Just a little less freedom every day....
How much content from your sites can I pirate and sell via out stores?

Or will you think my "freedom" is bullshit, if I pirate from you?

How much of yours can I steal before you call the police?

The problem is people saying one thing and doing the absolute opposite.

I'm not going to revisit the insane pro-tube vs anti-tube battle again, but if any of you still believe that giving away unlimited porn, while trying to SELL PORN, is a brilliant business plan, then I don't know what to say.

Piracy sucks, but it is only a portion of the revenue loss. The bulk of the loss is self-inflicted.

Now all of the "small government conservatives" here, are so confused that they are willing to allow BIGGER government to step in and play Daddy for us.

It's a trojan horse I tell you!
Don't flatter yourself or porn. This law is about big businesses protecting their property. Not this Ma & Pa industry. OK little extreme, still Microsoft and that level lose more in a day than the entire porn industry does in a month. And that's who it's going to get passed for.

Porn will have to suck it up and adapt to the new laws.
