The person doing that should offer this tool FREE to any paysite willing to have an ad running in their members area for the non compete upsell.

Cant make this tool cost much, or it should be free. Make it simple so any members area can easily deploy it. Instead of wasting time trying to herd cats and trying to stop what is already released in the wild, work on keeping anything new secure. The ONLY way to stop piracy is to adopt industry wide new secure ways of content distribution.

I dont care how many piracy groups you form or whatever. You wont stop it that way. Like trying to catch fleas with a pair of chopsticks.

Industry wide new secure content distribution methods.

Lets say a company with the initals AFF that has shit loads of money. All the face they may of lost could be regained awfully fast for getting something like that developed. Giving it away free for just a members area upsell.
Their is no cheap solution.. you can't create a cheap solution. The videos must be re-encoded, stored, ect on some serious machines. A few people offer this service at a rip off price.

I don't think we need to create something new, just an honest company that is willing to spend the money and work with our industry to drm our movies. I would pay, per movie, if the price was cheap enough. I wouldn't pay for the DRM machines on my own, so if the price was right, I would use it.


The piracy group is made of dvd production companies that can't figure out why/how to make real money online. They are the same people that blame online for falling dvd sales but waited 10 years to get online. Not the smartest group of minds.
