No I don't think the government should play any part in what I'm allowed to see, or what I'm allowed to share with other people. I think the government is just looking for ONE more way to control us, and this is one more rule to use to fuck us over in the grand scheme of things.

You could say file sharing helps or hurts, depending on your agenda... but the bottom line is that it's here. There's no way around that. So thinking in terms of what you can do in the meantime, you can simply adapt.

Think DRM.

Yes, there's people that use free porn to get their wack on. But, there's also people that continue to whip out the credit card regardless of free porn. The people that pay, buy memberships over and over. That's just what they do. So I'm not worried.

Ultimately through the distribution of all this free porn, is the method people are using to find YOUR porn. So ultimately if all this other "free porn" didn't exist, I doubt yours would either. So in a way, yes it hurts that there's other free porn out there, but ultimately you wouldn't have any eyeballs looking at your site if it didn't. And either way, there's still the same amount of PAYING eyeballs out there. They'll always continue to pay, for some people that's just what they do.

Either way, you can hop on the file-sharing bandwagon, or you can just get run over by it.
