Put as much energy into as you wish, your content will still be out there and when it is, you still get the right to object when people you thought you could trust go and do business with those that stole it.
Why does everything have to be so black and white on this board? Why is it that if you build better security, you can no longer complain about the thieves? Why can't you do both?
Yes, people should work on security, yes people should find ways to work with them/against them/around them, yes people should innovate, yes people should focus on their own business... but why does that suddenly mean that they can't be upset that they're being stolen from?

They can't be upset because they are not doing ANYTHING to stop content theft from their own members areas. What are they doing? Htaccess? They make it simple for anyone to go in with a download manager and rip their whole site in no time. Most of them say you will upset the po wittle surfer if they don't let them download and keep their content. I swear someone sells retard sandwiches at all the shows. We are a rental model. Yet selling content for a rental price.
Someone explain to me why the content we have is worth a tiny percentage of what it should be worth. If you goto an adult book store what is the average price of a dvd with 4 to 8 scenes on it? 20.00? 30.00? I've seen upto 100 per dvd. Why is our content (that costs the same to shoot) worth less when we deliver the content to the consumer at a faster more convenient method where they don't have to leave the house, don't have to face the embarrassment of people they know in the area seeing them get their porn etc etc?
Anyone looked at the prices cable companies charge to view a single movie as pay per view?
We are all working in an industry that doesn't know its own worth. We are working in an industry that is functionally retarded...
