Now how to stop that? lol good luck. At least with porn they can't pirate it and sell it all over mainstream venues like swap meets. That is a good thing, adults only!!
I made bold the points that need to be emphasized. If you can't see the difference then here it is.

Let's say they gave away a truck load of DVDs every day to increase traffic into the swap meet. Then you might have a closer comparison. People have always sold pirated videos. Eastern Europe wash awash with them, but they were being sold. They cost money to duplicate and money to get them to the market.

Online piracy costs what? It's so low it's profitable to just sell the traffic off the piracy sites. This has become the business of many here. Or can the traffic sellers tell us otherwise?
