So they are now ready to throw themselves at Fabian.

And just like happened a couple of years ago...they are reacting instead of being proactive.
Manwin is really just one new copyright law and treaty away from going back to being a small company again in porn.
This from a guy who ran an enormous TGP site charging to give away free porn. Now he's complaining someone has leap frogged him in giving away more than he could. Robbie I saw it coming. Everyone was leap frogging each other in how much they could give away, the only thing holding them back was BW prices.

As for Manwin being a law or treaty away from being a small company. Well that's more wishful than me wishing to be 40 again. They have enough content to go legit if they have to everyone else has to. Also this business has driven down the price of content to a level that they can invest a $50K and buy everything they will ever need.

Welcome to the business you helped create.
