And that the owner of the tubes, torrents, and the forums whose specialty is listing them are getting pre-paid spots from you know who and lining their pockets off of my work all in the guise of "free" porn. I further tell them what it does to us and our bottom line and how if it continues it will eventually stop any new porn from being produced.
And you know what? Everytime I've done that it worked.
The guys on the forums who were doing it to me not only stopped...but they are like a new network of guys who write me and tell me when they see our shit out there.
They were pissed!
They THOUGHT they were sticking it to "the man" by getting free porn. But when they found out they were really lining a thiefs' pockets while hurting Claudia-Marie financially...it pissed 'em off and they changed their position.
I've often thought about attempting some kind of "surfer education" on my sites...but I don't want to basically give those forums, torrents, and tubes any free advertising by talking about them.
Your smart and its true they think they are part of a movement .
