We have found a way to make some money back from the pirate bay while they continue to have content of ours on their site. Do we DMCA the content, of course we do. But why would I sit here and cry and cry and cry about the evil pirate bay and not try to get some money back?! Your only argument is that we pay them money. If we would not pay them money, they would make money otherwise, or possibly even not care and still won't close, so why let anyone else profit from our content instead if we can do so ourselves?!

In the end, its a simple business decision: Do I want someone else to profit off of a site like TPB that has stolen content of mine available, or do I ignore my ethics here and decide that it makes more sense to get some money back from these people and show them why paying for our porn is a good thing?
I chose to not let someone else profit from my content. Or at least I try not to as much as I can.

The bottom line is that when it comes to ethics, the Managing Partner of Manwin, admittedly ignores ethics and puts profits first.
Nathan (Fabian Thylmann) crys crocodile tears about PB's blatant content theft, and acts almost like he is being forced to pay the Pirate Bay more money to make them more successful, yet bright as he says he is, he can think of no possible alternative.
The facts are clear that not only is Manwin financially supporting the worst form of piracy, they are admittedly profiting from it.
