    Just had a guy ask me to design for a pirate DVD site

    Which I wont do.

    I said no. He persisted. I said no. Anyways ... what would everyone else say?

    I don't want to be involved in that kind of site, even at a design stage.

    Thoughts?

                              Like you said, it's only in the design stage. The design isn't illegal, it's the content. If he paid good money, I would have done it.

                                                  Do you know him personally? You'd have to be an idiot to tell someone you don't know that you are about to do something illegal.

                                                      your willing to assist him in getting his illegal site off the ground... his site takes money out of my pocket.

                                                      that makes you an accomplice.

                                                          I don't know the guy and he didn't tell me it was illegal until he showed me the blurb he wanted on the site ...

                                                          DVD's that aren't even in US Theatres ... etc etc...

I think you saying no to design a site is bad business on your part.. but as a business owner you have the right to choose what you design and what you do not design... just like wal mart.. they chose not to sell FHM mag and STUFF mag but they still sell guns that kill so tell me.. what is right and what is wrong...

I think you saying no to design a site is bad business on your part.. but as a business owner you have the right to choose what you design and what you do not design... just like wal mart.. they chose not to sell FHM mag and STUFF mag but they still sell guns that kill so tell me.. what is right and what is wrong...
                                                                                  Buying guns is legal in the USA .... but buying pirated movies is illegal. Is it wise for me to have my name, Twisted Illustration, associated with an illegal DVD site? I think it's completely different.

                                                                                  I don't think it was bad business. Sure, if you wanna earn a quick buck, doing jobs like this is fine. But I think the Twisted Illustration name means something and I have long term plans that extend far beyond the adult webmaster clients list ...

                                                                                  But your view proves that people would happily do this kind of thing. So it's interesting to say the least.

                                                                                                              If you are someone like me who makes a living from selling my personal videos, then it's not real cool when someone steals them and makes the same money while I do all the work.

                                                                                                              Save your self righteousness -- if it were your videos you would be pissed too.

Rip it and then quickly make an exact template. Agree to do the site and in one hour deliver the ripped template. What's he going to say at that point, "hey you stole this design from that other site" Just say there's nothing wrong with stealing someone else's work and demand payment.

I think you saying no to design a site is bad business on your part.. but as a business owner you have the right to choose what you design and what you do not design... just like wal mart.. they chose not to sell FHM mag and STUFF mag but they still sell guns that kill so tell me.. what is right and what is wrong...

                                                                                                                              I think some people would have responded differently if someone had asked you to do a design for a site that was pirating their content.

                                                                                                                              What you did was a good thing.
                                                                                                                              Few people in this industry can see past the quick money and make good decisions. That is why this industry is filled with people who lie cheat and steal.

                                                                                                                              Now if he had bought you a drink at a show then of course you should have done the design. Otherwise you would not be considered a top not guy by the scumbags of the industry.

Rip it and then quickly make an exact template. Agree to do the site and in one hour deliver the ripped template.

I think you saying no to design a site is bad business on your part.. but as a business owner you have the right to choose what you design and what you do not design... just like wal mart.. they chose not to sell FHM mag and STUFF mag but they still sell guns that kill so tell me.. what is right and what is wrong...

Those that advocate it being just a business decision and, in fact a bad one, to refuse this work, needs to reconsider. It's illegal to sell pirated videos. It's also illegal to sell CP. Would that just be simply a business decision not to design a site for them as well or is it just certain illegal sites that are subject to the "it's just business" decision making process?

                                                                                                                                                                                                      Illegal is Illegal. Don't support it.
