kroncheez, the main difference between porn vs music or hollywood movies being pirated is:
The Govt. actually goes after mainstream piracy and courts actually are sympathetic to the Music Industry and Hollywood.

When it comes to porn? The Govt. is GLAD we are getting destroyed and so are the courts.

If you pirate a Hollywood movie or an album, you would know that there is a possibility you could get into trouble.

If you pirate a porn movie? You get a high-five from your buddies and don't have to worry at all about getting in trouble.

Plus when it's all sitting there on tube sites with full scenes by the tens of thousands...it's OBVIOUSLY free.

You didn't see the music industry putting up sites like Napster themselves.

But people in our industry do just that. Pornhub is FULL of stolen full scenes of porn.
And then Mansef/Manwin/MindGeek also hire a team to dmca Brazzers videos down from other pirate sites.
And to top it all off...the very companies who get their shit stolen and put up on Pornhub, then turn around and PAY Pornhub for the traffic that their own stolen scenes are generating!

Can you imagine a band paying Napster back in the day to give away their own music in the hopes that 1 in 10,000,000 MIGHT buy the album?

It's called cutting your own throat.
