With all due respect, most of the people in this business can't afford expensive law suits and others who may be able to, don't want to deal with the headache of it all. It's best to work on not getting your content stolen in the first place.
I speak for many when I say, real life practical "how to protect your content" is what the industry needs the most, and it needs to be available to the masses. They need real solutions more than a panel of experts discussing how and who they can sue. That very "how to" info may have been provided at this retreat, I was not there, I'm simply speaking from a realistic point of view. If it wasn't, it should be the main topic of discussion at the next retreat.
Which leads me to another issue, even since the first retreat, why is this so secret? The industries enemies were already there in attendance, so why not stream this event or put the videos (or notes) online for those who could honestly need some info, if it was so valuable? Important information like this should not be kept for just a handful of people with large libraries or the ability to come to a show. Of course, that is if anyone is actually concerned with honestly helping the industry and not trying to make a buck somewhere.
Put that shit online, let the information flow. BRING THE RETREAT TO THE MASSES!!!
Thanks to Robbie and Borked (Andy), I've locked my streams down and am never looking back, as the amount of
new scenes of mine floating around online is next to nothing. Now we're just cleaning up old content and the literal handful who slipped by with screen recorders, but we're working on a solution for that too.
