So then let's call it even, I was just fucking with you.
There's the kind of pompous, humourless asshole who can think just fine just as soon as someone tells him what to. Obviously you're not it. But there's plenty on GFY.

You can't fight technology, really. Honest. Look at DRM. After what, 20 years and billions sony&comp put into some working form of DRM, there's still people cracking two year projects in two weeks solo. Sometimes the stronger man is he who quits pissing in the wind first.
All the recent attention on the boards resulted in a bunch of people that
are ready to change that and take some form of action but to be honest
with all the noise we've made I'm still shocked how hard it is to get people
mobilized.......at times I wonder how nuts I am for convincing people who
their business is hurt by this to do something........most seem to have the
idea that it's a lost battle before they even try to do something about it.

Showing the public and the authorities we care is equally important in getting
results than the amount of sites we're able to get closed. Showing we feel
responsible and that we're taking action towards bad effects that are the
result of any form of abuse of our business will get us support at some point
instead of more legislation that hurts our business and is created and isn't
made to ban out porn as a good responsible industry but as an effective
way to get rid of the problems that arise from not being able to keep
our content safe and accessible from anyone except our paying clients.

May well be right.

I'm confident that a lot of negative legislation is the direct result of things
like torrents and free porn because kids and people who aren't interested
in our products are confronted and harassed with it.......coz anyone
can access porn through these channels.....without any verification of
their age, without having to pay and regardless if the nature of the content
is legal.........
2257 is imho for a big part about this......coz if it was just to get rid of the
adult industry as a whole there's a lot better things you can come with to
accomplish that.......governments mostly don't consider our industry as
the biggest problems.......but the negative effects that our business causes
and for doing too little to control it ourselves. Apart from the financial damage
this causes to ourselves we seem to forget about the problems this causes
to children and anyone who doesn't want to get confronted with anything
our business provides.........

Yea, this sounds sensible.

So you all can keep bashing every initiative that people take to improve our
situation as a whole coz I really don't care......I know that whatever I come
up with is better than doing nothing........apart from the fact that bashing
only shows that you have no interest in this business coz if you do then
this and every other thing that's related to our industry also affect you.

Let me say it plain. I'm not bashing the initiative per se. I'm bashing the people that go to slay the dragon, find a cockroach instead and are all ready to celebrate.
