It shouldn't have to be that way though. And you know it.

I remember a few years ago when 2257 loomed over us all, and everybody bitched and complained about how that was going to put people out of business for all the extra paperwork.

Piracy and dmca's are extra paperwork x1000

Ya know Mark.... You are in the web video chat business. Good choice btw.
I myself wanted to get in on this business model back in 03.

However, your business model isn't as affected as a paysite/affiliate program business model is on these issues.

I thought I would just point that out to you and to everyone else when they weigh in these very biased opinions on the state of the industry and who and what is getting processed nowadays.
