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.

Yeah, I was responding to Paul saying that the purpose of copyright was to "protect the creators of a product from every Tom, Dick and Harry thinking he can "share" his one copy with the world".
The only reason they granted copyright was to keep the flow of creative ideas going by giving people an incentive to release their copyrighted material. They didn't care about someone being able to profit from their work, that was just a side effect that was begrudgingly accepted. We are on the same page about that being the law, always was. I brought it up to show that it wasn't done because they wanted everyone making money on this stuff, they just accepted it.
Anyhow, I see he's already responded more to steer the conversation in yet another direction. I'll just let him spew I suppose.
