As far as someone viewing stolen content doing something wrong, not sure I agree that they are the ones doing something wrong. That stigma would lay with the person that stole it, wouldn't it?

The issue comes about when you have a community surrounding the "theft". Ok so lets pretend you are a member of some babe forum etc that on the forum you get reputation for uploading to rapidshare and sharing with the community. So you are a member of some solo girl site. Along comes member gimmegimmeporn and asks for said solo girl vids, pics etc. The site member having never been told they cannot share the content that they paid and downloaded thinks nothing of it to help out his new buddy on the forum. He gets the virtual "high five" via the forum reputation and thinks nothing of it, cause he was NEVER TOLD HE COULDN'T.
Now how many sites out there tell people explicitly that they CANNOT do what they want to witht he content they piad for and downloaded to their hard drive? Ill tell you probably next to none. Why? Because we as an industry have accustomed our customers to
expect to KEEP our content for only a rental fee. Am I stupid here? Do people not realize that we are giving away our content for a one month rental fee?
So anyways that former paysite member now realizes that all he needs to do is ask to get free content. So off he goes, the crack in the boulder is started. They have a taste of the free stuff, and again they don't even think they are doing something wrong because the site NEVER TOLD THEM THEY COULD NOT.
Think about it.
