You know I've just ICQed Steve.

This is what concerns me... is it only Bangbros that has such a prominent password-sharing problem or is it a big problem for many paysites?
It's not at all unusual, from our research and experience. We've seen some larger
programs where the jump in sales alone right after Strongbox was installed paid for
the software within hours. The large flow of freeloaders who will often rip the site
can sometimes burn several Mbps. I can't give specific numbers for any specific
client, of course, but I can say that for the larger programs like Twistys and
Netvideogirls Strongbox makes a BIG difference.

For a long time, you could get in with a blank username and password
Yeah that's common. Strongbox won't allow that, of course, so we regularly
see a bunch of people busted trying that when Strongbox is first installed.
Apparently "the other guys" don't catch that.
