It's called making a hypothetical suggestion, you know, much the same way you are suggesting that politicians in the G8 would strive to help protect the businesses responsible for proliferating the Internet with pornography... where exactly did you get
that information BTW?
I guess you feel that you're just a businessman like any other and should enjoy the same rights? Remember the tobacco industry? Governments decided that they didn't like that industry very much, taxes and regulations followed. Same thing has always been true for gambling.
I'm surprised that someone who's been around as long as you seem to think that porn is viewed as an acceptable or legitimate business in the eyes of any western society. In case you've missed it, this entire industry is generally viewed as the unfortunate side effect of having freedom of expression, something a society must endure but hardly embrace nor encourage. There are a lot more people in the world who just want to see you put in jail for making porn than there are people upset about your intellectual property rights being violated, and numbers is what politics is all about.
What the folks in this thread are saying when they say "no regulation" isn't that they enjoy getting their shit stolen, it's that they have enough hindsight to realize that the only reason we are currently here making
any money from doing what we do, is the lack of regulation that allowed us to
start selling porn on the Internet in the first place.
