When they upload the entire members area and you waste your time hunting them down, there will be nothing you can do.

You can't defeat it, the best thing to do is focus your time and effort on a project to generate more income.
Ok so whats more likely to happen in these two scenarios?

A. A bank puts their money on the counter. No security guards, no bank vault. Tellers and employees are rarely around leaving the money unattended.

B. A bank has a vault security guards, cameras, money is kept locked up unless taken out to give to a customer.

Which bank is more likely to lose money due to theft?

Sure bank B can be robbed. They can come in with guns and force them to open the vault and get the money. Absolutely it can lose money.

Bank A has no safeguards. They get pissed off and cry and whine about people stealing their money to the cops and form a committee to figure out ways to go after the owners of other stores that receive the stolen money for their goods. lol

Seriously it gets ridiculously old to hear people repeat over and over again that people CAN still steal content. EVERYONE friggin knows that duh. The problem right now is for 4.95 I can go rip some of the biggest paysites on the web overnight. Then I can upload them to all the free sites, and there is not SHIT anyone can do about it. Why? No accountability. What most people aren't getting is this. The people uploading this content are generally nice people that dont realize what they are doing. Its not some band of Robin Hoods merry men. Alot of this content gets out due to things like forums with reputation systems and getting points awarded, thanks of the community etc.

Right now they do it cause there is no way to really get caught. 80% wont bother going through all the work of removing watermarks that identify them. This would keep honest people honest.
