Maybe you weren't around, or didn't make avs sites... I lost over $4000 due to Thehun and Al4a.
There's a BIG fucking difference to deeplinking a fucking gallery or sharing a whole members-area. While the argument "they should have had better protection" holds true in both cases, there's pretty much nothing a guy can do to torrent links, they're up there and out of your control. When you got an AVS gallery deeplinke, you could just rename that folder and redirect to your 'sales page'.

Also, I do understand most of you are in the states. But deeplinking to a non-protected directory is not illegal. But it IS illegal to download or seed torrents with unlicensed material in finland, and finnish trackers have been raided and shut down. Sweden apparently has different laws, and so do the states (I assume?)
