Considering you complaining about how people are makeing money off your content, you could easily turn a profit if you did setup such a private tracker. But i suspect you would make less money, than you are currently making charging monopoly prices for fair use distribution (time shifting, backup, recovery) when people choose to re-subscribe to get access to old content they really have a fair use right to access.
Which is the real reason you don't want to address the senerio of setting a private tracker up yourself.

I know this is silly of me to keep buying into this double talk and circular (il)logic, but I will play ball with you a little more for the sake of argument. First of all who the fuck has ever even heard of a private tracker? Hardly anyone and I doubt any pay site members are clamoring such such a utility to access content that they legitimately paid for when they can simply log into the site with a browser and download all they want.
But let's say I took your advice and set one up a private tracker that had sufficient security such that only members with a password could use it. Essentially, it's just another way for members with a legitimate password to get access to the content instead of using a html browser to log into a pay site and download the content, right? So if I set that up would that mean you would now agree that a pay site owner had fulfilled his "fair use responsibility", and that they could then start suing the pants off of everyone who used other means to distribute the content like torrents or rapidshare or whatever?
I mean, is this your whole goal with all your stupid arguments, to promote the use of a "private tracker" whatever the fuck that is? I really don't understand your point about me not wanting to set up a "private tracker" as if it was going to hurt my business. I mean, I film some content, I put it on DVD, make a pay site or make video clips available for individual sale and try to give people a good value for their dollar. I want them to be able to download the videos and pics and enjoy it and jerk off to it. Why wouldn't I? The only problem a studio or site owner has is when one person takes the videos they paid $10 or $24.95 for and distributes them to tens of thousand of other people for free. And it sounds to me every time you make a post like that is exactly what you want to see happen. Don't you realize that's how you come across?
