I would think that there are MORE than enough established companies that they can get a fucking clue, get serious and pay $15 for a set of TGP content.
It's very nice of you to take it so lightly, but this is somethign that chips away at the very cornerstone of the adult industry.. Content providers are an integral part of the chain. Theft happens, sure, and nobody is ever going to stop it 100%. But when the sponsors essentially start CONDONING that shit by inaction, that is when things go WAY too far.
I'm actually surprised that you seem to condone such actions. I had a lot more respect for your opinions than that. Theft is theft, I don't care what color you paint it. People who are going to rip you off in little things are DEFINITELY not going to hesitate to do it for bigger things. Most of these thieves also cheat in other ways as well, and they ruin it for ALL affiliates of the programs. If not by content theft, by other ways.
