. Same with filesonic and Oron. All 3 of them don't have the traffic Pornhub has and the top Tube was Xvideos.
How many of those on site ripping sites are there only for porn?
Then assuming these piracy sites get taken out, how many will migrate back to paying for porn and how many to the countless free porn sites, to not spend money?
Still SOPA needs to be passed and these sites and Paypal and advertisers on them need to be taught a lesson.
On a side issue. How profitable is it for a person, who we can call gallerygideon. To rip content, upload it to these piracy sites and get paid for downloads?
This isn't about freedom or any thing else they want to claim, it's about money. Like Paypal, it's motivated by money. Let's get this idea up and running. Ignore the negative posters and see if dragging Paypal into the limelight will have some effect.
