I agree with that when it comes to the plethora of generic porn out there. Replace Whore X getting fucked on the couch with Studio A, with the same Whore X getting fucked on a different couch from Studio B. Studio A is not gong to benefit much unless Studios B, C, D, E, F and G also step up to the plate. But you can bet whatever protection group is catering to those studios won't explain that to any of them.

Almost.

With a department store, no one is standing outside the department store with the item they just stole, giving it away for free to someone who is walking in about to buy that same item.
