DWB, I do not care if any of this "falls on my door step" you seem to think I have some huge concern about the fact that you complain to me... I just like arguing now and then and I am currently home alone and have nothing better to do..
Also, I do not start with the speaking down, I just give back what people like you throw at me, that's all... if you have a problem with that, so be it... I could not care less.
Regarding your ideas...
1) Cutting free emails would deny half of the adult webmasters access to upload content
2) Somehow "verifying" by hand accounts and making sure they are associated with a specific studio means in case of a mistake or a malicious attempt in faking the information by someone, we are liable for it.
3) Allowing only "emails from the programs owning the content" to upload it, requires screening for copyrights and thus invalidates your DMCA Safe Harbor. If one single mistake is done here, we can get sued and have no way to protect us against it.
As a side effect, it will also cause any promotional content to no longer be usable by affiliates and would effectively kill the last bit of power affiliates still have.
4) You ask me to turn them off since none of your other solutions work. Turning them off is the only way other than complying with DMCA law to keep Safe Harbor to not make yourself liable for the content on them.
5) Does not matter if you make money from the image or not, without DMCA, GFY is liable, they make money of it, they would get sued, and they could in theory sue you if they ever found you...
6) If you have a great other solution than fignerprinting, why do you not make it public? You keep saying you want to fight piracy, would that not do that? Also, if its only for your new content, fingerprinting, for free, your old content would make sure it never comes up on many of the sites you hate so much.
7) As I said, I reply to people the way they treat me... I apologized for the hissy fit the second Mike explained what happened, in case you did not notice ;)
8) We do not run a pirate network, we run tube sites which by DMCA law require certain things to protect ourself. Our site gets hundreds and hundreds of uploads from inside the industry to promote other sites via our traffic. They get a fraction of that from the outside and there is no way for us to filter those without breaking DMCA safe harbor. At least I have not found one yet, and I understand that you think there are many, but I am very sorry, you do not understand the law. I have spent a lot of money making sure I understand it and we have a lot of law firms telling us what we can and can not do and also why that is the case... I am constantly seeing what else I can do to limit the infringing content on our sites, but there is a law I have to follow to be sure that I am not found liable for all kinds of other things happening... Of course you will not believe me again and say it's all a sham trying to avoid the actual thing and that all your solutions are safe and you know it much better than me how the law works...
9) Never said anything I do is more important than what others do, I actually said before that I love that CCBill turned off file lockers and I hope more will follow. This is not a contest of who did more or less in fighting piracy, all I said was that I am funding various places that fight piracy too.
As I said, I am not throwing temper tantrums, trust me, they look very different because I do through them sometimes <g> ... I am simply arguing about piracy with you and others...
