More and more "content" is being given away in every kind of market. From free online video games that sell advertising within, to music and movies and porn.

When it comes to the point that people can effectively monetize this kind of traffic, there won't be so much theft. When thousands of tube sites are looking to license content and fewer paysites are, who do you think the content producers are going to sell to?

Witness television if you will. It costs more and more to advertise each year, and the delivery to targeted audience is less and less each year. As more and more people migrate to online and streaming entertainment, so too will the advertising dollars.

As for making something and having it stolen, no that has not so much been a problem for me yet. On this point we don't disagree though. Theft is wrong, and I don't advocate nor support anyone stealing yours or anyone elses content. This however is a symptom that always emerges. At first movie gallery, tgp, mgp, etc. webmasters were stealing content too. Now paysites give it to them free for promotion. This is the sort of evolution I mean.
I can see some of your points, I'm not closed minded. This is porn,something that was sold under counters, in stores with blackened windows. Its not a mainstream TV show, I don't think governments will let this model live long. Who knows time will tell.
