This industry is renowned for it's belief in others doing it's job for it and doing it for free. (Did that make sense?) I'm sure you understand.

Around 20 years ago I got introduced to a guy called Steve Eastman who runs an organisation called APIC. It might be a bit less, but it was a long time ago. He would trawl the Internet for sites that were using the content of his members and send an email to them and to the hosting company to have it removed. He later followed it up with a DMCA if the content was not removed.

One of the things thrown at him was he only looked after companies within his organisation and paid him to look after. Many thought he should look after people's content for free.

The Adult Internet needs to fall behind one big organisation and get it under one roof to make the pirates squirm.
