I'm sure your lawyers are well aware of what copyright law has been transformed into but protecting producers for life was not the purpose. It has always been for the spread of information with the greater good of society in mind.

Ok, as I read that...the whole purpose of Copyright is exactly what I've been talking about...to stop the killing of production and ideas and new content.

I think we're together on that. I think that nobody should be able to take my vid 5 minutes after I release it and put it on their pirate site and make money off of ad sales while I lose my ass.

As for arguments about lifetime copyright and such...I am not even interested in that argument as it has zero to do with my work or the porn biz in general. For the most part...porn is a time sensitive.

Unless you're trying to run a "retro" porn site...the only thing that makes a big difference is your latest update. The older stuff is the body of work that keeps your customers happy, but without that latest update they soon leave anyway.

I'm happy with what I'm seeing as the founding father's original intention. And that original intention is EXACTLY what piracy is killing. It's stopping new material from being profitable for the creators.
