The problem is this. Surfers, the general public, gen x, gen y, and all freaking surfers on the web have embraced these media methods as the way they seek and find information. Can we change that? No. Many people hated TGP and MGP when they first came on strong because it gave away too much free content, people swore up and down it would die, blah blah blah. Then, it became more legitimate... programs started PROVIDING galleries for people to post... they almost build an entire affiliate business model based on it. The progression from fad to institution happens very quickly, and like it or not, we are not going to be able to change that fact. We can c and d every single site that has our content, and spend every waking hour policing the entire span of the internet to find people violating our copyrights. We're simply not going to accomplish it.
Life gives you lemons, make lemonade. There are ways that we as an industry can adapt this tool to our use, like we used to in the past. The adult industry was at the FOREFRONT of adapting new tools to our use to make money. Seems like all we do now is fight, yell, scream and bicker about these changes like a bunch of old women at the church picnic. There are better solutions, other options, and much more useful things we can do with our time that do involve a happy medium. It just means we have to get off our collective asses and figure it out like we did in the past, that's all.
