The thing about that is...only a very small percentage of those thieves would even think that way if it weren't for piracy.
If they HAD to pay to see porn, eventually they would. Even if it was just one time. Curiosity and human perversion would get to them.
But when it already is sitting there for free...and then places like GFY and a thousand other forums give thieves like gideongallery a voice to encourage theft...and then surfer forums with millions of uniques a day and links every paysite's entire ripped members areas are posted and categorized for ease of use...
Well those kinds of things convert people into BECOMING a person who "would never pay".
All those people WERE potential customers and it used to be our job as marketers to convince them to buy. But now? Good luck.
