On a given day, we can say at least tubes get 2mil uv. If you combine that number with the uvs of forums and torrents and misc. outlets, that number becomes even bigger.
How can a site owner or copyright owner properly quantify the amount lost with those kinds of statistics?
For small programs and programs with licensed content, the indirect effect of piracy is much greater than direct piracy of content.
At $500 a year, at least, I can't see how that would have any impact on membership sales. I mean what can you expect for a little over a dollar a day that can't be recouped by 1 dollar a day more spent in marketing?
That comes to about 16 memberships over the course of a year.
As for filelockers themselves, are they not dependent on the outlets more than the locker itself?
I cant get passed the fact an organization like copycontrol is necessary in theory, however, it seems like it should be organized not as an enterprise, but as a voluntary association, with voluntary donations or dues with privilages, with transparent record keeping.
Basically, the problem seems to be greater than one owner's own content.
