Then isn't it about time to give the power to the minorities to reverse that trend?
I've had lots of contact from people from that thread and while none of them can be considered as the top crust, they are certainly the ones who are fed up with the current situation and want to do something to protect their own rights.
Unlike the big boys, I'm not in this to profit from racketeering, or else I would never have given out step-by-step instructions on how to lock down your streams. It went one better in developing something that allowed someone to search for stolen images to help in DMCA notice preparation. Maybe at some point I'll figure out how to do the same with videos, or even better still, we as a community will figure it out with available technology, maybe not.
In any case, putting the power to the "regular joe" to combat this problem is what is needed, and tbh, I never realised it until I made that piracy thread (which I only made because of something Robbie said in one of the Lightspeed threads)
I think though I learnt a valuable lesson in not being so damn public with my ideas! Which is a shame, cos that thread is a classic example of what can be achieved through bouncing ideas around.
If it wasn't for *fear* of reprisal, I'd go a lot further in public
