Many programmers think if it can be done they can do it. for instance how many listening to music on the Internet are buying it? Funny in a business that sells a license to enjoy content on one hand, some will download it and listen to it themselves for free.

The problem is not going to go away, unless 2257 is applied with real effectiveness on a world wide basis. So the problem is here to stay. Do you think sites with 40 poor videos add to the problem or help solve it?
IMO if paysites offered enough good content the surfer might be more willing to get out his credit card. You can't wave a magic wand and remove free content, you can make the product you're selling more appealing.

The market for "little girls fucking" is tiny. Teens of an age that reminds the viewer of girls in his college, high school is enormous.

Very few of them make enough money to give up the day job, but it's the resources we as an industry devote to them that does the real harm.
