As someone who spends a lot of money on content I was embarrassed at how little I knew and how little I was doing to protect my content. The main reason I did so little was because I didn't realize the options and tools that are available to content owners.
The only sad part about the Content Retreat was the demographics. I think 90% of the attendees were gay content owners. It's a shame the straight side isn't doing more.
Thanks again to Allison and the Pink Visual crew for putting this together, inviting me and encouraging me to go. I highly recommend all content owners to find a way to attend a future retreat. It's not about just one company doing something, if each of us start doing something to protect our content we can start making a difference for everyone.

Hey Shap, it was great to see you in LA.
Stewie and I went to the first CPR last year, and I completely agree with your comments. It was the most informative and productive industry event we have ever attended. Allison and her team did an amazing job creating a non-biased, open atmosphere that was truly educational and encouraged the sharing of ideas. Plus, this wasn?t just for the big studios? There was a ton of useful information and strategies for programs of any size. The only difference I can see, based on your comments, is that we had more straight companies at the first one. If they announce plans for a CPR3, and you?re a site or program owner that missed the first two, I would highly recommend that you sign up.
