Any site that closes can blame it on piracy because it is an easy scapegoat. What if they were bad money managers? What if they didn't invest in the latest technology? What if...


I got out of Johns post the same as you. He did not defend piracy one bit! With so many years in the business and especially as a service provider to pay sites (birds eye view, just like a host) his views are certainly informed.

Nobody is saying business is easy, it never has been. Sometimes a good ride is just that.. good while it lasts. Growing businesses require constant work and development, especially after long periods of time. And not a one of us is saying piracy hasn't cost us all a fortune in revenue. It certainly has.
