I have NEVER mailed. I have NEVER spammed. The affiliates that promote me, have done so for a LONG time and continue to do well. I'm the "little" guy, not in the bro circle... so nobody really gives a 2 shits. That's fine. I have never really cared much about it. I know for a fact that I'm in this by myself. But, to see someone blatantly support the very essence of what is wrong with this business is just fucked up. The good thing about it is that, when the time comes and the and these sites have to answer for themselves in court, their association will be clear.
If your knowingly benefiting from the traffic created by stolen content from others you are no better than the original thieves. Simple as that.

Actions like this do not allow red tube to continue on, they would continue on either way. That's the point.
And since you haven't mailed and own your own content, then you would fit into that 1% spot. You still can't complain what others choose to do with something they own.
For "years" I have put my content on newsgroups and forums, does that mean I support theft? After all they have stolen content/products? If I screw with password trade traffic, convert my leaks into sales - traffic produced from password sites, irc, groups, ect? Do I continue to support GFY when its users post copyrighted pictures or like in the buy sell forum, people selling other companies scripts?
You starting to see the pattern?
