Adapt and thrive.
Yeah the rules of engagement have changed.

- TGPs were giving away limited amounts of porn and advertising paysites
- MGPs were giving away 30 second movies and advertising paysites
- Kazaa was giving away full movies but it was somewhat inconvenient, more techy and slow to download. I doubt as many US ppl are using Kazaa anymore after the lawsuits.
- 95% of passwords sites were operated by affiliates and programs and the passwords were limited, demos or expired. Sparta & similar programs kinda nuked the whole sharing thing.

Now Rapdishare/Megaporn/Megarotic are giving away full DVD movies, full paysite movie rips, full paysite rips and are upselling their own memberships. How exactly do you adapt to that?

Let me paint a different picture. If Burgerking decided to start giving away burgers that they stole from Wendy's, what could McDonald's to prevent their business from falling apart.
