Companies like XPics that stacked charges on to credit cards and made it impossible to cancel caused a lot of damage, but that damage lessens year by year as more people turn 18 and more people get their first credit card.

Our business is quite dynamic, so I don't think you can put the blame squarely on one person's shoulders. Damage that someone caused 6, 7, 8 years ago isn't very relevant to the industry as it stands now.

It would make for sense to put the blame on "movements" that have been around for a while. Examples would be:

- The TGP movement, not only for helping flood the net with free porn but also for squashing more sensible and profitable promotion methods such as TGP2.

- The spam movement, for flooding inboxes and wasting system/network resources with billions of ads.

- The malicious spyware movement, for making users wary to surf porn sites as well as for jacking sales from legit webmasters.

etc.
